I SO want one! Also, one can get the LS3 with the hotcam (485HP) installed by GM on the crate deal.

John -Shortblock is at Katech - Value 427 shortblock with Billet mains.
I'm waiting on Spintron of a newer cam they've developed for LS7 heads/LS7 intake. If the dynamics look good on the Spintron then I'll probably go with the new cam (If the LSA is narrow)
Then they'll assemble and Dyno. Then they ship - or more likely I'll go pick it up.

Hot Damn! That car of yours was fast enough, and you want more????
Can't say I blame you.
Enough is never enough!

Unbelievable. Would you have thought it possible 15 years ago??

Excellent, hopefully in 6 months they will be discounting them to the $5600 range that the LS2's are at. Either way you look at it $6200 for an all aluminum 430hp engine is one heck of a deal. 10 years ago that was unheard of. What does a Donovan or Rodeck block cost, 3 or 4K? LS3's are a great deal.

A Spintron is a tool that checks valvetrain dynamics using sensors and an electric motor to spin an engine with a full valvetrain installed. They can check durability, vibrations, harmonics, true motion, etc.

Len - I doubt I'll ever be done with the car. Soon I hope to be done with the engine...for now.
I'm in the same boat as John...........the economy.
John - Katech runs every cam they sell on a Spintron. Testing for durability basically. In fact they won't sell it to us unless it's tested....amazing company. If they put a longblock together then they have to dyno it. Every longblock from Katech is dyno'd - of course the customer pays an additional fee for the dyno.
