I'm still on my stock motor and I basically said I'd give the engine two chances to go out (stock engine = now, and street port = future) before I myself seriously consider this conversion. I'm not sooo dedicated to rotaries that I would put up with 3 + engine rebuilds like some others have been known to do.

Oh and quick question: Is "torquecentral" a forum for LS1 FD's or just a general forum?

Ok let's see...Torquecentral.com is a general forum with a sub-forum titled V8RX7. They have V8RX7 Technical section and a V8RX7 Lounge.

Your question about the number of V8RX7s...yes there are quite a few. There were about 80 that were registered to appear at the event but I think on half could actually make it. Brain Hinson of HinsonSuperCars.com was also in attendance. You may have heard about his 8 second LS1 FD. Anyway, Hinson Supercars is about 60 miles from my house and is a pretty wealthy business so that should tell you a little about how popular the LS1 conversion is. Here's a pic from a Helicopter that was taken of the SevenNotStock Event:

Oh and sorry to hijack the thread guys.
