Well, you're looking at your next project engine in the LC3 4.4L supercharged, 32-valve, DOHC V8! The amazingly efficient(1.65 HP/cubic inch) LC3 takes the small block V8 to the extreme in performance, reliability, and quality. The keys to all of this are the roots-style supercharger,GM's variable valve timing, and 4.4 liters of gentlemanly power.

Simply put, Cadillac's new supercharged Northstar 4.4L V8 is a showcase of advanced engine technology. Cadillac engineers held nothing back when building theexciting new LC3 supercharged V8.
