Cost = qty (1) arm + qty (1) leg

I doubt if they offer it, honestly. Just put a blower on an LS3 and save some coin.

The engine will be produced at the Wixom Performance Build Center in Wixom, MIchigan..the same facility that builds the LS7. They will be hand built just like the LS7... the techs name who built it will be on a plate on the top of the valve cover just like the LS7..If there is a market for it GM will sell it..you can buy a LS7 what would make you think that you could not buy a LS9...if you want to SC a LS3 you will need to put lower compression forged pistons in the motor to make it worth doing..no need to do it unless you can turn up the boost..the LS9 come in at 10 psi about or .76 bar..the motor is begging to be boosted to a higher level..the horse power rating for the LS9 will come out in March..should be very interesting to see what it will produce.

That blower looks like it might squeeze under the cowl of an f-body

the A2W setup looks like it would be the hardest part to adapt the supercharger to a non LS9 motor

Default Better To Build

It Would Be Better To Build A Lsx 427 For $13,000
