Got my LS3 427 today!!
Yea man I'm loving it. It's like a different car now. The torque is off the chain! The car pulls rediculuosly hard.
Like John said, the prices will be different based what you want. The motor came as a complete build. Accessories, belts, header gaskets, spark plugs, etc. Since my car already had ECM/PCM, I didnt have to get one. This is all plug and play application. Trust me, it works. Connections were a breeze. My motor(gen IV small block LS3) came with the 24 tooth reluctor wheel. So, I also didnt have to get a 58 to 24 conversion module. Hell, the engine/tranny swap was easy compared to the other small issues we kept running into. But, we solved it. For those of you that want to go this route or even something a little different: u might as well go ahead and probably upgrade the fuel system too. I'm running twin fuel pumps in my car. I got it from Lonnies Performance.

Horsepower costs, plain and simple. I have a Warhawk 427 with LS7 topend and spent way too much!!
Ceta, I know your lovin it. It will even get better as the motor loosens a bit. Won't be able to keep the tires from breaking loose in any gear. HAHA!
Just mega fun!
The guy in the other lane will be wondering what the hell did I run into?

I know it's an understatement but my soul tells me different. When I was paying for all this stuff to make it all come as one, forking that money over hurt my soul. But oh well, it's worth it. I like the way how my car idles. It sounds so so good. I'm having fun driving it. I'm looking to crush anything, but not really. People already trying me. But like I said, this thing pulls hard and the torque is ungodly.

Congrats again and keep it between the lines!

Glad to assist in your decision. I have a good setup. A stroker motor putting down over 500rwhp with no FI or power adder got my attention real quick. Yea I could of stroked my original LS1 and then slap a SC on it. But, to do all that would put me well over what I paid for the LS3 427. Also, the power ratings might be same or maybe a little bit higher depending on how much boost you running with SC on LS1. Now, I'm not knocking those that run SCs on their LS1s. I mean that's cool to have a SC. Hell, I wanted one bad. I decided that getting a bigger cubed motor was the way to go. Also, I wanted to start with a clean sheet of music by getting a brand new custom build crate motor. It comes with the warranty on the LS3 427 versus just a warranty on the SC.
Glad to see Vengeance took great care of the BEAST and got it running straight for you. Vengeance Racing is Very good at what they do.
Enjoy that car man, It's Very nicely modded and sounds like a Blast. If it pulls as hard as it should, It's GOT TO BE FUN!
Take Care, and I'm subscribing for track results...

Yea I feel you guys and I'm trying to find a time to make it to the track. When I do it, I be sure to have a tow trailer just in case my rearend decides to call it quits. Also, I believe if I run too fast, they might tell me I can't run til I get the required equipment. With my LS1, I ran 12.5 and they told me to wear a helmet. But, we will see. I really don't know what times this car runs. I can say it's fun as hell to drive.

They kicked me off the track with my 346 LS1 cuz I ran 11.3. Next time I'm at the track it'll be with a whole lot more cubes...and a cage. I don't want to get banned for good. Have fun with your ride. No highway speed burnouts til you get the hang of it lol.
All true, and hell, you can always put a power adder on this, too lol.
