These are considerable improvements over the LS2, which in HSV’s VE Commodore-based range produces 307kW at 6000rpm and 550Nm at 4400rpm...
For those of you who may be interested in rough conversions:

LS2
307kW=412 hp
550Nm=406 lb./ft.

LS3
321kW=430 hp
575Nm=424 lb./ft.

LS3 (dual-mode)
325kW=436 hp
580Nm=428 lb./ft.
