The main reason for going to an LS7 was to take advantage of the excellent flowing heads. There isn't much power increase from the ci gain: 418 to 427 (or 430 as it turned out). The LS7 gains are predominately from the volumetric effeciency of the heads, add to that the gain from an intake swap and you get serious NA power. The Camaro is a heavy platform, so any power gains are welcome.
So how did it come out?
Not too shabby!
