A most excellent upgrade. Almost an extra 30bhp! Plus being the first gen of this engine, she is going to be well detuned

[Boosted LS1]

What are you comparing it to, ls2?

[ringram]

Yeah 307kw to 325kw

Well more like 25bhp... but with the nicer heads and displacement growth potential should be excellent. US tuners are getting over 500rwhp from them cam only! Which by the sounds is more like 450rwhp UK/Oz dyno's.

Why does something better always come out? How are you meant to know when to buy!

Graph for GM engine geeks



"useful life hydrocarbon emissions are reduced by over 12% and useful life NOx emissions are reduced by over 40% compared to the LS2."
