Thanks - and Rock On!
Eaglei, I had a couple issues that were fixed under warranty, like the roof separation awhile back. But the LS7 runs great and has never had any issues.

Hey Fred, Nice to hear your LS7 has served you well. Hope it gives you many more miles and smiles. And hope Mr. Jones sees your posting too!

Default build your own?

Did any of you guys get to build your own? I just watched the episodes on youtube where they showed it as an option. I wish my name was on my LS7...

Here is my plate, 2006 with 47K miles, bone stock and running strong!

Default Shoutout to John Ross

hey John Ross, thought you might like to know that one of your LS7 engines landed in my 2013 Corvette 427 convertible. Car runs great.
(By the way, when you're down Virginia way, would you help me install a nice set of twin turbos?) Just kidding. Thanks for doing a great job on my LS7. 7500 miles and it's just getting broken in. Love the car.

Fairly new owner of a 2011 Cyber Z06 2LZ with ultimate performance package w/ carbon fiber package. John A. Ross built the engine. Can't believe I own such an awesome car that myself and my boy enjoy so much.

Donald L. Henley built the LS7 in my 2012 Cyber Z06 loaded 3LZ. It has almost 4300 miles and runs like a bandit. Thanks for the great work you guys do building dreams..

Your assumption is correct. And Mike was one of the best, if not THE best!
