Default price posted on ls7 crate incorrect

supposedly, the price posted of 12995 by SDPC was incorrect because it was based on an incorrect MSRP (of like 15999 i think). New price shouldnt be that much more though

I'm wondering the same thing jrp. Kris is pretty good at the priceing part. He's the one buying/selling them. So, I believe his pricing is good. He would have come on here and made a correction if it wasn't.

So, I'm with jrp on this one.

just found out the source is our own Steve. it'll be interesting to see who's right, i'd think kris because his information is more current then steve's unless he's been in contact with GM since kris's post.

I cant wait till they come out. I heard that kris can also just get the blocks/heads/intakes, which would be sweet. then I could be a low compression turbo motor and use an after market engine management system to tie it all in.

LS2, 1 and 6 use table based ECMs..

LS7 uses MATH based ECM's.. You must either use an LS7 ECU (have no idea how to program it) or wait for an aftermarket solution.. who knows.. maybe FAST XFI will work on the LS7 using Edist..

Sorry guys, our price has gone up a little. GM did come back on there original price, and raised it. $13,395.00 is our new price, and from what I have been told it should not go up again. Not saying it won't (you never realy know until the parts hit), but it shouldn't. We try to give solid prices as much as we can, but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way. Our parts mgr is in Detroit as we speek with all the guys from GMPP, so it will be interesting to see what he comes back with
