@frostbytey ls7 all motor buddy makin around 480ish at the wheels Ls9 is blown makin 600 ish at wheels id prefer ls7 bigger handles more and its cheaper when u add ur blower on it
@frostbytey have you taken this car to the track yet? If so what kind of 1/4 mile times have you gotten from it? And what size tires are you running? Thanks in advance Beautiful camaro.
@sparkalanio yea the ls7 is a great engine 500 hundred horses i dont no why they didnt add this on the zr1 with turbos it would have destroyed the road it probaly be doin 0 to 60 in 3 seconds flat
The cylinder wall in the ls7 are way to thin to handle boost, so they decided to go with the lsa or ls3 with a super charger to make the big poneys. If the ls7 could take boost then it would be awsome, but its just not possable.
i don't post often can you pm on ls1tech. my sn is airforcemanss. im building my car up for this. disspointing numbers unless its just a drop in ls7 w/ not much work. i love the car and build though GL w/ it.
Didn't know at the time. The smoke at the end of the run was the first clue. I left the shop and within 10 miles the car was overheatng and had swapped the oil and water....
@extinct00ss Was it a crate motor, or did it come straight from a Corvette? How many miles were on it at that point? Thats rather strange to crack a sleeve. But they're quite thin, aren't they?
Yeah, the crate motor is about that much, but mine is a little different. I have a little more in mine, but it is a little stronger also. They are beast's even stock though..
I am working on the same project for my 2002 Firehawk My ?? for you is where did you mount the LS7 dry oil sump cannister,and will the SLP headers work on the LS7?
The headers will work. Any LS style headers will bolt right up. I would suggest investing in some larger primary headers though. I have 1 7/8 Kooks and they are a great piece. My engine is actually a wet sump system. I just bolted my ls1 oil pan up and had a hole drilled in the block for the dipstick.
did the ls7 fit in alright? i'm thinking of swappin out my engine for the ls7 in my 97 SS in a few years and wanted to know if it'd need a front end extension or not. i know it's already a bit cramped in there stock and everything and i'm hoping to supercharge it xD
Very true, however for a 402 to make the same rwhp, it would have a much larger cam and not be nearly as "docile" on the street. Don't get me wrong, this one sounds like it will eat your children, but it will pull 1300 rpm in 6th gear no problem, and it has a grand total of 20 minutes in the tune...
no doubt. if you can afford it then there is no replacement for displacement lol. bad ass car and in no way am i knocking your car, im just a poor college kid with big n/a hp dreams.
what size tires are on the ass end?

sleeves are what line the inside of the cylinders in the block. Cracked sleeve means that compression will leak in that cylinder.

a ls2 402 with a nice set of heads and a cam would put out similar numbers and be way cheaper then buying a crate ls7.

I think the LS7 heads and all the little 3rd party parts are what he's after.
Far superior to a mass produced LS2 or even a crated stroker.
