At the time, the Duramax LBZ lead the field against Powerstroke and Cummins with 360 horsepower and 650 foot-pounds of torque. The LBZ labeled engines have several internal upgrades compared to the LLY including a taller deck height and a lower compression. These changes enable the Duramax LBZ to handle a higher boost level and additional power compared to other diesel engines making it a perfect candidate for Duramax performance upgrades.
