Small engine, big power!!! (LC3) I found this on the wikipedia site:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Premium_V_engine Scroll down 'till you see the LC3 title.
What do you guys think about those engines?
Would they be good for a conversion?
Does anyone make performance parts for them?
Here's what the article says in case that you don't want to click the link:
Supercharged LC3
A 4.4 L (4371 cc/266 in³) supercharged Northstar is used in the 2006 Cadillac STS-V and Cadillac XLR-V. The bore was reduced for increased strength and improved head gasket sealing. Variable valve timing is used on both the intake and exhaust sides. The STS-V engine produces 469 hp (350 kW) at 6400 rpm and 439 ft·lbf (595 N·m) at 3900 rpm with 9.0:1 compression and the XLR-V engine produces 443 hp (330 kW) at 6400 rpm and 414 ft·lbf (561 N·m) at 3900 rpm .
If my plan was keeping my LS2 stock, I would prefer a LC3. That's my newbie opinion.
