The 6.2-liter LT1 Small Block. Yes, LT1.



Direct injection system hidden under the intake manifold. Injector flow rate is 22.0cc/s@10MPa, up to 2,175psi (15MPa). 65-volt fuel injector controller. Highest flowing pump on the market and it is driven off of the camshaft with a unique lifter system.



Intake and exhaust valves have been swapped from the Gen4 design to allow for maximum power and a central plug design.



AFM (Active Fuel Management) lifter...
CVVT camshaft...
Fuel injection cam follower...



ll aluminum Lt1 block.
319 precision cast.
Cast-in-place liner, optimized for windage, new water jackets, M12 head bolts (vs. M11 on the Gen4). Nodular Iron main caps.



Gen5 LT1 vs. LS3 (6.2 vs. 6.2)



The LT1 over the years.

Probably with a 128bit encryption like the Mopars. Pain to get through.

This will give a whole new meaning to the "LT1 vs LS1" threads.

With di and 12:1cr youll get monster power from a simple cam swap qnd headers. I gotta start saving up for when someone totals the first new LT1 car and junkyards the motor. Lol

This is great and all but I thought DI makes tuning a PITA.
