AMS Performance 2008 LS3

Another BangkokDean great post!!!

Some comments. The car in the video was a Z06, the Z06's came from the factory with the LS7 427 cubic inch engine. Not a LS3. I think that the engine in this video this is a modified engine car that has adapted ZR1 technology. The ZR1's with the 600+ hp engines are modified LS3's...titanium rods like the LS7's. I think that if someone was going to build up a Z06 C6 for turbocharged max hp they'd mod the engine to be a LS3 with the ZR1(a la high tech LS3 engine upgrade).

The reason for using a LS3, instead of a LS7, for a turbo applications is that I understand that the LS7 has very thin walls between the pistons and it's not a good engine to supercharge. ....So I would guess that the car in the video was a Z06 that had the engine replaced with a built up turbo charged LS3.
