Default LS3 swap C5Z, pics and video

Hi guys
This is my first engine build/swap, only done cam swaps and stuff before. It took the better part of 6 months to build and did most of my research on here... For tuning I used HP Tuners, SD OL.

Let me know what you guys think and if you have any questions
Thanks
