Default Official ZR1 Horsepower & Torque Numbers

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/o...and-604-lb-ft/

Horsepower - 638
Torque - 604
And these are SAE Certified numbers!
Part i want to see is the fuel economy numbers, in the link GM expects the LS9 to be the most fuel efficient 600+HP engine in the world.

I wonder what a tune will yield?

And then a pulley swap?

The upcoming Cadillac CTS-V is packing a detuned version of this engine. The Camaro is also rumored to be getting the same setup as well. Camaro ZL1 anyone?

I would love to see an LS9 in the Camaro, that thing will be out of hand. And yeah i want to see that motor with basic bolt ons, pulley, and a bad *** tune.

638hp, that's a nice little bump up from the proposed 620hp number that's been flyin' around...VERY nice.

They vary some do 650, a friend of mine runs the dyno testng for gm and that is what he told me. Pulley, tune , intake, full exhuast, injectors (if it needs it) i bet you could easily see more than 700 to the tire

I remember Digital Corvette was saying this thing would have 650HP like 2 yrs ago...not too far off. Sounds like a bad *** vehicle.

I would maybe take this with a grain of salt as well but Chief Corvette Engineer Tom Wallace is looking at possible 7:20s at the 'ring:

The LS9 variant used by the CTS-V is called LSA and packs 550hp, the Camaro will also be recieving it to answer the Mustang GT500.

Ive always wondered, would displacement on demand be feasible in a forced induction engine? I'm wondering since they made the 'most efficient for the power' comment.
