Here is a pic of the new LT4/L88 supercharged GEN 5 engine. There are 2 new engines on the way, a 600hp and 700hp version. Sort of like the 556hp GEN 4 LSA in the Cadillac CTS-V and the Camaro ZL1 and the C6 ZR1 Vette/638hp GEN 4 LS9.
The GEN 5 LT1 Stingray crate engine is available complete in both a dry sump and wet sump version. Forged crank/rods/pistons on a base V8 engine.
460hp@ 6000rpm/465 lb/ft torque@4600rpm
p/n 12657236 Gets you a wet sump complete engine
p/n 12657246 Gets you a complete dry sump version.
Cost is $10,700, less expensive than the 427cid LS7 and out torques LS7 until 4000rpm using 376 cubes, LT1 is with 5 lb/ft of LS7 at its torque peak. 90 percent of peak torque available from 3,000 rpm to 5,500 rpm. Has more power density at 74hp/liter than LS3 and LS7.
Over 10,000,000 hours of computer ECU usage on these GEN 5 engines, mostly in the cylinder heads. Direct injection and forced induction are a match made in heaven. The injected fuel is used to cool the incomming air, which allows for more static compression, or boost.
The good old days are here.
