Has some interesting details about that engine and a few specifications.
Thoughts?

^ and 855hp too, more power than the Demon.
This car is going to be nuts, will need slicks if you're taking this on the track.

Wish I had all the money in the world, id strip out everything in the ZR1, install a park bench wing like the ACR and see just how fast this beast will go.

The 865hp includes the parasitic loss created by the blower. It’s common knowledge that the supercharger on the hellcat has 80hp in parasitic loss. Being the Demon has a 2.8L supercharger compared to the hellcats 2.4L; I’d say the parasitic loss is relatively close to Eaton’s 2.65L. So the Demon in retrospect should be even higher than that. But not taking away from either car. Both are badass and I’d like to both in action.
I’m eagerly looking forward to motor trend’s Head 2 head of the ZR1 and ACR.

I think it's rated at 755.

That is impressive. It’s interesting to hear the LT4 carry over parts for the LT5. From that article I guess the crank is the weak link on an LT4?

Not an article on the engine but on the car itself:
