Lots of speculation as to what the higher performance variations of the LT1 will be but it's not likely to be any less displacement than the 6.2L.

GM is in the business of building cars and trucks for profit. Not in the business of supplying street cars with engines capable of big aftermarket HP. Despite what we enthusiasts want.
Here's a list of the Gen 4 engines and displacements. Are you seriously suggesting the will go from a range of 4.3L to 7.0 L in the Gen 4 to a 6.2 - 6.2+ displacement in Gen 5?

LS2 - 6.0
L76 - 6.0
L98 - 6.0
L77 - 6.0
Vortec 4800 - 4.8
Vortec 5300 - 5.3
Vortec 6000 - 6.0
LS4 - 5.3
LS7 - 7.0
L92 - 6.2
LS3 - 6.2
L99 - 6.2
LS9 - 6.2 SC
LSA - 6.2 SC
