Engine

• Base Engine: GM / Chevrolet Performance LS9 6.2L Supercharged Crate Engine, PN 19244099, 376 cubic inches.

• Factory rating as previously documented: approximately ~601 hp / ~580 lb-ft in OEM configuration.

• Construction: aluminum block, aluminum heads, factory Eaton TVS LS9 supercharger, forged LS9 rotating

assembly architecture, and dry-sump oiling architecture.

• Configuration as installed: LS9 crate engine with factory “LS9 SUPERCHARGED” supercharger lid, custompolished presentation details, and custom fabricated engine cover.


Supercharger & Pulley System

• Supercharger: OEM LS9 Eaton TVS unit, selected for broad, flat torque delivery and factory-level integration.

• Pulley Upgrade: Lingenfelter pulley upgrade, documented by Petersen; earlier shop documentation identifies

the pulley as a 3.8" overdrive unit.

• Performance effect: approximately +1.4 psi over stock and an estimated installed output of ~630 hp / ~600 lb-ft at

the crank on 91 octane.

• Aluminum cold-air injection and fabricated intake details support airflow into the supercharger assembly.


Camshaft, Valvetrain & Ignition

• Camshaft: Comp Cams solid roller camshaft

• Rocker Arms: T&D Competition rocker arms

• Ignition: MSD ignition system with hidden coil packs, Delco plug wires, and anodized aluminum plug-wire

separators.

• Benefits: increased high-RPM stability, improved breathing under boost, cleaner underhood presentation, and

ignition support for a high-output supercharged LS combination.


Oiling System – Dry Sump

• System Type: Earl’s aluminum dry-sump system with extensive braided stainless steel lines and anodized line

fittings.

• Additional Petersen-listed oiling detail: custom oil pan.

• Benefits: stable oil pressure under acceleration, braking, and cornering; reduced aeration; improved durability

at sustained RPM; and show-grade serviceability.
