Thanks to JerriVette for letting us know this version of AutoLine After Hours is on right now and features the Jordan Lee, Chief Engineer of Small Block Engines talking about the LT1.
Lots of interesting news/views of the LT1, etc.:thumbs: Starts around 22:00 and is at: http://www.autoline.tv/journal/?m=201305&cat=790 |

Well that at least eliminates all of the "its only going to make 450hp" naysayers.

SAE testing was "just completed last week." Thanks BlueOx for posting the link! Is it me or does that guy seem like he's smoked a bit too much whacky tobacco? |
Good vid!

Would that be because of hardware, software or both?

Too much effort to make it happen at this time and given how little availability of E85 there is.

Well, the motor is certainly capable...it just comes down to the supportive hardware to manage it being absent.
They'll save that for mid gen update hp boost. |

If you know, would the current LT1 hardware configuration make it possible?
I take that as a no to your question, RC. |
"A measurable amount" can mean as much as 475+hp or as little as only 458hp...hoping for the best.
|
Change oil every 7500 miles...in his opinion. Recommends going by Oil Life.
|
Compression ignition not likely...but being researched.
|
Turbo or no? No clear answer.
SBC sticking around a LONG time!:thumbs: |

There's DEFINITELY something afoot here with this LT1 redline...
I've heard multiple conflicting statements from various internal engineers to GM. Something is up here... Powertrain guys told me at the bash... 6600, this video says... 6600 Definitely talked to two test engineers that said they were at 7000rpm, and multiple instances were stated about 7100. Interesting... HOW bad ass would it be if you could gain 500rpm rev limit in track/race mode! And/OR Z51 enables 500rpm higher limit in track/race mode due to additional dry sump and cooling system You heard it from me first!!!! |
