GM Reveals Small-Block V-8 with Direct Injection (possibly for new Camaro)
excerpts from: http://www.camaro5.com/
______________
450+ hp... that's pretty amazing.
However, with a little tweaking to accommodate the auto industry’s latest fuel-injection hardware, the prototype V-8 is producing “well north of 450 hp (on gasoline),” says Dave Sczomak, development engineer-GM Powertrain Advanced Engineering.
A modified engine controller manages the engine’s operation, while VVT and Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation contribute to efficiency and refinement.
“GM would want to introduce this (DIG) on a high-profile vehicle, such as the new (Chevrolet) Camaro or (rear-wheel-drive) Impala,” Global Insight analyst John Wolkonowicz

A bit of background: the engine mentioned is an experimental prototype 6.2L V8. Making over 450HP is pretty good, but nothing special especially since this is an experimental prototype. Prototypes of Toyota's 5.7L V8 were making over 500HP without direct injection.
It will be years at the earliest before we see this engine in production as one of the GM powertrain guys mentions himself that the production engine will require next-gen V8 architecture.
