However the answer to your question is all about getting the 550 to hook.

Not to be rude, but if you look at the eforce add, it is 550 flywheel hp not rwhp. We are thinking of the eforce model with the 599 hp unit and request LG to do the install with LG headers and a few goodies. Will keep ya posted as we are probably going to do this real soon.

There's going to be a big rush to be "the first" with this install......funny.
While I won't be the first, I'll definitely be picking one up. This is the SC I've been waiting for, and knowing months ago that it was coming, was a slight factor in buying an LS3.

BTW I recall waching a video with Vic Hedelbrock claiming approx. 550RWHP for 599hp unit and apporx 500RWHP for the the other unit.
So - since I am not going to try this at home and looking a various tests done with C6 C6Z and ZR-1 I guess with 550RWHP i could expect 3.9 0-60 and 11.9 for 1/4 ? (stock c6 tires..).
Obviously just speculating on my part and to a certain extent not really exciting since I read posts with 1000RWHP and sub 2 secs times..:-)

LS7 kit is under development, basically its the same as the LS3 kit that is about to be released, but with a different intake assembly to mate to the LS7 heads. All other parts are interchangable. The only other part(s) I would be concerned about would be a 8 or 10 rib conversion for those wanting more boost and more power. That should be easily remedied by the aftermarket.

Good point and given my driving style I am probably asking the wrong question. I should have asked what improvements I get on 60 to 120. Maybe the tire "hook" factor is not as important.
BTW I recall waching a video with Vic Hedelbrock claiming approx. 550RWHP for 599hp unit and apporx 500RWHP for the the other unit.

I'm not sure what the improvement would be over what you have right now, but I would think you could tell right away that you added some more ponies and you would make that 100 mile trip a bit faster.

Yes they are but they are not planning on giving us a 8 or 10 rib kit. ATI, LPE can supply them or most likely others like ECS, or Innovators West Pulley boys.

Bring us your car so we can test out one of these units.

I seen the same video talking about the 550 rwhp.

Oh, I'm SO dying to know what the price is going to be. I just know Edelbrock's gonna ruin it and charge something like $8000-$10000. 
I'm already considering just axing a new garage project and going all the way for an SC install instead of a cam.

That being said the one common power limiting factor that applies to all cars is the working distance available between the top of the motor and the bottom of the hood.
If one companies top mounted SC unit fits under the same hood that another top mounted SC unit does not you can bet your bottom dollar that the one that needs a new hood will produce more power.
However I still like this unit and a new GS with one of these may be just the ticket in times when we are all counting our change of how to break into the performance numbers normally associated with a bigger ticket price.

even if it is delayed a few more weeks i think it will be worth it. i have a feeling that this supercharger system will be the one to have. i can't wait to hear the updates.
