I would recommend a 411 red/blue pcm tuned for that setup. Would need to know what year the intake/injector setup is from and what trans you will be using. If you cant find one, we have them in stock, PM me.

Well my buddy had it behind his 496 and when he sold the chassis he sold the motor and gave me a dam good deal on it. Before he gave it to me he took it back to get freshend up he told me it would easily handle 900-1000hp. I believe him cuz he had the same kind be hind his 632 putting out 1150hp. It does have a trans brake and its a manual valve body. I love this trans it ran really good be hind my big block I think its going to run better behind the lsx.

Hey Cutlass. Are you running drive by cable or drive by wire? I pm'd you the price. Remember there is currently free shipping to all LS1Tech.com members. We also offer Fuel Pumps, Filters, fittings, hose and tuned PCMs. Thanks for your interest.

It would be $845 with free shipping. There is an $85 core credit you can receive if you send a PCM in to us. There needs to be a note in the box with the PCM core.
