Now I'm not a big fan of the LS7 for reasons mentioned above and I think there can be alot more motor done for less using a different LS based combo. Not everyone wants a C-5 some of us love our C-4's.
Raid, I know you love yours, as I love my race car. But you didn't try to integrate with ASR. You didn't try to integrate into a CCM. You didn't try to integrate in with the factory gauges.

Honestly, if it is so easy, how come everybody is not running a LSx in their C4? How many of these conversion projects have been abandoned mid stream or close to the end?

However, if you don't have to worry about how much it costs and you really want the Wow Factor, then its a project worth tackling for you.
Exactly. Maybe if you were building a pro touring hot rod from scratch, had no CARB to deal with, no existing ECM/CCM to try and tie into.

That is the correct answer. Hell even a C5 Z06 or base C6.
