If the price tag is $23,200 or there abouts i dont see the value in it.
It would probably be cheaper to buy the LSX454 do a cam and heads swap even if you went with the DR heads and cam and then sold the LSX LS7 heads off i think the price jump is just way too high. I thought it would have been more around the 15-16k range.
Also the ad isn't very clear as to if you get the intake manifold and dominator carb.
Its the exact same bottom end as the lsx454 so i just cant see the value in 23k.
rocker covers look trick but i aint paying 23k for rocker covers to have an R on them...lol

so basically the price jumps up 13k for heads, 1.9 ratio rockers solid cam, pushrods, solid lifters. and rocker covers that say LSX454R.
i still think it would be cheaper to buy the LSX454 sell the cam, heads complete from valves to roller rockers, lifters, pushrods.
And then buy the other DR parts or better still by edelbrock or Mozez heads and intake.

A little cheaper than previously thought $19,199 at jegs.com
Engine Includes:
High-rise, open-plenum aluminum intake manifold specific to LSX454R
Dominator carburetor
Harmonic Balancer
Orange powder-coated, engraved valve covers
I'd like to see real dyno numbers. Somewhere I read that HP is north of 800 hence they rate it at over 750HP
