LOL!!! LS7 is completly differnt from a ls1. same style motor yes but alot of differenses

Don't get me wrong I would love to have one, but if I'm going to spend a grand why not spend two and have a custom sheetmetal intake made???
If you get a fast id just buy a used 90. BUT you will still get good gains from the ls6 especially since you allready bout a throttle body from it. Only go with the rockers if its something you want but IMO i would just spend the money on roller rockers (1.7 ratio) But like i said its completly up to you

Yeah, I think I'm going to use the money I was going to spend on RR's for my LCA's, SFCs and Panhard... I also need some new rear meats. I'm really going to need them once I get this thing tuned!

sorry bout the bickering....guy was an ***...i stated my opinion and he blasted me for it. i should know better than to do that


i wasn't aware you already had some of the parts towards the LS6. i assumed you were getting them. so i figured i'd throw out the FAST suggestion. i realize the price is high, but when you can gain 15-30hp over the LS6/ported TB combo on a h/c engine...the $1K is worth it to me....especially since you were already spending $3-400 on an LS6 setup.

but i'm glad to see you steered away from the rockers. its money better spent on other things.


oh no....i gave an opinion...and it may vary from the opinion of others that is known to be gospel....i'm gonna get flamed

Please tell me how this is relevant to the lobes on a camshaft vs 1.8 rockers...lobes are lobes and rockers are rockers
