Default RE: 7.0 Hemi?

I know I have heard RUMORs that the updated 5.7L HEMI offered in the trucks will offer more than 2 valves per cylinder. Regardless, I have serious doubts that they will offer a 7.0L HEMI. This would probably be very close to the 600hp range and would threaten the Viper's sales. The 6.4L is a very likely possibility but I have serious doubts about there being a 4 valve per cylinder 7.0L offering. It doesn't fit with the category of the car, I would first expect a supercharger. It would drive prices up even further to build such an engine. The fuel consumption would be terrible (unless they finally give it taller gearing and put the Challenger on Jenny Craig).
