the camaro is coming back and its going to have the option for the 500hp LS7
for all i know the GT500 can be pullied and what ever, there was a Z06 tested on the ring that has a distinct whine...see how them bow tie boys do superchargers

i bet it picks up 45-55% more hp. i dont think the high compression would like anything more then 10psi but if GM dropped it to 8.5:1 or 9:1 it could handle a good amount. that is bad news for the ford GT
500 crank X 45%=725 crank hp=about 616whp stock
