Default New Avalanche project

My buddy and I are discussing which way to go with a NBS AVA,the 5.3 aint gunna to cut it.His idea is a LS7,my thoughts are either 427 dry sump shortblock from SDPC and some nice heads N/A.OR a stroked LS2 with a radix.I am open to ideas.We became inspired by this LS7 Tahoe.

As badass as the 500HP 427 is I would have expected 12s,It may just need good tuning.

For sure,I am not so proud that I have to be the pioneer,it wouldnt happend before all the kinks were worked out.We talked about it the other night ,it could be a year away.At first it sounded like sooner rather than later.

i would think the ls7 would sound cooler as a name (ls7 avalanche) but i would think you would make more power from a radix stroked ls2 but idk
