Thanks Jo, Hope you and all the gang are well, and have survived the Holiday's. Sorry to have taken up so much of your Forum space with the info on the C6 package that I'm doing. When Cam posts something, he does so in grand fashion..:grr

I've tried to give this a lot of thought before commiting to the package with LPE. Originally, I was just going to drop a Maggie SC on the stock motor and leave it go at that, but after really looking into it, I decided the N/A way would be best. LPE will start work on the car Monday morning, and has promised to keep me updated with emails and pics as it all progresses, which I'll relay to this Forum, for those who might be interested. Best regards, TRJ..;42

Great looking hood. They just look mean.
It will be unlikely that air will exit the engine bay from this area. It is likely to add even more air to the engine bay which is OK for cooling provided it has other areas to exit.

YES! The 427 CID package uses a Z06 LS7 Block. The Heads are your LS2 Heads which are CNC ported and polished to match the LS7 Block. The LS7 Block is a small block. The Maggie fits on just fine. Should put you above 700 flywheel HP....;eek....(Also may be done as a Twin Turbo)...;eek

You will have lotsa folks scratching their heads wondering where the "Z06" badges went.;laugh

Decided to go with a different Intake Manifold. The LS6 flows a lot more than the LS2, because of it's larger lobes, and larger throttle body.(90mm vs 85mm) Should pick up an additional 12-15 HP, according to Lingenfelter Engineers. They stopped using the FAST brand intake manifolds because too many of them were separating. (Three layer composit material) They should install it tomorrow morning, and then on the Dyno in the afternoon...:v
Here's the LS6 Intake Manifold.

Thanks V.O. the car is a blast, yesterday it was pretty miserable with the high winds and snow showers, and below freezing temps, but today it's supposed to warm up and be reasonable, so I'll take her out and play a little. Sorry about the "no video from LPE" they were so swamped, that one day last week there were 18 cars lined up, waiting for their turn on the dyno. Every person in the organization was just busy up to their eyebrows. They are a great bunch, and I know that they would have done the video if it were at all possible. I've been looking at some Video-Cams and will probable make a choice within the coming week, so I'll make a few myself. Have a great Easter Celebration with the gang!
Best regards...;42

Hi 69VETTE,
Thanks much for your kind words! In regards to the Valentine 1 Radar Detector, the answer is yes, it recieves both Radar and Laser. It has seperate antenna's for both, in front and in back. So you get protection from both Radar and Laser from your front, and also from your back. Go to their website, it has a wealth of information. Use the buttons at the top of the home page to navigate around. The following link will give you a copy of the Operating Manual in PDF format, for the detector.

For what its worth I have a Passport X50 8500 which is as I understand the competitor to the V1.
As good as the X50 is, after driving a friends car in the USA with a V1 I found the directional arrows of the V1 to be really helpful. While some may say they are a gimmick it does help knowing what direction to look in for the radar or laser.
If I bought another I'd probably go with the V1.
