We just tested our LS1 to LS7 Killer Bee Conversion. Almost plug and play. The only problem encountered was the filter location, which is pretty easy to adjust.

Reprogramming was necessary to convert the LS1 MAF code over to the LS7 Hitachi Probe MAF with the Halltech 103mm MAF sensor.

This product needs more R&D, but the results were an instant hit with our customer from Illinois.

We should have this in production by June.

Wouldn't installing an LS1 style reluctor wheel on the crankshaft eliminate a lot of reprogramming issues with the LS1 PCM or is this strictly a MAF related matter?

I think he's adapting his custom C6Z air filter kit to fit an LS1 is all.

We are working on an all new Venom for the C5. This will place the MAF sensor in the same location as on the C6.

The other upgrade will be the Killer Bee AAIS for the C5. The only issue here will be LS7 MAF sensor issue, which will require the entire MAF code be reflashed to the Z06 code. We have done this already, and fitment is the only issue.

We have already retrofitted the 05-07 with the Killer Bee, and have a wire harness conversion for the Delphi 85 to Hitachi Probe MAF plug. The MAF code is perfect, and power increase was 5 more than the Stinger, without additional tuning.

Lots of work ahead.

It is a MAF code issue with the Killer Bee AAIS since it utilizes the LS7/LS3 style MAF sensor and our huge 103.5mm MAF housing (integrated into the bridge)

Jim,
I PM'd you twice about this very thing more than a month ago. Needless to say, you didnt bother to respond. You use MY car on the cover of Vette to advertise your product, but you couldnt have the courtsy to answer. I dont get it..

"When" this comes out, I will more than likely buy one. But it would be nice since your using my photos, to at the very least respond to my messages.
