2010-2011 V6 models have the LLT engine, starting in 2012 they switched to the LFX.

Yessir...cool is a good thing. You picked up that power when you drove off the lot that a lot of other V6ers are having to buy parts to make.

There are some definite advantages. But you can't polish or paint your intake manifold like the LLTers can....yet.

cold air intake, exhaust, and ported throttle body would be my must haves for the LFX.

If you don't mind jeopardizing your warranty, the tunes for LFX give it some very nice power gains.
