GM Performance, using valuable data gleaned from the factory-sponsored Corvette C5R racing program, developed the LS7 with many competition-derived components and design features. It takes production small block performance to an unprecedented level while demonstrating the continuing adaptability of the engine's compact cam-in-block design. It is, quite simply, the largest, most powerful production small block V8 GM has ever produced. Each engine assembled by hand by a single specially-trained builder.Specifications
