Loud Pedal Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Since building the Camaro, it hardly seems right the the vette is putting down so much less power. I think it's time to remedy that. We'll be yanking the LS7 and going with a 454 LSX. A Procharger F1R will send in some love. More details to come, but we're shooting for close to 1000HP. I'm hoping to have it done in time for Prescott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Poppa Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 But will you be able to drive the car to Vegas for golf outings? How did I know this day would come? Hell yes dood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Ape Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hope to see it there. I really don't know what I would do with all that power though. LS7 fit in Grape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loud Pedal Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 So how fast is the Camaro? And how fast is the Z right now? Oh, quit busin' my balls Tom. I did put a cage in the Camaro, so it will pass tech now. I just need to wait for it to cool off a bit and for me to get up the nerve. I have a lot of money invested in that car, and my drag track time amounts to Friday nights when I was in high school. I am going to keep the LS7 complete with accessories and will likely be putting it up for sale. It has about 15K mi on it and most of you have heard it run. It's a healthy sounding cam.

Hey, just trying to get a baseline to see the differences. I hadn't heard anything other than dyno pulls for either car, so just asking. If you need a driver, I'm sure you could get plenty of volunteers. I can already hear Victor saying " me me pick me " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAMMER Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 With all that new HP you'll be needing some new soft gummy sticky gooooey wide tires. Just keep it between the lines Dave. Best of luck on your new MONSTER. MoooooHaaaHaaaHaaa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Gee, I wonder what an LS7 conversion in a C5 would cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayeagle Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 LS-7 into a C5: Prolly a few hours labor and perhaps a tune to let the computer know it's got more balls now .. ..and .. er .. the cost of the motor .. mini-tubs and 12" rims in the back, an stuff like that Just a guess. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loud Pedal Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 It's definately something we can look into if someone is serious. If it were me, I would forego the dry sump oil system to save some money and headache. We'll see what I'm left with when the swap is complete. We started making a punch list today.
