the fuel cutoff, calibration, and camshaft profiles will be totally different than what the LS9 is, because of the application. its looking like the de-tuned version that this PDF represents is going to be a replacement for the vortec 8100 in some applications. 5600 does seem low when it makes max power and tq at only 200rpm less, it may be a typo. 
yes, its very different. most hulls have alot of drag, ALL THE TIME. the engine is always working real hard to keep the boat moving.
Anyways, I thought it was pretty neat. this platform will blow the I/O market open, the supercharged engines are perfect for the kind of duty cycles in the marine environment.
