454 LSX Buildup Photos Inside Machinist is Late Model Engines. The goal here is not a fulltime track car, but a badass full weight, rollbar street car with A/C, power windows, stereo and decent idle.
600+ Peak RWHP horsepower and huge torque across the curve is the goal. Car should be completed in early August. The 235cc Trick Flows are designed to provide huge mid-lift flow, so this will impact the torque goal. Engine is built to handle existing NX nitrous system (after warranty expires).
Components include:
GM Bow Tie LSX 454 CID Block
Callies Compstar 4.125" Stroke Crank
Callies Compstar 6.125 Rods
ARP Studs
Wiseco forged 4.187" 9cc VP's
11.8/1 Compression
Cam Motion Custom Cam 25X/26X .64X" .62X" 112 LSA
Melling M295 Ported High Volume Oil Pump
LS2 Double Roller Timing Chain
Trick Flow 235cc Heads (4 bolts per cylinder)
Trick Flow Chromemoly Pushrods
Comp Lifters
Jesel Shaft Mounted Rockers
Ported F.A.S.T. 90 Intake Manifold
Nick Williams 90mm Throttle Body
American Racing 1 7/8 Stainless Headers
Magnaflow Custom Built True Duals
T-56 by Six Speeds Inc.
RAM Twin Disc Clutch
Aluminum Flywheel
Obviously more power could be cranked out of this engine platform, but again streetability was the deal here.

Pffft. 
Who even cares? Big freaking deal. Not like I'd buy one even if i had the money. Pfft. Stupid LSX block. Stupid paint job. Stupid 454 c.i.d. Stupid Callies crank. TFS heads and your huge mid-lift flow. 600 horse power. Pfft. Who needs all that power anyways? Probably just melt the tires and break **** anyway. i don't want one.

I do think the Wilson Billet would be a huge improvement.

Is the Wilson Billet more of a FAST/LS design, but with some custom design mixed in to keep the low end torquehigh , but give a little more HP on the top end?
