truthfully, there will be a huge learning curve. We have been working with DI engines and tuning them for many years now, and they have their own limits for power. This isn't something where you can buy injectors, and a fuel pump from something and make it work. So while there will be some good power to be had, there will be a wall at which you will run out of fuel and no longer be able to add power without aids like methanol injection, but those will only extend the range so far.

We have a good bit planned for our shop car when it comes in, and we will be finding those limitations, so stay tuned for what the future holds

Well I am sure over the course of a year or two companies will make stronger fuel pumps and injectors for DI.. especially if they the first that is a lot of money to be had for that company but yeah I know it wont be just couple of months.. just letting people know shops going to work on it.. some people trying to say you wont be able to do anything or tune at all..
I am sure chevy will work with some shops/..

then you might have impatient people swapping engines..

You guys have built some badass cars both ford and chevy..
Hoping my shop Jannetty Racing, and shops like you jump on board and I am sure things will slowly come out as long as depend is there of course..

Yeah ive heard that. Just put up as example that shop do plan to do upgrades to the cars. Some people are saying they will never be able to mod it or tune it.
They said samething about v6 camaro but then someone eventually cracked the pcm. and I am sure the corvette has a bigger aftermarket following.

Jannetty Racing is my performance shop. Awesome shop. Great guys & incredible work. Only shop that has touched my Camaro

I've read somewhere that LT-1's are built closer to being maxed out/closer to the edge than the LS series was though.
I read the article was just BS .. going off idea that 25hp more so closer to max.
They dont even know what internals are. Know a couple stock bottom ls3 at over 700whp im sure LT1 just as strong or stronger

Took Hennessey a few months to figure out the Dodge SRT computer but they have it nailed now.
