wait till shops get a hold of it and start doing basic bolt-ons and tunes.
im sure you dont want to have to eat your words
I may have to... it all depends on how good the factory headers are and how much playing w/ the VVT can affect thigns. That said... 400 rwhp out of a 5.0 is a good bit NA. Plus, they're allready reving to 7k and at 11:1 compression. So you can't bump the compression much on pump gas.

I think the C7 Corvette will have a 5.5 liter motor w/ cam phasing and DI making around 450 horse in the base model.
How much do aftermarket or worked over 4V heads cost? How much for new cams and all new valvetrain stuff? How much have they spent to get "close" to 400 rwhp out of the 4.6 NA when I can get there with LT headers and a tune in a LS6 and am 30 horse past that in a LS3.
So they didn't stroke it... fine.... but give me heads and a cam on a LS1 and I cam make 460-490 rwhp w/ easy.... 500+ on a LS3 and 550+ on a LS7.
every article i find about the motor it says "The connecting rods are forged powdered metal and the pistons are hyper-eutectic" So they are still the shitty rods. not forged steel
