wonder if adding a supercharger will require dropping the engine now…or if theres even enough room for the additional pulley off the crank. ---

I think we’re gonna see more turbo options than supercharging just due to the exhaust routing. ---

The most exciting part of the turbo idea is tuning…the 3.6 twin in the ats makes insane power with just a tune. But…they went all out with titanium rods and upgrading the block. I’d imagine the same to be done with the C8 z06 & zr1 especially if they move to a flat plane crank. ---

I would imagine they would all be forged, especially since the lt4/lt5 are. New zr1 with AMP stage 5 are running 8.5 in the 1/4. That’s insane for a stock trans,converter,diff,axle car. ---

Pretty sure it’s about 40-50 engines a day. My old colleagues there are just chillin’ at their desks and my hourly buddies are outside with their signs. 40-50 a day isn’t jack shit. We’d make 1000+ in a shift. They should be able to catch up no time I’d imagine. ---

I’ve questioned it as well. Not trying to hate on these people but this kind of reminds me of Mcdonalds and other fast food chains and the employees wanting the $15 an hour for an unskilled job. Aren’t these people that are fighting, mostly doing unskilled jobs that really anyone can do? How far do you push before the cost for your benefits, pay, etc equal the amount for robotics/automation to kick in full effect to remove those jobs? Fast food places are starting to go this route because of the cost. Side note, I really have no clue what these people make and the benefits they receive currently.
