Read what 'Slowhawk' posts about them on the bottom of the first page. They wouldn't have this problem if they have stuck with a 3rd gen.

Rally Pat Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 GM is running out of ideas for engine revisions, this is just proof of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTS1200 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 FI is probably not the best way to go with that engine with an 11:1 CR and it's not necessary to make big power. Heads/cam and a little n2o will make an already fast car into a beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemosley01 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I didn't realize they had cast pistons? Ti rods and cast pistons? Was it a weight issue that they chose cast pistons over forged slugs? I'm thinking 11:1 compression + FI probably aren't a good combo...

TurboTank Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 looks like its time to move to some cams on top of the heads and rev to 9k+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Looks like its time for GM to bring out their secret weapon: a quad turboed supercharged nitrous injected stroker a billion hp and it runs on the blood of christ.

excell Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 and it runs on the blood of christ. Sorry, they already used that one up on the L67. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbomark Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 People have to realize that the ls7 is like a honda motor. It's engineered to make their target horsepower and not much more. The components are lightened to the point where they're just strong enough to take what they're meant for, but pushing it beyond it's limits is begging for consequences.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 I hear plans for an LT2. Apparently, it is powered by the sweat straight from the testicles of Chuck Norris, often a key ingredient in the production of Tri-NitroToluene (TNT). About 4mL of this has the explosive power of Chuck Norris' own body weight in Semtex, which he ritually eats for breakfast (along with a hearty pitcher of Satan's Piss...Bacardi 151 and Tabasco sauce, for you n00bs). The LT2 actually has foregone the need for forced induction, and instead uses a special air filter that draws the spirit of the souls of the damned (made by K&N of course). Torque is measured in TNm (TeraNewton-meters), and horsepower is measured in RhKp (Roundhouse Kickpower). According to early reports, these numbers both disprove Einstien's Theory of Relativity and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle; E no longer =mc squared, but =Rhk to the power of fear, and we precisely know that the Z06 will be here now, and be several light years away in three seconds.

Tulo Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 People have to realize that the ls7 is like a honda motor. That just sounds funny. It's engineered to make their target horsepower and not much more. The components are lightened to the point where they're just strong enough to take what they're meant for, but pushing it beyond it's limits is begging for consequences. There are plenty of completely stock Honda motors making decent amounts of power. Either way, high CR+boost=dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
