Why this information is different

Oztrack’s guides are based on work completed in our Penrith workshop rather than rewritten product descriptions.

We combine dyno tuning, engine rebuilding, cylinder-head preparation and engine machining. This helps us assess the complete combination rather than looking at one part alone.

Our team has extensive circuit-racing experience. Dan was an Australian Champion in his class, and Jono has worked with V8 Supercar teams. Oztrack also sponsored the Motorsport Australia Super TT category in 2026.

Evidence behind the guides

What our information uses

  • Real customer vehicles
  • Measured dyno power and torque
  • Known engine and transmission combinations

About this resource

Oztrack LS Performance Hub

Is this an automated AI advice service?
No. This is a structured technical library written from Oztrack workshop experience, real dyno data and completed customer work.
Can this information replace inspecting my vehicle?
No two modified vehicles are identical. The guides can help you understand the options, but final advice should consider your vehicle, engine condition and complete combination.
Will more LS questions be added?
Yes. New pages will cover camshaft selection, power results, engine rebuilding, tuning, common faults and model-specific questions.
Can I suggest a question?
Yes. Email Oztrack with your vehicle details and the question you would like answered.
