The engine revs high enough to hit their power goals, I'm sure.

However, if a flatplane crank design is to be used, it may in fact be more desirable to lose a few tenth of a litre to just under 5.0 for the sake of balance.
Then hypothetically speaking, Chevy can drop in the LSX454r. 720 horsepower naturally aspirated.
