Default 2018 COPO Camaro Hits The Strip With All-New 302 Racing Eng

Sounds like that 302 might be a high rpm screamer.

8,000-9,000 RPM ?

The new 302 racing engine is based on the LT1 engine offered in the 2018 Camaro SS, but built for drag racing with unique components. Its displacement derives from a shorter-stroke crankshaft than the production engine that enables exceptional high-rpm capability.

These will probably sound like a Super Stock EM or FM when they run.
8000-9000 RPM? -that's funny

Based on content and overall design of OEM engines & components produced since about 1997 (20 years or so), I'll say no.
