LS3 to LS7 Similarities
Hey Everybody,
I just went from a supercharged LS2 to a stock LS3.
If I understand correctly the LS3 has vastly improved intake flow.
I believe that this is due to the LS3 and LS7 sharing intake and head components, is this correct?
If so, I am running Corsa Sports with a no drone X Pipe for sound only.
Does any one have direct experience with a stock LS7 cam only in a stock LS3?
While I am at it, I will bet one of you Z 06 Guys has a take out cam to sell me.
.
Please help, keep me from doing stupid things to my car.
.

no the ls3 and ls7 have different heads and intake yes the Ls3 has better heads than the ls2. as for the cam thing not a clue but I know a Spinmonster spec cam is a great combo that gives good power and driveablity. but I don't think you will get much out of the LS7 cam for the money it takes to replace it anyway.

LS3 to 7
Lockman,
Thanks for the reply.
I am going to do a supercharger when Callaway goes to new style like Edelbrock, or do LS7 swap.

Edelbrock S/C
Steve,
Did Callaway last time.
I believed it to be a proven system.
The jury is still out on the Edelbrock, I believe, no bashing just waiting.

Callaway has been doing the new style superchargers (like Edelbrock) for a while now. They are using the TVS based kits. They do require a different hood though. If you are waiting for Callaway to do a kit based where they don't need a different hood, you will be waiting forever.

LS3 to 7
I have the opportunity to buy a long block LS7, can I swap and redress with my LS3 parts?
Change injectors and re-tune?
Thanks Kevin
