We have a few guys in town running LS7s in Chevelles and Novas with a SLD roller cam. Most are bottom 11's or high 10's on slicks.

I think bang for buck would be some porting, since those tend to respond well to it, and a hyd roller cam from Chris Straub. I have a set of lightly ported RPM-M heads and they picked up 60cfm at...
