Mine's was running, was going to get it tuned this week and try for the track next weekend but it sat for the evening with some leftover fuel in the intake and when I started backfired and blew the snout off the TPIS intake. To thier credit they just said send it we'll fix it and even update it while we have it (even though it really isn't thier fault). But unless I buy another intake\tb combination I'm done for the season. I'll get it running and dialed in. While it was running it was fun!

There is another guy with a 100+ reply thread with his running and dyno'd.

I've got the LSX 454 running and dyno'ed, but because of other stuff in the business world consuming me, I've barely found the time to finished the break-in period on the clutch (400 miles).

So far, so good on the engine set-up. No issues.

I hope to get a few passes at the track in the early fall.

Default Our 455 has been running for 2 months

We took it to the track on the first stage of gas an ran 9.72 @142. It is in a full weight Formula. It is 3905lbs with me in it. Shooting for some 9.3 or 9.4 with both stages. We will be running the 9.50 index at the shootout. We are finishing two low compression 455lsx motors right now and one high compression. This new block sells as fast as we can build them.

Thank you.
Yes, it was Aric's old car.
I wanted to start from a good platform then mod from there.
After a year or so and pretty much zero miles...it should be completed in a few weeks.

Finally made some progress with mine this past weekend at Outlaws at Atco.

The car had issues and still managed a bunch of 8.1x with the boost controller problems.

We got a customers C6Z06 up and running last week with a LME LSX 427. We are running stock heads until the ET LS7's come in. The customer took the car to Ohio for a race last Friday but the car was down .4 and down .2 in the 60'. We will have the car back soon and running at a local track to see whats going on. It still ran a 10.7 na and the direct port should be here Thursday.
