0-60mph in 3.7 in 1st gear , that's insane.
compression ratio on the LS7 is 11:1. a turbo won't be going on there unless the compression is dropped, which lowers the power.

of course, it won't be TOO much of a power loss....and the turbo would more than make up for it.

now, why stop at a turbo? why not twin-turbo?
