On this list of mods.....it will be interesting to here the results..I might what to copy it...if that's allowed.
Oh, one more thing, if you are paying a premium for the LS7 lifters over NEW from GM stock LS1 or LS2 lifters, buy the LS1's. They're all the same lifter now, no difference.

Anyone with a H/C setup? If so whats your average MPG for daily driving city/highway?
Also still waiting to hear on the clearance issue. Is there one or not? Kinda confused on this point.
Thanks!

*bump*
I really want to know about the clearance issue. Is 59cc to much?
And gas mileage would be nice if people could post some average mpg for daily drivers with h/c
Not stomping on it either just regular daily driving mpgs.

My H/C would average 23-24MPH(6 speed w/ 4.10s) Would get as high as 27 on the highway.

)Do you need to remove the pistons to have them flycut or can someone come out and do it while they are in the block? And does this make them "weaker"?
Thanks!

No you don't have to remove the pistons. They can be cut in the block. Yes they make them weaker. Just don't take out to much material and on a H/C car it wouldn't be a problem.

Sounds great then
I have another question. If the heads are milled and lower cc then the stock heads will the fast intake manifold align to the heads without any problem? My neighbor said something about it may not line up because the heads would be closer to the block.
Thanks.
