No there wasn't. Lol Those were heads/cam numbers in the very beginning. I remember when Katech's Street Attack 54Xwhp LS7-powered Camaro was a huge deal in 2007. 550+whp just wasn't common in those days. The LT1 lacks displacement but has years of technology on its side. You'd be a fool not to consider that.
Considering what LMR has done with very little R&D, 600whp LT1's will be a thing of the future. There are 4XX stroker kits for the LT1 currently in development. Here's an engine dyno graph of one that TSP is testing. Keep in mind these are the preliminary stages, basically heads/cam cars lacking majority of the usual supporting mods.

Just like with every other GM series engine it will get better with time.
Trust me, eventually it will. All things equal.
I am fully aware of how well LS7's perform. It took guys a while to put up numbers like that tho.
The C7 has been out since what, late August/early October? As I mentioned, LMR's car already made 551 with a stock airbox, stock (non-ported) intake manifold which guys are seeing 10-15whp from ported ones, no U/D, EWP etc....not even full bolt-ons, basically just heads/cam/exhaust & tune and that's it. All from a little 376ci too. I can only imagine what we will see with more R&D of this engine.
300 pounds heavier than a C6 Z, but the C7's LT1 makes a considerable amount more low-end/midrange torque. Stock they're at 300 ft-lbs @ 1000-rpm!!
I'm just excited about the latest series engine.

I am sure the LT1 will be very potent! If they can go 738RWHP N/A stroked, or 650+RWHP on the stock cubes...I'll eat my words. I still think it's not going to happen though...

That cam wasnt even their final product, it was a prototype cam and very streetable...
Did I mention the car had NO TUNING???
