The LS9 is the baddest Production Small Block Engine GM has ever built. I Want to get my hands on one for my Factory Five GTM Super Car. I wonder if it will be made as a complete turnkey crate engine. I dont know if GM can make anymore power out of this engine while keeping with in the EPA's standards. Is this the limit for GM with the samll block chevy? Somehow I seriously doubt it. GM performance, you guy's have been setting and raising the bar for years now. Kudos to you for that.
