Interesting.

It sounds like there is a lot of guesswork in going back up the drivetrain, though.

This is not a new engine for GM. They know every inch of it, and last I checked, they've been in the car business for quite a while - long enough to know what they are doing. I'm thinking that the manufacturer wouldn't under-state the actual HP figure by that much, so doubting that the test and report are really much more than click bait. But GM won't mind the extra attention, just the same!
We'll see? That's what they thought about the first Supra dyno. Then everyone and their grandma was pulling at least an extra 50hp. Time will tell.

Edit:

So I configured my Z51 C8... To the exact spec i would like. Its $92,800. Nearly 33,000 over MSRP. And i haven't loaded it yet. Let me see what i can do as bare bones.
