Zero changes for 2007 hosepower or horsepower.

Only changes are minor stuff like radio controls on steering wheel and new paint color.

It's getting 475 horsepower. There, now you heard 475. Don't believe everything you hear. Most people, including me, don't know sh*t.

I think Chevy would have a hard time finding 50 horsepower out of the LS2 while trying to keep emissions and noise levels at the required levels.

I would bet you will see a increase of maybe 20-25 horsepower max in the future. Maybe a slighlty more aggressive cam, like when the went from the 2001 Z06 cam to the 2002 Z06 cam and gained 20 horse.

I will say this, give the C6 450 horse and it would be almost PERFECT!
That would make it a solid high 11 - low 12 second car trapping 115-120.

I have far more than 50 additional HP and I passed emissions and have the stock exhaust. Its quieter than my Ford escape. I also get better gas mileage than stock........when I'm not getting on it.
