LS3 vs L92: What’s the Difference and Which Engine make more power ? LS3 vs L92 Overview Feature LS3 L92 Displacement 6.2L 6.2L Block Aluminum Aluminum Compression Ratio 10.7:1 10.5:1 Horsepower 430–436 HP ~403 HP Key Differences Between LS3 and L92 1. Compression Ratio LS3: 10.7:1 L92: 10.5:1 LS3 has slightly higher compression, which helps produce more power. 2. Cylinder Heads (821 vs 823 Castings) This is one of the most important differences. LS3 Heads: Common casting: 821 Lighter intake valves Improved valvetrain stability L92 Heads: Common casting: 823 Slightly heavier valves Both heads: Rectangle port design Very similar airflow Real difference: LS3 heads (821) use lighter valves → better stability at high RPM Airflow between both heads is nearly the same 3.
