I want to start running 10.90 class in OSCA in ontario, Can.,and then pick it up to the 9.90 class,
after he gets comfortable....... lol lol
Thanks For your comments thus far.

I was looking hard at the lsx454. Can't beat it for the price, forged internals, ready to bolt in with a waranty. I look at it this way 620 horse out of the box and upgradable.
I am currently in the process of building a lsx 427 and believe me it is not less to do. The things that kill you are the bolts, covers, gaskets, machine work. If your going to build it from the ground up with upgraded parts such as ported heads and arp bolts and things like that then you will blow right past the cost of the lsx454. It is a great buy for what you get.

Good platform to start with. LSX block. 6 bolt LSXLS7 heads. 620 certified horsepower. Warranty that GM will stand behind. This engine is made ready to go. We could prob put together a package that was close to this in output and final trim, but it would not have the GMPP warranty. That is the biggest selling point of this engine.
I have sold a few recently and helped source an 8 bolt flexplate and flywheel for a few. They are not hard to get but they are a little more pricey.

I will probably stick the 6 speed back in the car as it's gettin boring with the auto.
I ran a 10.96 at Milan on Saturday then an 10.93 at Byron on Sunday. 1.62 to 1.63 60' on radials
