If I am right, and someone correct me if I'm not .. but the Hummer's didn't come out til 02. In 92 GM decided they didn't need to put EGR's on the engines, and this engine has the EGR valve, so it's pre-02 going by this.

BTW .. here's the link

Not to mention he wants WAAAYYYY to much for that thing.

What does the LQ9 have that the LQ4 doesn't that gives it the extra 45HP of "umph"?

Can you guys explain "compression" to me if you don't mind? How does this affect FI choices and what type of octane to use?
Thanks
