LS3 has higher peak output (426 vs 412 or 420 depending on year).
don't forget the 444 hp Boss 5.0
LS3 is lighter
[advantage 1 of pushrod[/b]
LS3 makes more power throughout 90-95% of the entire powerband.
considering it has high peak power it should
LS3 takes up less space
[b] advantage 2 [b/]
LS3 is capable of roughly the same fuel economy
last i checked the LS3 is 2 MPG less on the highway, and the L99 has AFM and still is less than the non AFM 5.0/auto
If you want HP/L then buy a Honda.  Or get a V6 camaro, which has a high hp/L as well.
GM is following suit. The GEN V V8 will be released soon. We shall see what that powerplant will bring. |
WJust highlighting a few things, also, while HP p/l is not the best indicator, this is still a 1.2 liter SMALLER motor keeping pace, can you imagine a 6.2 with all the 5.0s tech? The gen V SBCs should be pretty nice.
