wow real insightful there.....let me clarify things a bit...the heads are not direct LS7 heads..built off of a set of LS6 heads but with the same components and porting of the LS7's...cam has the same specs as a Z06 and the intake is a LS7 direct intake
Ok then, try this. They cannot be the same as LS7 heads because LS7 heads have larger valves and a completely different port design. There is no possible way to take an LS6 casting and make it anywhere close to an LS7 design. An LS7 intake also will not fit LS6 heads, LS6 ports are cathedral shaped and LS7 ports are larger and rectangular.

That ported MAF in your sig will work really well with the new LS7 setup. Don't listen to these guys. Port/cut the intake runners to match the LS7 heads and if you cut through a little bit, use some Quick Steel or JB Weld.
Congrats.

wow i must have been the recipiant of some serious BS, some well rehearsed BS i might add, talk to a guy at the track that just came up to us and started askin bout our cars, said he had a buddy who did all of what i just said earlier....but i knew i could count on the world of LS1tech to sort it out for me....LMAO..guess i shouldn't believe everything i hear but these days you just never know...thanks for straighten me out guys...some funny **** right there 
everyone has looked stupid at one point when it comes to cars. with all the new stuff they keep coming out with dont worry about it. it never hurts to ask a question and get an answer (no matter how stupid) but it sure can hurt to **** away alot of money on parts that wont work.

Iirc, the ls7 cam itself wouldn't work in an ls1/6

there'd be more JB weld than there would be cylinder head!
