Chevrolet Performance LS3 Crate Engine with Hot Cam – 6.2L, 495 HP, LS376/480
Product Description
Turn Up the Heat with the LS376/480 Crate Engine
When 430 horsepower isn’t enough, Chevrolet Performance ups the ante with the LS376/480. This 6.2L LS3 Crate Engine is equipped with the racing-inspired Hot Cam, delivering a jaw-dropping 495 horsepower and 473 lb.-ft. of torque. That’s a 14% boost in performance from a single camshaft upgrade!
The secret to this power surge is the Hot Cam’s .525-inch lift on both the intake and exhaust sides, paired with 219°/228° duration specs. This combo keeps the valves open longer, drawing in more air and making the most of the L92-style rectangular-port heads. The result? A wider powerband, thrilling top-end performance, and a soundtrack that’ll turn heads at every stoplight.
