Stock.
It`s a 2002 LM7, LS1 Intake with Vette injectors, K&N filter, Gibson Headers, true dual Magnaflows and Nelson Performance tune.
All the rest is stock.
It has a built TH350.

nice looking jeep looks like a lot of fun, are the headers shorty headers? Also what torque converter do you have in it? What did you do for the vss?

what dunes are you at in the videos? Also looked like some paddles on it in a couple takes of the video what size are they?

Didnt check this post lately.
Thank for the compliments !
Dunes are about 2 hr east from Santiago, the capital of Chile.
As stated above, now the Old MB sports a 2007 LY6, I kept the VVT, LS3 intake, 39# injectors, shorty Gibson headers, dual Magnaflows, air aid, and Nelson Tune.
Jeep weights 3300 pounds, so you can imagine how fun is to drive
This is the last video of the first test with the new engine (2 weeks ago)
