LS7 2002 Firehawk
Below are a few photos of an LS7 swap we performed in a 2002 Firehawk Convertible. The owner wanted something that looked fairly stock when he opened the hood and had the drivability that he had when the car was stock.
A stock 2007 Z06 makes roughly 440-450 RWHP on our Dyno Jet. This car made 482 RWHP/463 RWTQ through an auto on the same dyno! Seems like it really liked the headers, exhaust, and tune!
The car and detailed story can be seen in the July/August issue of Pontiac Enthusiast Magazine.

The pictures really just do not do the car any justice... The install looks pretty much factory the way things were done. The guys in back did a really great job. Thing is quick too !!!

Very nice! Were there any computer issues or was it pretty much drop it in, connect everything, and ready to go?
If you want to donate a LS7 to me you can do an install on my manual Vette and see what kind of numbers you get.
