I'm assuming the direct inject will give roughly 15ish% more hp maybe 8-10% more tq. They are probably putting a slightly larger cam in with the new VVT
Is this VVT GMs way of cranking the tune up slightly

GM will have to step up their game to keep from being left behind...even dodge/ram (my least favorite automaker) now has an 8 speed auto with a 300 hp v6 that gets 25mpg. Dodge has recently let it out that a 1/2 ton 3.0 liter diesel ram is on the way with the 8 speed and the hemi will also get the 8 speed in 2014. I will be getting a new truck within the next year and even the ecoboost may get the nod.
I want to see 440+ hp in the 6.2 and 20+hwy mpg before the silverado makes my short list. Might be a stupid move for me to buy the gm before their 8 speed makes it's debut though.

I am wandering why GM has not messed around with dual over head cams. As much as I HATE ford their 5.0 motor is very impressive from factory
Dodge 8 speed transmission sounds like it will have 3 more speeds of problems like the 5 speeds haha
