LS3 is the manual trans 426hp higher compression motor
L99 is the automatic trans 400hp with compression down around 10.1

So, dxy2jbaby, which Camaro do you own? Identifying your car will help future answers to future questions if you have any. Put L-99 or LS-3 in you signature would be helpful. Enjoy your Camaro.
