The LSX376 is built from the ground up, starting with the famous GMPP LSX Bowtie Iron block. At 6.2L, it has the same displacement as its OE cousin, the LS3. The LSX block was designed with racing and high-horsepower street-strip engines in mind, where 500 HP is the starting point. Cast iron is not only strong, it is less expensive to produce a fully-prepped race block than its counterpart in aluminum. With this in mind, the Chevy Performance engineers have developed an economical LSX-based long-block engine that can be the foundation for a healthy supercharged engine, or a more radical normally aspirated powerplant.
If you want to add your own blower or turbocharger, rather than the factory EFI, you can make much bigger horsepower numbers. A word of warning: With any high-horsepower engine combination, combustion control is extremely critical to engine longevity. To put it another way, ignition timing, power adders, such as nitrous oxide, superchargers and turbochargers put extreme stress on all engine components. Combustion events caused by incorrect tuning, or too aggressive power development can result in nearly instantaneous damage or catastrophic destruction. Use caution and seek professional tuning advice if you are attempting to produce 700 HP or more.
A good choice for a healthy street performance engine would be the GMPP LSA 1.9L blower assembly. This is the same supercharger used on the CTS-V and Camaro ZL1 6.2L original equipment engines. Everything fits like the factory, and we also have the rugged LSA FEAD kit available that takes the guesswork out completing your installation. Fore more info, go to www.chevroletpe...
