the ls engines will keep making power by increasing power adders, turbo, twin turbo, twin superchargers and ramping up boost until the actual materials wont hold. From what I have seen as soon as they starting ramping up power they start adding better internals so it will stay together. At some point I would hope they would entertain the dohc technology and try to get more power that way and not rely so much on just adding boost. Every auto maker is guilty of adding boost to achieve there horsepower goal.

They might consider the camless engine. Using the computer to electronically open and close the valves. This has been something Lotus was trying to develop but at the time there wasnt a device that would open and close the valves fast enough. This was something Dave McLellan spoke about in his book. Camless?? 1 cam, 4 cam and no cam.
