a race-proven camshaft helps build huge power<br />
in this carbureted <strong>com</strong>bo!<br />
By <strong>com</strong>bining trad<strong>it</strong>ional carbureted aspiration w<strong>it</strong>h the high-tech attributes<br />
of the LS platform, we’ve developed the ultimate modern engine for your<br />
vintage car or truck—or race car. It’s the LS376/515!<br />
W<strong>it</strong>h the LS3 engine as <strong>it</strong>s foundation, the LS376/515 crate engine uses<br />
the regular-production bottom end, including an aluminum block w<strong>it</strong>h<br />
six-bolt cross-bolted main caps, a Corvette oil pan and LS3 cylinder heads<br />
w<strong>it</strong>h high-flow, rectangular-port intake passages. To that, we swap the<br />
fuel injection system for a high-rise intake manifold of our own design, a<br />
770-cfm carburetor (sold separately) and our race-tested ASA Hot Cam,<br />
P/N 12480110.<br />
The new <strong>com</strong>bination is worth 515 horsepower at a stellar 6500 rpm and<br />
469 lb-ft of grin-inducing torque at 5000 rpm. Compared to the regular-production<br />
LS3 and even our LS3-based LS376/480 crate engine, the ASA Hot<br />
Cam gives this <strong>com</strong>bination much more camshaft duration to hold open<br />
the valves longer. It’s a horsepower-building camshaft designed for the<br />
wide-open, high-rpm world of circle track racing and <strong>it</strong> means big power<br />
for this great crate engine—whether <strong>it</strong>’s used on the street or track.<br />
