My bro got all the tech specs on the engine and did the math...525hp (computer estimated). Of course it remains to be seen what really happens once there's an exhaust and EGR system setup on it. But I do know that GM is not going to leave the bowties sit in the dust for long. They'll be back on top soon.

Ummm... considering the LS6es didn't even have EGR (neither did the '01+ LS1s), I seriously doubt the LS7 will have one. That's something your bro should already know... And since he knows all the specs, what are they? I'd like to know, also.

Maybe I should cry about having 65ci less?

...simmer down man...it's all in good fun. You don't have to prove anything to me about the almighty LS1. Someone used to have one.

I'm not upset man, just trying to even the playing fields out like you said.
I guess those 16 extra valves and 3 extra cams dont do much?
I have a LT1, LT1's are ALOT less powerful stock then a stock LS1.

Thus the reason my bro is in product design, not engine design. Plus i've not had the pleasure of popping the hood on a Z06, so no, of course, I would not know that. But I will ask him for the build file he setup, that should have all the specs you are interested in.

I can't say that I like either car better than the other. I like each car for different things. My LS1 was very comfortable and the gas mileage was great. It rocked out of the hole too since it was an A4. Running mid 11's with basically a lid, catback, and nitrous is pretty damned impressive too. There are two things that I really like about the Cobra...1.) the power 2.)M6 The rest I deal with.
