That's cheaper than building an engine that is turbo/supercharger friendly and adding a procharger. Does that come with a PCM, dry sump, etc.?

just 2 random vendors on here. id rather go with a 408 that is not only cheaper, but im sure they produce more than 505hp. you'd still have change left over for a 200 shot wet kit.

you have to buy the oil tank oil lines pcm. I have researched building one and buying the ls7. I would build one that has more power and is cheaper. Unless you just have to have a ls7

Or get a smokin deal on one. :)

The LS7 definitely has a big "coolness" factor which in itself would justify the hefty cost to some. I think there are better avenues to travel in terms of power gains though, as others would agree.

is that your camaro with the ls7

is that your camaro with the ls7

Yes it is. :)

Has anyone seriously modded an ls7? True you can build a higher HP LS1 for less but what about the potential of the LS7? I think this is another one of those LS1 V LT1 kinda things. One can be built cheaper where the other offers more power potential. Just thinking out loud I suppose.

Yes it is. :)wow I'm building one now. I'm in the process of saving$ and buying parts I will use DSE sub frame and rear suspension. A ls based engine ect. Yours looks great. Mine will be orange Crystal pearl with silver star stripes. keep me updated on yours.

Build a huge HP 408 LS1, throw some LS7 badges on the outside, spank everyone around and noone will questions you.

oh ya....never pop the hood...:p

No but I have heard of cam and header LS7s hitting 70 to 100 hp increase over stock.

Sounds like a great car. Be sure to stop by my site and let us know about it: www.Lateral-g.net/forums Unless you're already a member, that is. :cool:

I'm shooting for 610 ~ 615hp with mine. I guess we'll find out when I see what kind of numbers it runs. I'm running a Katech cam and Kooks LS7 headers with 1 7/8 primaries. I started it for the first time (http://www.lateral-g.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=409) about a week and a half ago, can't wait to drive it.

The LS7 still seems expensive and you have to deal with the dry-sump (unless that is one of the selling points for you). For the same price you could build a killer 402/408/418 that would also be boost or nitrous ready.

This is true, no arguement there, but I got a hell of a deal on my LS7, paid about the price of a typical LS2. The dry sump is no biggie. I have less than $500 into the complete setup with adapter, fittings, AN line, tank and breather.
