> The engine is a 457 cubic inch LS7 based motor with about 10000 miles on it. It’s entirely forged with fully ported L92 heads and L76 intake. After purchase I took her to Vengeance Racing in Cumming, GA for a check-up and tune. I’ve attached the dyno sheet. 474rwhp and 521rwtq… and most of that TQ is available pretty much at idle. > > The next best thing on the build sheet (or maybe even THE best) is the Madman Racing Ford 9 inch rear end. Wheel hop? No such thing. And no worries about grenading rear diffs. According to the previous owner the rear has less than 5000 miles on it, including the mileage I’ve put on it which is about 2000 miles total and half of that was highway miles driving it back from Austin, TX to Atlanta, GA. > > The headers are Kooks 1¾ and there’s a full custom exhaust behind that. The thing sounds incredible. Looks like plently of other goodies for a decent price [http://www.cadillacforums.com/cadillac-classifieds/showproduct.php?product=5584&sort=1&cat=23&page=1](http://www.cadillacforums.com/cadillac-classifieds/showproduct.php?product=5584&sort=1&cat=23&page=1) ---

I love those cars, even better with a soild axle as of right now. That motor kinda sucks, I’ve made more on stock L92s and alot less cubes, mild pump gas street setups. Its kinda ricer too calling it a LS7 “style” and V badges like that. Its a NA truck parts. Not hating, I’d love to have one but would change it around. ---

the low RWHP #s are due to a very mild cam and the truck style intake. Put an Ls7 intake and a even semi-decent cam in it and you can get 535 to 550 easy. Not that htis car is lacking anything with 5xx RW tq. ---
