I do think 668 is a good number but it definitely is not enough to budge me. Especially since I just did a full build anyway. It should be enough tho to sway some to wait. And I do think it is good that GM FINALLY gave us a bump even if it is a minor one.

Its 18 hp. Like +10 to wheels. Maybe its the same engine tested in 55 degree weather... lol. Silly to budge for anything not at least 50hp and even then that's still low. Honestly, they could of put a better cam in the LT4 to make some more power. The LT4 cam is puny. 189/223.


Imagine if there was no such thing as emissions in 2021.
