I would never go boosted ls7, those walls are so thin for 100more hp just do heads and cam it’s around the same price and you fix the valve dropping issue
Dang! I said it before and I'll say it again, those heads need to be fixed. Those ls7's drop valves completely stock, let alone being forced induction. Whoever wins this vette, don't rip it until you fix the heads!
@@supersevenn no, it's not when idiots are bouncing off the limiter. It's happened to A LOT of LOW mileage ls7's that aren't beaten. I've seen multiple videos of valves dropping at 60mph in 6th gear with cruise control on.
First thing I did when I seen the give away was try to verify it’s had the valves done, but it’s not listed anywhere. You’re gonna need the 20k cash with it for when it drops a valve and wrecks the motor.
The best part about the c6 z06 is the naturally aspirated engine. Superchargers are awesome, but I think this was a bad move. You could easily make 550+whp with a “budget friendly” heads and cam package.
Cant make 600+ na and still be on pump gas. I made 680 on e85 on my stock motor c6 drove great and sold it. Still on the streets driving as we speak with new owner.
But it won’t be CA legal, which is a huge part for this giveaway. Especially since they’re a shop in CA building a car they can get a huge fine for breaking CARB rules. Way she goes.
********** Every performance shop that knows LS7s engines push for the cam upgrade so they can replace the values so the customer doesn't have a destroyed engine******** I really hope these guys read the comments. 🤞

You can’t go over 700 whp with the stock pistions and you can get close to that with a good heads and cam intake package and it will be faster power for power than the boosted set up. You also need to to replace the valve stem seats or the valves will drop destroying the engine .

As someone like me who owns a 2008 Zo6 i’ve got probably 134,000 miles on it and the manual transmission that ate itself up after the nylon that holds the bearings together inside the transmission let go and let the bearings loose inside last second and fourth gear not good don’t know why GM uses nylon to hold the bearings together myself but anyway I love my car damn fast specially on straightaways plan on keeping it After I get the transmission and Transaxle assembly fixed. So everybody with a manual transmission should check them to make sure those nylon bearings are holding up somewhere down the road just saying. my opinion only
Torque spec for the harmonic balancer is 250 ft/lbs lol. I just replaced my wobbly one with a Summit balancer. Good call pinning it. Also, you REALLY need to fix those heads. Supercharger with the stock ls7 valve train is a guaranteed failure.
