So hear me our before you judge the title.

The 3.7 liter engine makes 90.5hp per liter. Its efficient and reliable. So why is the LT1 so far behind in development. By my math, a 6.2 liter engine should make 561hp. That's a metric crap tone of HP.

Suppose you could make the argument that with the GM performance cam and heads IE "hot cam" kit it could get close to the 561hp. But why not include it from the factory. Why so much evolution difference between the platforms?
