Oh my god!!!

You know it'll fit. Will it fit in the budget?

Imagine a low comp forged piston swap and some form of f/i

Honestly that engine is ******* insane, Its a stock Superstroker package that will idle good, drive around town perfectly, and still have a 36000 mile warranty. I know my next big build will have something to do with this motor.

Wow - great article and a nice find, Adam. That's the first time I've seen the cam duration numbers too. This is going to be a special motor no doubt.

Those heads look like C5R heads

Could be wrong, but they look like ported C5R heads. I believe the C5R has the same 12 degree valve angle, same size valves, yet flows 340cfm as opposed to the claimed 360cfm of the LS7.

Looks like I'll have to just go ahead and sell my car and give up. I ain't going to take lightly to being beat by 500-550rwhp headers/cam z06's.. lol. Especially when they are walking away sprayin a 150-200 shot.

Peace,
Josh

I guess this means the LS7 intake won't work on the rest of the LSx line?
