Okay so if it can be done it is good to be able to rev more with better breathing, the problem is that It is hard to do and keep it street tractable.

So I see the posts and I have read about the Coyote, as well as other articles about power density etc. I have read all about torque and also about the balance of both. I have read about power and the the ability to continually accelerate requires an engine that can keep making power higher and higher into the RPM range.

It seems that the Z28 has a problem. From my own assessment and other smart people and their comments on this thread it seems like an engine like the coyote will cause the LS7 and the Z28 fits. Any engine that can rev that high and have a variable LSA/Overlap can give the designers all they could ask for.

I can easily see a 550 Hp Ford GT350 and if other parts are executed right, look out.

I am not a troll, I am a chevy lover but it seems GM has some home work to do.

Please give me some tech reasons why I am wrong.

Lets keep the discussions friendly.
