Hell...if you'd have said that the TTV6 would have 420/430 tq...I'd have called you nuts...I thought 400 would be a stretch And.....I think those are estimates, right? Could be as awesome as 430/440?

I don't see why it can't go quite a bit further than that. We have several Supercharged LLTs running those HP levels without issue and the LFX is a lot more FI-friendly. Lowering the compression ratio to 10.2:1 should allow it to run quite a bit more boost, and it sounds like the beefed up the rods (which are already very tough) and the pistons (which we've seen some breakage on in the LLTs). I bet the tuners will have these things running around 600 BHP in no time. I would think GM is just being a bit conservative and leaving something on the plate if they get some competiton from Ford.
