I was going to wait to buy an LS7 for my next build, but.... with this happening I decided to pull the trigger now. Figure it can sit in the corner for a bit till it’s needed.
Looks like the LS7 will be replaced with this wet sump version that makes more HP & Torque.
Honest question here guys...for a street car with an owner that prioritizes torque but may not want the added packaging complication of an LSA, is that thing worth the $4,500 upgrade over the Ls3? I’m struggling with that decision...

It's always a balance. There's a lot you can do to an LS3 to gain a bit more Tq. Talk to and engine builder or tuner and see what their thoughts are. Mike Norris Motorsports is who I'd suggest. They do a lot of upgrades and tuning. Mikes a good guy and has been at this a long time.

That’s a good call. Sorry for the hijack...that was a bad one
Connect and cruise never seems like the value play, always the convenience play for dummies like me.
The c8 trans delay etc resulted in the c7 zr1 & lt5 being built as a one year model to placate the hot rod masses while the c8 issues were being fixed.
I believe the l83, lt4 & 5 represent the last in line for now of semi tune able gm engines as the newer upgraded gen motors are locked down encrypted due to liability/reliability management.
Until the aftermarket cracks the new gen code if ever, we for now may have reached peak engine tune.
So here’s investing 102 advice (rip weld) stock up on lt5 front accessory drives 😀
Holleys latest EFI setup includes DI tune ability. This is why we are seeing the GenV engines gain traction now in swaps. Holley is really making a name for itself in electronics lately. Lots of guys making the switch.
