Hmm, more Hp with a smaller throttle body. Can you say efficiency?

I hope they have this info at SEMA next week.

Cool stuff, I like the revival of the LT1 name :D

So I'm assuming that it has a low pressure in-tank pump that feeds to a higher pressure pump near the engine. Does anyone know what the high pressure pump is driven from and where it is located. I can see in the one slide that they have it shown, but I can't quite make out the details. It looks like 2175 or 2275psi..............

Just curious -- thinking ahead. If it is driven off of the camshaft or something, then for swap purposes, it may be as simple as using some of the currently available tank/pump options to feed the high pressure pump.

Seems pretty cool to me - -can't wait to see on in an old car!!!!

Brandon, I think its cam driven. In the chevy hardcaore link there is a triangular lobe on the cam near the front. There is what looks to be a fuel pump boss on the drivers side of the block.

I thought I saw a spy pic awhile back where the high pressure pump would be belt driven.

Where are we going to put the power steering pump? That offset water pump will make things interesting.
