LS7 news…

[Jeff_in_Atl]

I was talking to my engine building neighbor last night and he said they built a LS7 engine last week. They ported the heads and got 380 cfm from each cylinder. They used a ~.600 lift cam and got 680 horses at the rear wheels. WOW! He said those heads are amazing.

and your point is..............?

[Dave-S]

Ken.........your too old for that kind of horsepower.

Hell yea. Btw, did they tune it? If so, what did they use?

I went to a superbowl party and took a couple of Mustang guys out for a spin. One had an LS1 GTO. They loved it.

They guy next door to their shop has a chassis dyno. I can't remember who makes it but it's not a Mustang Dyno whatever that is. I know he is a computer geek so I assume the answer is yes to get that number out of it. I can ask him later. I knew this would get a rise out of you.

Why would you think that?

Can you please get more info? Cam specs, air intake, header info. Thanks.

I just talked to my neighbor. He built the motor. There are a lot of specifics to it so I just got his number and you can call him. He said they build motor and send them all over the US so he can build any motor you want including your twin turbo project. A lot of the engine parts are custom built by the owner of the car. He owns some Corvette place here in Atlanta. The funny thing is I may know him from high school but I'm not sure. You can get his number from David too. He didn't have it at home. Anyway the cam was a .690 lift .256@.050 solid roller cam. He said they made like 10 cams for it and he wasn't sure which cam was in it when they pulled the 680hp number. The pistons were 11.75:1. The headers were custom too. I kind of got the feeling he was developing parts to sell at his business.

My neighbors phone number at work is 770-778-1515. The place he works at is AAM Racing engines. Ask for David. Tell him you are friends with me. I gave him your name so he will know who you are. He is kind of quiet so you have to ask lots of questions. LOL. Sounds like you might need to come to Atlanta soon.

Oh I see. I must have missed it in previous posts. I didn't realize he built it from a bare block. I was thinking he started with either a C6Z06 or he bought an LS7 crate motor. I may give him a buzz in a few days. I'm still buried under my C5Z but am keeping my eyes open to the new and upcoming mods that are happening on these new Z06s. I'm going to have to play with mine once the TT project and the S10 projects are complete.

Thanks for the info.

Well I assumed it was built out of a Z06 engine and it may have been. I don't know. The guy's name who was having it built is named Reese. He is around our age.

Very cool stuff. That motor has so much potential. I just got back in from working on the TT car. Man, I'm beat.

More info on the LS7. It was pulled from a 2006 ZO6 Vette and built. It was not a crate motor or built from a bare block.

The guy who had it built is named Reese Cox and owns MTI Racing. Here is their web site. http://www.mtiracing.com/
