Someone thinks they GM is killing off the V8. This is the thread. I posted pictures of the LSA in
Petition to keep a Cadillac V8 (http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-forums-lounge-member-introductions/130223-petition-keep-cadillac-v8.html)


I got the pictures from here.

Gotta love the offset throttle body to eliminate the current 90 deg. bend in our intake tracts. Very clever. :thumbsup:

I'm surprised how small the integrated intercooler heat exchanger is. It must be an extremely efficient multi-pass unit. My concern would be the potential for fouling and a reduction in efficiency. I'm not sure where the PCV return is on this car but other superchargers I have experience with have the PCV return connection upstream of the supercharger and intercooler assembly. If there is any blowby of oil through the PCV system it ends up in the intercooler and fouls it.
