Umm after the 5500-7000 grand price, I'm sure they'll love destroying internal engine parts.

If I remember, doesnt the LS-1 already kind have a high compression? If I remember its not a very boost freindly one.

There arent any new FireBirds or Camaros to be had. To say there will be is only speculation.

Plus the possible return of the Camaro, and unlikely return of the FireBird does not mean the return of the LS-1. Gm has been developing and working on a small displacement V8 for a while now, and it has not seen production in any of there vehicles.

I wanna say its like a 3.9 L.

To me that indicates that if they are rising from the grave anytimes soon, they will probably be carying the small displacement V8.

390 HP on the Cobra is probably underated. But dont forget emission plays a big roll in todays vehicles.
