LOL! Like you, I refer to my motors in cubic inches most of the time. The metric system is here to stay, so we need to 'conform'That was cool. I finally learned the answer to something that had been rattling around in my head for a long time: 6.2L = 376 cubic inches. It's bugged me for years. Stupid metric system. I like my displacement described in cubic inches, as God intended.
Yes, they are the same motors with the exception of the AFM components on the L99. The difference in power is more than likely due to a milder cam to work with the collapsible lifters of the AFM system. That doesn't mean the cam can't be changed and still work within the design parameters of the AFM lifters. There will be little if any power differences between the two motors with proper tuning.A little confusing, is the LS3 and L99 the same motor? Just the L99 has the AFM.Im torn between man or auto, because the wife likes driving the auto. I just want the POWER.If the L99 can be tuned ill give in to the auto.
Not if they keep shortening the tracks. We'll all be below 11.50.After re-reading the whole article A-G-A-I-N, I've come to the conclusion that it will be safe to spray a 200 shot!:roxor: Time to order my 'two' bottle bracket!
I will be kicked off the track for dipping below the NHRA 11.50 rule without a 5 point roll bar.![]()
it really dose make you think... it is so finly tuned it would seem like a crime to mess with it... but o wellmakes you rethink future internal mods...
new intake? not needed
new heads? not needed
port/polish? not needed
cam? perhaps but really not needed (but I love the sound of a big cam)
the only thing I can think of is a cold air kit and a set of good quality after market headers (reusing the great factory gaskets) and full exhaust.
Otherwise put the LS9 supercharger or turbo kit on it and be done!
wow I want the LS3 now!!![]()
I was curious about that too. I used a converter and it comes to 378.3 CID. That's assuming it is exactly 6.2 liters.That was cool. I finally learned the answer to something that had been rattling around in my head for a long time: 6.2L = 376 cubic inches.
Oh it can be tuned.A little confusing, is the LS3 and L99 the same motor? Just the L99 has the AFM.Im torn between man or auto, because the wife likes driving the auto. I just want the POWER.If the L99 can be tuned ill give in to the auto.
