Im excited, hopefully I can start ordering some sikky parts in the next week or so.. I got a very good deal from them on the whole set... the swap kit, ecu wiring,power steering, master cylinder, and the 1 7/8 headers. so it should be good to drop in.
Ive been eying this 06 Ls2 GTO motor with 25K miles so we'll see..
I will definitely PM you with some questions!

My buddy installed a cam (not sure what type) and had the car tuned and gained like 60+ whp.
He could have been lying but I noticed a HUGE difference when I drove the car between the mods

I used to own LS6 RX-7, so I know a bit about these swaps and the power these motors can get with simple cam/headers/exhaust. Yes, it was hard to believe first as I'm used to modding imports. LS1 can put down over 400rwhp easily just with bolt-ons and cams... ridiculous. However, with cams, you sacrifice some drivability at low-rpms. But you can still achieve over 400rwhp easily with just a mild, street friendly cam and bolt-ons...

Woot! My LS2 and T56 (2.66) Magnum has just arrived and the clutch is on order. I can't wait to get this beast on the road this April. I still need to order my conversion kit and couple small things but I will here in about a month. Hopefully the Sikky kit will be a little further along.

Our kit comes with the master cylinder and all lines, fittings and needed brackets/hardware. As well as a nice bleeder setup that allows bleeding the slave outside the bell housing, unlike the poorly designed Oem configuration.

For those of us in California, has anyone looked at the EROD option from GM? Complete LS3 that is CARB compliant for OBD-I vehicles and includes all the emission stuff. My question is what is needed to make the LS3 EROD OBD-II compliant. Seems like all the emission and harness parts are OBD-II.
Also, will the headers/cats from 2010 Camaro fit in the 350z? I think the headers are the major limitation to making this legal in California.

i thought swaps were only legal as long as its from the same manufacturer??

I used to think so but a member on here corrected me. I also found nothing in any of the CARB executive orders or engine swap/change laws that restrict the swaps to the same manufacturer. Just have to be newer, accompanied by the oem mated transmission, and installed with all emission components from donor vehicle. The EROD package has all of this, minus the tranny, but a T56 can be easily acquired.
