**bluehawk2000** · 01-22-2011, 12:18 PM

When we first revealed GMPP’s new LSX454R, it was, as you could imagine, huge news. Priced at around $11,625 retail, the monstrous 13.1:1 compression LS plant features 6-bolt all-aluminum LSX heads atop a 6-bolt main aluminum block, and erupts with an impressive 720 horsepower and 720 pound-feet of torque.

I want

honestly $11-12000 isnt that bad for the power, too bad it wont run on pump gas

I wonder if it would hold 10 lbs. of boost with some good fuel

With lower compression pistons it should

**wheeliE-maxx** · 01-22-2011, 09:24 PM

You could run boost on corn squeezins, some meth injection. On the street

**cammed goat** · 01-23-2011, 07:04 AM

Sheesh!! For $67k, can it be installed in a car of the winning bidder's choosing?

You would def have to lower the compression, at 13 to 1 your looking at having a 12G bomb lol.

Ls7 ftw...

**alexg69** · 01-23-2011, 02:51 PM

The guy saying the prices sounded like he was bouncing off the rev limiter lol

**Never-Enough** · 01-23-2011, 07:50 PM

It went to charity.

I understand this for a good cause and all, but this is also the reason people why ask the outragous amounts for f-bodies when they post them up for sale.

Shit is a joke. I was looking at a '93 Hardtop, 6spd TA w/166,000 on it (fair condition at best) and the guy is asking $11,000!!!

it's a $1500-$2000 car at most on a good day. Yet he's hell bent he will get that $11,000 and won't take anything less.

Some people are simply money hungry assholes, who need to get bucked off their high-horse.

In reality, when your getting to serious power like 750 and above, I'm starting to think it's really better to just go with a BBC. The technology has been there for years, the heads are there, a buddy of mine I went to high school with just got through building a 1000 hp BBC all motor. He said he spent about 18k on the motor building it.
