The Cadillac blower engine makes over 106 hp/L and 97.5 lb-ft/L. I don't think GM would let the LS9 out wilth less specific output. That equates to slghtly over 600 lb-ft and 660 hp. We'll see.
Underpromise, overdeliver.

cant wait to see what a nice blower grind cam, headers, smaller pulley, and ported heads will do 
sounds badass!! i wonder if the new clutch will be transferable to other models like the current Z06...a GM twin plate clutch would be pretty sweet and probably come in less then a textralia or one of the other twin plates out there

the best part is that we will be able to swap the top end stuff right into the ls2 trailblazers. being as its going to be based on a ls3 bore demension, the valves will most likely clear with ease. i think im gonna have to start a ls junk yard and get a peice of the action lol

When will all these parts be AVAILABLE!!!!
I'm interested to see if they sell it as a crate engine and what it will cost?
If you do a quick ratio of LS7 crate engine cost to Z06 MSRP cost it is about 18.65%
Thus if MSRP of the ZR1 is $100k it should be in the ball park of $19,000.
If that is even close to accurate I WILL be buying one for my 95 TA!
