Sprinkle pixie dust on its back, makes for a smoother ride depending on your unicorn....



Overall though do we know what the major differences are compared to the current 6.2l?

What i "heard" was:

1. Intake
2. Direct port injection - Not sure if this somehow modifys a l92 head or what?
3.Tuning

So with that said, probably same or near 10.5:1 compression, same crank, rods, pistons, block, VVT cam, 87mm TB, l92 heads (Not a diesel guy or a guy with gasoline direct port injection knowledge so i be clueless).

I didnt state a fact. It was a rumor that was going around at the dealership that my buddy told me.

I don't think he was implying that, but more so that we have heard so many SS rumors over the years that its laughable. I would love for it to be true but I'll believe it when I see it.

I don't think GM will ever release a truck with HP ratings above the base model vette.

I can't wait to see how the 14 runs with the 6.2. I'm thinking the 14 is pretty heavy after watching the test of the 14/5.3 truck and it's pathetic 8.78 sec 0-60. It appears it is slower than the 2013 truck. My 13/6.2 had a 6.09 0-60 stock.

My guess is even less usable torque than the current generation, even more rev happy, more advertised horsepower and even slower than the current trucks already are. Pathetic.

Hell no, they won't even show numbers for a Camaro that are bigger than the Vette numbers, even if it's EXACTLY the same motor!

Heads and cams are totally backwards from current and everything else for that matter. Intake is totally redone. Tuning won't be that crazy other than direct injection. This is a very different animal mechanically.

I think the only thing they reused was a couple bolts and the wrist pin from the ls3 pistons...
