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...
I saw that, nice rebate for a T56 after buying the LT5 crate but right now, unless I can get a GM Performance Dealer interested in price matching, I can get T56 more than $250 lower from other vendors. I was going to get the cruise and connect to get the rebate but same thing, I can do better and pick the parts I want from other vendors.
I don't think there's any rebate for just buying the LT5 is there?

I had to go back and look. Appears I was looking at the connect and cruise, missing that detail. Sorry about that. But... I agree on sourcing exactly what you want from other vendors.

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.
