Wichita here! Theres just Wichita Dyno that i know of here. I do all my tuning in Lincoln, NE. Dynosport there (DAN) really knows LS based stuff. "The Shop" is also a very good speed shop there if you want to make the drive.

Just recieved the block (LS7). Need to have some machine work done. Still cant make up my mind on the heads. So it is probably going to be this winter. Still need to find a tuner or some guidance.

How hard is it to swap in the LS7, and do you have to worry about all the other parts breaking with the additional horsepower, like the drivetrain? That may be a cheaoer way to get Z06 performance and power out of an older C5 Vette... Hmmmm?

Not meaning to hijack thread here, but I just emailed Chris at WD about his services upon my return. Looking forward to seeing what they can due to help me out, heard them mentioned here and there. Hopefully I can come back and do a post on how good they are.
