GM's new injection system on DOHC V6 engines ups power significantly
Motor Trend mag is reporting that GM is working on a new fuel system for their V6 DOHC engines that in the case of the 3.6L V6 used in the CTS, STS, LaCrosse, etc. is believed to add 50HP (to 305HP total).

Yeah, its Direct Injection. Its great to see Lexus finally competitive once again in the engine department. With rumored engines coming from BMW(turbocharged engine 330ti,335ti, etc), Nissan(VQ40 which I think is highly unlikely or more powerful VQ35), MB's new engine, and many others coming out, I cant wait to see how the new Lexus V6's holds up to the competitiion.
The only other automaker currently mass producing DI engines for the US is Audi. They have proven to add power, however, not so much fuel economy. Lexus on the other hand is producing powerful engines with outstanding fuel economy.
I'm looking forward to this new engine from GM. I had the opportunity to drive a CTS 3.6L, and it really is a great engine. I give them much credit.
