I had to make the same choice and chose the LS7.

I swapped in a Katech Torquer cam and am using ATS's headers. Katech says that they dyno'd this combo and got 595hp, 575 tq. I haven't got the car on a chassis dyno yet but hope to soon. I will post the results when I do.

BTW, its a blast to drive!!

P.S. I love your car.

Definitely a LS7 if budget permits. You can throw a cam in there down the line and then no built LS2 will be able to touch it. The LS2 does seem like a bargain though since it can be had for $6000 with transmission, PCM and harness. A LS7 setup is easily triple that price, but then it will be brand new.
