Details, pics, and dyno run of the 388CI solid roller destroked LS7 in my Superlite Coupe.

Was just watching vids of Detroit Speed's Camaro and was wondering how that would look in an SLC and landed on your video. Nice work, how's she running?

Thanks! There have been some pretty crazy engines in SLCs, twin turbo LS, supercharged LS, BMW V10. It's running pretty will -- took it to the drag strip a couple weeks ago (posted a vid on that). It's still running a little rich a cruising speeds so I need to adjust the tune.

@@markb5066 If you don't mind me asking was it a costly engine build? Been looking at the S85 V10 (BMW) or a setup similar to yours if I pull the trigger on an SLC. I like high redline fast revving engines like my 5.2L GT350.

@@jamesevan7561 It was just under 14k including the dry sump pump and tank *but* I did all of the parts sourcing (except crank and pistons) and did the long block assembly, including fabbing up the oil pan, myself, so I saved a few $K. I'm totally with you on high revving engines -- just more fun.
