L92: Build #2 2005 GTO A4 dd
LS7 block 427ci, WCCH ported L92's, ported L76, 22x/23x cc, factory TC, 11:1cr, 1 3/4 LT's, factory catback.
I'm going for a stealth daily driver the wife won't be embarrased driving when her goofy co-workers have to ride along.

If your going with the ls7 block then use the ls7 heads and intake. Other wise use the L92 block and save yourself the money. The LS7 block has the 4.125 bore and allows for the LS7 head.

I've had the LS7 block sitting in the garage for the last 18 month's, it's getting built

I'm running the LS7 topend in my C5, the L92 parts are from a previous build, they are ported and paid for and just collecting dust.

This is not a max effort build, it's a combination of leftover previously used parts from other projects. I know the LS7 heads/intake are better, but the small cam/stock TC does'nt justify the greater expense to aquire and build another LS7 topend. It's just another experiment to see what the L92's do with a very small sleeper cam.

Was speced for an L92 setup. New in the box. $370 plus shipping.

Erik Koenig HKE spec'ed it. Was for an L92 smaller cubed engine than what your going with but its definately in your range. Maybe a little small for you but not really I woudnt think for what you want to do and your intake. Lift is .581 .595 My guess is it would be pretty good low and mid range power with a decent top end not going to break records but it was spec'ed for top end performance either. Just tossing it out there. Its a good cam for the L92's and smaller cubed engines but would be decent in your application as well. Maybe a little small for most peoples taste on here. But the application is the key to it. All useable power.

Thanks, but that cam does'nt give me anything over the cam I've already spec'd.

Actually, for your combination, the L76/LS3 intake is better. I dyno tested both the LS7 intake and the L76 manifold on a L92 head 454 and the L76 manifold makes significantly more torque down low because of it's longer runner. Since you are using a small cam and stock converter, I think you will find the L76 manifold performs VERY well in the real world. The LS7 manifold really shines above 5000 RPM and 600 fwhp.

So you used a l76 intake on a ls7 head? How did you do that?
