Reliability (1)

REAL WORLD RELIABILITY


Ilmor knows how to engineer simplicity and reliability. From fewer hoses and clamps to an engine power distribution module (e-PDM), eliminating the need for physical fuses and allowing resets right from the dash, you'll experience unrivaled reliability. A crank-mounted raw water pump on the 6.0L, 5.3L and 6.2L engines eliminates common failure points, allowing longer time (two seasons/125 hours) between routine impeller servicing.

LEVELED UP WITH MORE LITERS


More liters mean more power, and you'll feel the difference in our 380 horsepower 6.0L MPI engine, standard on the NXT, XT, and ProStar models. The XStar S and X models feature a powerful 430 horsepower 6.2L GDI, and can be upgraded to the Ilmor 6.2L Supercharged engine, with 630 horsepower. For those seeking saltwater, the 5.3L GDI has an efficient closed-cooled aluminum block, running 365 horsepower at higher RPMs giving it outstanding top-end performance.
