Quick question from Newbie
I am new at this SC stuff. I don't understand why the L99 makes less power than the LS3 when supercharged. Is the AFM still active? I thought the engines were the same except for the AFM.
Thanks Jim |

That's why so many guys doing LS3 conversions that own L99 to be closer playing field??

Yes, I see that
Thanks for the information.
I believe what you guys are telling me, but why? Why does the LS3 make more power? Jim |

That being said, autos rock with power adders.
