Do the people at hinson supercars get the motor for you at a fair price or is it better to get a turnkey motor on your own and ship it to them with the car??? BTW if all goes well I plan on a stock LS7 it should be plenty power to keep me happy for a long time.

^indeed it would. LS7's with just and intake and tune have been dynoing 490-500whp. such and underrated motor. I am wanting to build a 9 second car to go against a family members Cobra...so I'm debating on the LSX with FI, I'v never played with Nitrous before so I dunno if I wanna go that route even though the block is said to love it.

i was reading something about smog legal.. can someone verify that. I think what was mentioned was that they will replace the ecu with the vettes ecu thus passing emissions.

they hybridize the two actually so the Nissan unit controls the normal functions and the 'vette ecu controls the motor.

it's somewhere in this thread.

Yep...you guys beat me to the responses. I believe Hinson's prices would beat those of GM. I went with an LSX simply because if I'm gonna do it i'm gonna go big.

Nitrous is being used simply for numbers and I will most likely not have the ***** to spray a 300 shot into my 454 on the street!

The weather is soooo nice man....i'm tempted to just call it off and drive a stock VQ
