GM Gen 3 and Gen 4 LS engines are capable of BIG power due to the vast selection of OEM and aftermarket parts & electronics. They are also widely available and share a lot of common traits, making many of their parts interchangeable. However, not knowing some subtle differences can propel you down a more expensive, time consuming road. So, first things first- Let’s identify EXACTLY what LS engine you have by answering a few basic questions:

Now that you have identified your power plant, the good news is that AMP EFI offers TWO powerful, affordable plug & play solutions for GM LS Gen 3 (24x) & Gen 4 (58x) engines with a simple drop on harness for either MS3Pro EVO or MS3Pro ULTIMATE ECU’s. Both are well equipped for controlling these engines, including the stock VVT (variable valve timing) on equipped Gen 4’s, as well as optional 4L60E/4L80E transmission control if you won’t be running a powerglide. Choosing between EVO and ULTIMATE essentially come down to two basic questions:
- Will you be running hi or low impedance fuel injectors? What does this mean? MS3Pro ULTIMATE will control both, while MS3Pro EVO will only control the more common high impedance injectors.
- Beyond the standard requirements to run your LS engine, what additional inputs (information coming into the ECU from things like sensors & switches) & outputs (commands from the ECU to control solenoids/ relays/ valves/ additional equipment) do you need? If you’re not sure, contact our Tech Team and tell us more about your combo and horsepower goals- we can help.
