Default Baddest LSX on the planet?
Maybe,were going to find out pretty soon.just got a couple of finishing touches.This is Phil Thomas's 438 turbo lsx engine,last year it went 7.59 at 191 on radials with a 106 mm turbo.Unfortunately it didn't last too long due to some inherit design flaws.I rebuilt,reworked,reinforced the entire engine.We're looking for 6's at over 200 in the 1/4 mile this year.

438 LSX 106mm turbo(for now)
LSX block with ALOT of reinforcement
ET ls7 heads with some custom VA Speed hand porting
Sonny Bryant billet crank
Grp aluminum rods
JE custom pistons
700+ lift solid roller
Jesel shaft rockers
Jesel belt drive&frt mount dist
Marcella custom sm manifold
Dry sump oiling
and alot of little custom pieces and machining

Do you need someone to test the motor for you.

That's King of The Hill motor.

Too bad it's not going into an F-body.

We'll definitely find out if the motor has been reinforced enough. I don't have any plans on pussyfooting with the motor.
