NA yes, But the compression ratios are so high that there is little room for added power with out making big and spensive changes to the motor.


Now if you aren't an aftermarket upgrade kinda person then the high CR makes little difference.

But being Blown with a lower CR leaves the door open for ZR1 LS9 power numbers with low cost mods. For me that's part of the appeal.
