Now you're being more specific. The original post is somewhat misleading.

Expect the Z/28 option list to be very short...

Wasn't trying to be misleading. The point stands on its own with the fact that GM, the ones who build these motors, chose to boost the LS3 over the LS7. I am not saying it can't be done and once the build goes from mild to wild that certain precautions will have to take place to ensure some sort of reliability. Similar to the VQ. At some point the stock internals will not be able to handle the load placed on it and things will go wrong. As said there are builds on the LS7 in the 700-800hp range with no reported issues. Wasn't trying to make this a debate. You can boost anything with enough money.
