Just an overpriced money grab using an old name to appeal to the older people.
There are many many many other options for nicer, faster cars, for less money, without a name tacked on for an extra $30k.

Hmmmm, from listening to peoples past experiences, the LS7 is not the best engine for FI. I've heard that since the cylinder walls are thinner this can cause issues.
Just what I've heard. |

Ls7 is fine for moderated boost, just keep it to 700rwhp or so and a good tuner. It won't take 10-12psi for long like an ls3, but that is mostly because of the cubes and good heads, it will make 700rwhp on ~6psi, and 10-11psi would be 850rwhp which then the stock pistons are an issue.
If you want a blown 427 in your Camaro, then just get ~$15k together and do it. Can probably even do it for less than that. $6k or so for a 427 bottom end, and $5-7k for a blower. I much rather goto ADM, LPE, Livernois, LMR, FSP, or pick a shop and just have them build a nice motor/turbo setup (or blower) then pay for a name.

I usually love the aesthetics of anything SLP does, but this one doesn't do it for me. The weird modified rendition of a Yenko stripe along with the wonky lettering font, the hodgepodge of aftermarket, SS, and ZL1 components... and those white lettered tires just look silly IMO. SLP stuff usually has a "factory built" feel to it, but this just doesn't look like something they would put together. It might be quick, but the overall look isn't doing it for me.
