I admittedly don't know much about the LT platform. Speed Inc. just posted a 6th gen making like 870 rwhp with a procharger and an LT4 fuel system so they make it work but I can't say for how long. I remember when I asked why people don't just bolt LT4 blowers on LT1 all the time, that was the answer I got. I'm kind of surprised you don't see more LT based high HP boosted GM cars out there. Must be a reason.

So dyno numbers were apparently leaked this week.

561.2 @5400 rwhp
546 @ 5405 Tq

That's way too high to be an LS2 even if GM is underrating it so that had lead a lot of people to believe these are Z06 numbers. Kinda makes sense since the latest rumor is the Z06 is going back to it's pedigree of an N/A track warrior with a 5.5L flat plane V8. That would put it at 600-620 fwhp. 5400 seems low for an HP peak on a flat plane though.
