Those are sick numbers from a cam and exhaust swap. I am sure it still drives very well to boot.

I have more of a LS7 question not directed specificaly at this combo but it applies. Why do the LS7's not put down much tq for the hp numbers they put down? I am guessing the size and design of the heads intake runner and weak exhaust flow is the main culprit. An LS1,2,3 with that hp number and same size motor would make 520-540rwtq. Can any one shed some light on this for me?

Okay. I bet it feel good in your FRC which is a perfect example of what I am talking about though.

Yeah, I know. It's just annoying that they START with 50rwhp more than I'm making.

Could always go the 'budget' route and buy an '08 LS3 coupe and do the same mods (or throw a supercharger on it) with the money you save on the monthly payment

Don't think I haven't thought about it.

Good results,

I think soon we will start seeing 600+whp/500wtq NA LS7s once people start getting more time testing different combos with these engines.
