GM PERFORMANCE PARTS OFFERS 'PLUG-AND-PLAY' LS2/LS3/LS7 CONTROLLERS FOR EASY 'LS' CRATE ENGINE OPERATION

GRAND BLANC, Mich. – Developed to take the guesswork out of an “LS” engine swap, GM Performance Parts (GMPP) offers new “plug-and-play” controller kits for LS2, LS3 and LS7 crate engines. The controller kits will be available in early 2008 and carry the following part numbers:

• LS2 – 19166568
• LS3 – 19201861
• LS7 – 19166567

Each stand-alone system enables the user to simply plug in the factory-type harness connections into the new controller and start the engine – no recalibration or tuning is required. The controller is based on an O.E. unit and features a custom calibration that oversees the operation of GM’s latest electronic throttle control, EFI and ignition systems for each crate engine family.

Additional features include:

• Fully populated O.E.M.-type fuse/relay center, with additional fuse and relay positions for additional electrical system add-ons
• A 12-wire bulkhead includes useful outputs for features such as tach signal, vehicle speed signal, oil pressure sensor, malfunction indicator light, etc.; a mating connector is included to allow the outputs to be integrated without cutting into the harness
• Cooling fan control
• ECM-controlled fuel pump
• Compatible with LS-type alternators
• Complete, O.E.M.-type wiring harness
• Oxygen and mass airflow sensors
• Compatible accelerator pedal (for electronic throttle applications)

The controller kits work with LSX-based engines that use LS2/LS3/LS7 air/fuel components. Best of all, the new controllers are adaptable to any vehicle fitted with one of the previously mentioned engines – from late model Corvettes, GTOs and F-cars to vintage muscle cars, street rods and off-road vehicles.

GM Performance Parts crate engines undergo a 50-hour, full-throttle engine dynamometer validation, requiring the engines perform from peak horsepower to peak torque. GMPP also installs crate engines in its own engineering vehicles for ongoing testing and continuous improvement. This commitment to quality and durability allows General Motors to back GM Performance Parts crate engines with a 24-month / 50,000-mile warranty (whichever occurs first). All GM Performance Parts components carry a 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty.

Enthusiasts who crave the latest technology, maximum horsepower and the expertise and confidence backed by GM can purchase GMPP crate engines, blocks, heads and components from GMPP Authorized Center dealers or any other GM dealership nationwide.
