The Computer would do you no good.. they went from "table based" programming to "math based" programing and there is no way (yet) to reprogram an LS7 ECU..

The aftermarket will have to come up with something

Your paws are greasy? Buy some dang soap!!!

[Ralph LoGrasso]

$11,895, huh? Good to know. The new computer thing scares me a bit, as I don't think any of the LSX ecms will work with the LS7? Sounds like people will need BS3, FAST or?

Well here goes i,m doing it. Now to get a Bigger cam and headers Now to get a order in.

[yody]

interesting that the mark up is $5,000!!!!! Those dealerships are making a ton of money off of 1 engine. And people will have to pay that price if they really want one, because of the limited availability

They are WRONG.. $16,995 is the MSRP and street price will be quite a bit lower..

Straight from the horses mouth..

For competition it's a great motor, and the $12,000 is justified for all the sexy features.

But for a street car, a souped up LS2 is more bang for the buck.
