BTW how many auto mans. are using SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) rated motors. Don't worry I'll wait for the answer.
Funny you should mention that. The domestic automakers have been trying for years to get ALL manufacturers to use SAE criteria for reporting. Imports were notorious for inflating Hp. ratings and Km/L or MPG. Some of them got busted not too long ago. Even their odometers were way out of whack, a lot more than the expected or allowable +/- variable. So, back to the Hp. question.... Yes, I would expect the LS3 to have more Hp. than the LS2, values I have seen are in the correct range. The LS(X) base engine would be well NORTH of that and the top LS(X) will be FAR NORTH of that. That is all I have to say about that! (For now)
