They used the excuse of clearing the hood on a Z06. You don't build a higher performance motor with a blower on it to fit a hood, you build a hood to fit that motor. Kind of like the LT5 in the ZR1. The LT5 is a badass motor, with an efficient blower, and has an ideal fuel system setup.

+1, although I will add that GM has typically prioritized torque/midrange "street freindly" power vs top end - the LT1 is no different, a screaming 6.2L can make alot more than 390-410 rwhp
The ZL1 would be quite an animal with an LT5. If the Camaro survives, no reason they shouldn't do it, but everyone is in cost cutting mode so it's highly unlikely
