i just went to the parts classifieds on here and searched "ls7" lol.

the funny thing about that motor is that i have the same exact ls7 cam sitting in my basement brand new. but i will be tearing it down for higher compression pistons and some other goodies. i can't bring myself to get rid of all that sexy titanium.

Have you considered addressing the ls7 rocker arm needle bearing issues or the exhaust valve issues?

I have a few random liners I use with people.

What I just did with you with people who are giving me crap

When people are being pansies I tell them: "You are softer than baby **** right now!"

Whenever I'm wrong: "Ok, I'm just going to go **** myself."

Whenever somebody (mostly women) burp: "Wanna make out?"

PDA couple: "Can I record?"

I like to make situations equally as awkward for people as they are for me


So back on topic, ship that V to Iowa, I'll make sure she drives well, post a couple races on here, and then you can ship it to your location. Deal?

2SSARME, do you have issues with your paint?

I've read a few posts where guys are having problems with the cheap Obama eco friendly paint used on the 10-11 Camaro and apparently they revised it in 2012. Is this true?

Issues of paint chipping easily and being very thin

Whats the average 2013 5.0 dyno at? 340rwhp/351rwtq. I figured TTP dyno read low, I just wanted to see whats the average difference.

I haven't heard the rockers having a issue. The valve problem some have had seems to be premature wear of the guide from what I gather. The race team I used to work for used stock valves in their ls7 w/o issue, and that was a road racing endurance engine(ALMS GT car).

Reusing them was not worth the risk IMO, that's why I went ss exhaust valves on my new setup. The guides are worn on almost everyone's heads who sends theirs in

Depends where you go. But a properly calibrated dyno jet (like the one i use). The make in the 360s for sticks and 350s for autos. Anytime you see one make in the 380s stock... no its not a freak... the dyno is just happy.

340, you'd consider the dyno a bit stingy?

True. The front bumper paint is a piece of ******* ****. It chips. Let me re phrase now that i think about it. The whole car paint is a piece of ****. It's probably one of the worst paint jobs I have ever seen when thinking about durability. The paint on the srt10, which is 2006 AND has 10,000 more miles than the 5th gen, is in better shape.

yes. Ultimately all the cars are the same. They all make the same power. No such things as freaks
