Default My New Setup "BIG Thanks TO LMR and LME"

Well, some of you know my old setup (H/C) went Boom A few months back out in Mexico... So when it was time to come up with a new setup, I had to give LMR (LateModelRaceCraft) a call since they have always been on the leading edge of GM late model technology. My first though was to do a "383ci with a blower", then Josh and Steven took the time to share with me the dyno number of pervious customers with (383's and power adders) vs. GM's new LSX platform... There was no comparison. So I went with a "LSX 454ci" I stopped in at LMR to take a few pics to show my fellow LS1tech members of the new setup in progress.







And the New License plate for the new setup !!!


And this is one of the reason's I say LMR is on Leading edge of GM late model technology !!!(4 LSX long block's waitng in their engine building room to hit the Street/ Strip)



I will keep the members on Tech up date with more as we are waiting on a few more parts... Power adder etc

I'd like to see some of those graphs.

Looks like your going to have a REALLY nice setup. Any estimate on power level?

Thanks for all the kind word guys


We are looking for 640-650rwhp on motor, then adding two kits/ one small kit at the TB and a direct port for the big shot (leaving that all up to JOSH) He knows he has full control to set this car up like it was his.


Tony, Let me know.... That was one of my main goals for this car(To have this car featured in a Mag)

Those are the trays specifically used for the LSX block. The extra head stud gets in the way of using reguler O.E. lifter trays.


BTW, nice plates . Can't wait to see track times, etc.
