Is there any major differences? If not i dont see a reason to go with the ls7 for that much more money if there is no great advantage.
The stock LS-7's stock 4.125" bore should serve you well. They do cost more as you state however. I have one in my 07' Z and drive it every day. I average at least 25 MPG if that's what you are looking for. Oh yea it's fast too when you want it to be and a great all around engine. Nothing bad to say about this combo.
