Default Newb w/ LS3 Genesis

Well, not new new, but this is my official hello. Enamored with LS motors, I almost bought a 2014 Camaro SS 1LE, but after a test drive, I decided to LS swap my Genesis instead (previously a 3.8 v6 w/ ZF auto). Knowing what I know now, I would've just purchased a ZL1 lol. Heres a quick vid of the LS3 Genesis idling.


For those interested, here is a thread on my work on the build.

Super sleeper! Seen one here in Michigan a few years ago getting my car dynotuned there was an LS2 swapped Genesis there. It had LS2 badges, I don't like the badges! Why advertise to everyone whats under the hood? That's kinda the point of swapping a car not known to be fast!

If you can hear the cam chopping from several cars away, whats the point in hiding whats under the hood? Me personally, I didn't spend all that time and money to not proudly let people know theres American muscle under the hood.

But it is nice to FINALLY be respected on the road haha

Default Build sheet

What is the price range on this swap I was thinking of doing it myself. Can’t really find any good build sheets for pricing
