Tried to find the thread about the future of LT5 technology but couldn't...

Article below is pretty interesting. DOHC heads on 5.0L for 412 naturally aspirated horsepower, dual cam phasing. I wonder what GM could do with DOHC heads on 6.2L???

I thought it was interesting the comment that direct injection would not be implemented due to cost and schedule and that it would provide a marginal performance increase due to higher compression ratio; 12:1 vs 11:1. I wonder if they will implement DI for better fuel economy or clean emissions?
