And for those that want to do a comparison, here is the outgoing LFX V6:
It is very annoying that GM can't seem to pick a consistent scale to do these dyno charts with

It's amazing what GM is doing with it's V6 direct injected engines.
Going to be interesting if this version is "mod" friendly. The last LFX engine was great but you could not do much with it besides basic bolt on's.

Agreed that the curves don't look right when they are scaled so HP and TQ don't intersect at 5,200 RPM.

Yeah, not sure why they do that for engines where peak HP and TQ are so close to each other. If it was an Indy Car engine, I could understand it.

While do like this engine and the improvements that GM made over the previous LFX, I'm still not sure I'm convinced about those new cylinder heads.
Siamesed exhaust ports? https://youtu.be/D2Gd2IzJaFM?list=PL...A36opSvhJEs1hr I understand 'why' they did it, easier to slap some turbos on there, even though they never mention that in this video. But I can't help but think those heads would flow a whole lot better with some real, individual exhaust ports. On the plus side, it's going to be ridiculously easy to make a header for 'em! If it's even needed. |

I don't know about you all, but I've def noticed how fast this engine warms up. Within 15-20 seconds of starting it, I'll see the temp. needle start to move. Then, a mile down the road, it's nearly completely warm. Crazy.
