We may.
But one look at the HP/LITER that the motor is all ready putting out does not leave a whole lot of room for improvement while still being N/A pump gas (95% of what will be on the road). At 500hp you will be at 100 hp/Liter...the motor is making 412 all ready.
620hp pump gas N/A for the LS3 (6.2 @ 100hp/l) is pretty much the max for the motor considering the highest numbers N/A for H/C cars is around 530 rwhp pump gas.
Unless this motor is a modern marvel you wont get much more than 500hp out of it without adding a supercharger or nitrous. And in the past the OHC motors have never responded as well to cam changes as the LS series.
But then again....you never know I suppose.
