And it's kinda ridiculous what E85 does with these new engines.

Even then, scaling from the 450ish hp from the LT1 from which this engine is based, you'd still end up at 300 hp, give or take, on the 4.3L. Its a good engine I'm sure, but it just seems like they should have been able to squeeze a few more ponies out of it without much hassle.
