The LS4 is a FWD motor. Impala SS and Grand prix GXP along with a few other GM nose heavies come with them. Basically the 5.3L block with the mounts relocated similar to what Nissan does with the VQ.

I just did this project all in the wrong order, and went to the wrong shops until I sent the car to Darren. If we had done 6 speed swap first and boosted later it'd have saved a lot of headache and money. At this point in my build I was doing 6 speed swap because it would have been almost as expensive to go back to stock (including purchasing sold/modified stock parts) so was just focusing on replacing the part that kept breaking (drivetrain).

Oh, didn't know that. Saw LS and figured RWD.

Anyway, happy to see this actually worked what is done to the ECU, any changes needed? Some trickery with the resistors n stuff?

Well Done!
i am new to the maxima family as i just got rid of my bmw and bought my 7th gen Maxima. Would love to swap out to a 6 speed manual as that is what my bmw was. as far as power adder i think i want to super charge. i like the turbo charging but i have been there and done that.
