Where did you get the intercoolers? How much air can they flow? Did you go with a d1 or f1? Why not try and route twin turbos?

This is one hell of a build!

P1SC1. Not sure Rodger found those. TT? WOW! We're having a hard enough time with the SC plumbing!

P1SC? Is that enough blower for a 427? I can't wait to hear this car. How big of a cam are you going to run?

Stock internals.........

Finished mounting the intercoolers. Now all that is left is to finish the plumbing and we should be done with the supercharger system.



Exhaust system is pretty much routed. Just need to finish running it out the back and finish weld all the fittings.

Muffler placement




We're going to wrap the pipes with heat shield as they go around the tank.

OH NO, You will be pulling it.
Build it now, I am sure you can afford it, LOL !!!!!!!!!!

Why go throught this whole build and do a stock internal LS7? They dont have a good track record stock with boost !

LOVE THE CAR BTW !!!!!!!!!! Cant wait till its done.

Procharger is telling us that there should be no issues as long as we don't get too crazy with the boost!

I know this sounds crazy but I've even contemplated pulling the LS7 and running a boosted LS3!(I know, I'm out of my mind!)

Engine Bay Gusset



I was thinking of leaving it like that but Rodger would like to add a solid sheetmetal piece that will clear the hinge. Wadda ya think?

you could probably run a pretty seriously pumped up LS3 for the cost of that LS7... but then again, maybe with all the trouble you'd have to go through to arrange/make the swap it wouldnt be worth it.

for what its worth, a cammed LS7 sounds pretty amazing.
