New Z06 engine questions Whats forged inside from the factory?
Is it as good as a Lunati stroker kit? at least a 427 kit?
Whats the easiest way to 550 RWHP with a forged bottom end installed or whatever it already has if its just as good?

I am assuming you're talking about the LS7?
If so, there are like 3-4 threads covering these topics in the top 10 threads in this section. Check them out there's some good info in there.
Here is one to get you started ....

So, I guess if I went to a sponsor and said to build me a badass streetable daily driver engine from scratch, it would be hard pressed to produce more power than a slightly modded LS7 engine, is that correct? Because there aren't any stroker engines putting down 600 RWHP on pump gas, N/A. Just a cam and exhaust change and people think the LS7 will go 600 RWHP, thats just insane.

Also, as far as I am aware, this info is pretty much all educated guesses. I have yet to see a dyno chart of a 600rwhp LS7. So I would take it with a grain of salt until people start reliably and consistently putting down the numbers they are guessing they will.
I don't think it will be a problem putting down 600 rwhp with the new heads and intake system. I know of a few ls1 based 427 putting down 600 so with the new design it will be a lot easier.
