2010 Camaro LS7 swap

Got a new Camaro here (gabe I know you'll like this!!) it has a 427 LS7 swap done to it, but the odd thing is, it's an auto 6speed (gabe again!).

Pretty nice car!!

Had a few issues with wiring and sensor compatibility, but we got that all figured out.

Here you go:

Sweet! Did you do the swap or just figure out the issues? Does this swap void the warranty?

No, he kept it all in the dealer hands, so it would be a "dealer item".
Even says it on the invoice.

We just figured it out after the engine was in.

Warranty, what warrany, LOL. Is your TBSS still under warranty? It only has like 5,000 miles on it right?

505hp is what they claim. Not sure, but we'll find on the dyno tomorrow.

Wow. That is freakin awesome. That tranny must be strong enough since the dealer allowed the swap to happen--and still wanna warranty the thing.

It's only 500hp, it'll hold. It's working out great so far.
shifts are nice and crisp, not too harsh, had to remove some TM, but now it's fine.
I have heard of a few output shafts snapping on the 6speed autos.

Go check out the parts from MastMotorsports, they have parts to put a hurt on a 427 LS7 using the 6.2L as the base engine.
