Default Worlds first Ls3 lexus ls430 is going RHS 454

So the ls3 wasnt enough power. Called around to all the top builders, Chad @ Golen engines went above and beyond to make the build happen so really cant say how pleased I am with how they do business over there. Chad set a deadline and it was like clock work. This for me is a rarity. I have cars and car parts all over the place that had 2 month, 2 week dead lines that have turned into a year or more. So yea if you want a motor built well and on time, Chad is fantastic. So about the motor. I went with a RHS standard deck, 454ci, Brodix Br7, callies internals, wiseco pistons. The big choice was to go with the regular 102 fast or fork out the change for the LME 5 piece aluminum intake. Well im extremely happy I went with the LME intake she isnt cheap, by a long shot but worth every penny! I decided to see what i could pull on the motor NA with pump gas, so I went with 11:1 comp. Cam is very streetable. Time to build a new t56 and Quick change rear end :-) Im very happy with the numbers. cant wait to see what it gets to the rear tires.

I like how originally you had the ls3 heads on the six liter, and the cathedral port heads on the ls3.

Anyways, this engine... My goodness! Going to be fantastic, sir.

not sure what your talking about? the ls3 that was in my s13 and in my ls430 was a factory ls3 6.2. I recently built a 6 liter for my s13 with l92 heads that put down 420 wheel with a mild mild street cam low comp. but thanks man.
