I also hear the LT1 could get a name change in 2017 to LT1-HO due to the new revised injector/ intake set up.
The LT1 and LT4 motors in the C7 base and Z06 will not change in HP for the duration of the C7 run. This is fact. It costs money to certify engine changes and the money being spent now is on C8 development.

Not sure I'd go as far as saying "fact," but I agree with you. If the HP does change, it will more likely be down, to meet new mpg requirements, than up.
