    LS9 is only in the ZR1 and its dry sump, the CTS-V and ZL1 are LSA so u might have to have one converted to wet sump.

    Not really. It's definitely different and the LS9 comes with the ego booster lol

    LSA has a 1900 TVS vs LS9 2300 TVS. Also less boost and i think theres a minor diff in valve material and head design and diff cam. Still cool but LS9 sounds way better than LSA.

    I thought the LS9 has the full-fledged 2300 TVS?

    LS9 is also a forged piston motor and the LSA isnt. Put the LSA wet oil pump and oil pan on.
