Na...Here's the "low-down" on the WS-7.
It's based out of Dallas, Tx. @ "Evan's Pontiac G.M.C." I know, cause I, at first, wanted a "Firehawk", in which carries the "WS-6 package" and the "WU-6 package". The dealership here in Alexandria, La. couldn't order one. I got, from them, a "Firehawk" broucher. I then learned that S.L.P. engineered that "Beast". The guy at S.L.P. told me to call "Evan's Pontiac & G.M.C., said they ordered one to put on the "show-room floor". I did, the salesman said it had been sold, then went on to tell me about the WS-7/Sevan Series. It does have "more" horsepower than the Firehawk, they gave me the "rear-wheel dyno sheet" with purchase. It made "355 rear-wheel horsepower". LS-1.com, under the "Firehawk" postings, back in 1999, said the Firehawk ran about a 13.20 in the quarter. I ran mine at the track, stock, and got a 13.13. I then ran it on the juice, 175 shot of NOS, and got a 11.99 @ 116 mph. Again that WAS stock except for the NOS, in which I did not squirt it on the 13.13 pass, I wanted to see how it compared to the Firehawk.
I then had extensive work done to it, T.P.I.S. built me a 415 ci LS1 and put my Vortech Super-charger on it. It made 652 hp @ 5700 rpms and at 3500 my torque started out right at 500 and went up, of course, and that was with "2 punds of boost"! T.P.I.S. only set it at 2 lbs., for it to be a "truly street-driven machine". It then got hungry for my 4L60E, from "Art Carr". Went trough 2 of them, then Art Carr shipped me a 4L80E. RP Motorsports in Marietta, Ga. put it in, 6 days later in cought fire, due to some "faulty work they done". I hope this helped.

Look, if you upgrade a car and make it better than stock, then you can actually degrade the value of the car no matter what you "Badge" it as. Most collectors look for original equipment like motor, transmission, rear-end, matching numbers, low miles etc. It's kinda like buying a 500 dollar Impala and putting a $3000 dollar stereo and 17 inch rims, all around disc brakes and SS badges. Its still a $500 dollar "cloned" car in my book and its not an original SS Impala. My car is a no shit WS6. I don't car if a "cloned" WS6 beats me by a mile, mine is still a true WS6.
