Transform your vehicle with the ATK-tuned GM 5.3L LH6/LC9 engine, a limited-edition (only 50 units) all-aluminum powerhouse crafted for 2005-2009 GM trucks and SUVs. Boasting 475 HP and 430 lb-ft of torque, this non-DOD/AFM engine features a high-performance COMP Cams camshaft (223/231 @50, .610/.617 lift, 112LSA) and robust cylinder sleeves for superior durability. Paired with the innovative Carbon LS1/LS2/LS6 pTR Intake Manifold, offering tunable 6.5–9” velocity stacks and a carbon fiber plenum for minimal heat soak, this setup maximizes power across the RPM range. Enhanced with Speedway Motors’ aluminum timing cover, two-piece valve covers for concealed LS coils, a 92mm CNC-machined throttle body, V-band cast iron exhaust manifolds for 2002–2012 LS engines, and a sleek All American Billet Silverline Series serpentine kit, this package delivers exceptional value for high-performance LS upgrades or new builds. Designed with a Gen III 24X crankshaft and 1X camshaft trigger system, it’s an easy retrofit for 1997–2006 LS-equipped vehicles, reusing existing sensors, exhausts, and mounts, though a Gen IV rectangular port intake manifold is required. Dyno figures based on 750CFM carburetor, Vic Jr. intake, and 1-7/8” headers; EFI systems enhance power output.
