of course it has nothing to do with all your JH mods

Here is a dyno graph with 2 of our cams in a LS7 C6. The lower power cam is the Nicky6 cam and the higher is our SS3 camshaft. If you have any questions on anything feel free to send me a message or call me.

Was there not a warranty with that 650 package?

Looking forward to your rebuild.

Non transferable to a second owner. Plus I had other stuff done and re-tuned because the Hennessey Tune was shit.

I made over 600rwhp with the prc 285 heads. This was on a resleeved ls2. 454 cubes. A 247/263 113+3 .688 lift cam. It ran strong.

Either PRC or Trick Flow Gen 5 heads... doing Wiseco drop in pistons and a bigger cam. Want to be pushing over 600 HP to the wheels. Any suggestions?

thanks

LS7 sleeves can be replaced with another stock sleeve by the right folks as they are not cast in place - assuming no collateral damage behind the sleeve.

Detonation, even not heard, puts way more stress and cylinder pressure at the wrong time and place that normal compression does. The LS7 gets a bad wrap, but, it's usually tuning issues that kill them.

You should've done a simple Google search on 'Hennessey Performance' prior to buying your Z/28.

And what would that have gotten me? I already knew Hennessey was suspect.... I liked the car, I liked the color of the car... what would a google search done for me? Im not complaining about having to fix my motor.. most LS7's will have to go through this at some point.

Actually, statistically most do not. Many do. Many more do not.

They really don't upgrade the pushrods huh. A tech at Lingenfelter told me that and I was like huh.

Foxrus14 · 06-01-2016, 11:10 PM

Well, I bit the bullet... Doing a rebuild and upgrade.

LS7 Block Sleeved with Darton Sleeves
Trick Flow Gen X 260 Heads
JHR Custom Grind Cam
Wiseco Drop in LS7 Pistons

Already have the MSD Atomic intake

Looking to get about 615 HP 570 TQ to the wheels.

Will update when the project is done.
