GRAND BLANC, Mich. – GM Performance Parts’ (GMPP) announces the all-new LSX454R crate engine (part number 19257880), a 720-horsepower drag racing engine that is the most powerful LS engine ever engineered by General Motors.

The LSX454R is officially rated at 720 horsepower and 720 lb.-ft. of torque, but it is capable of more. A very strong, all-forged rotating assembly and optimized high-rpm airflow were developed by GMPP engineers, who have the most experience with building and testing LS performance engines in the industry.

“The LSX454R uses the latest LSX parts and factory-engineered technology to take LS performance to the next level,” said Dr. Jamie Meyer, product integration manager for GM Performance Parts. “This is a great engine to use when building a cutting-edge drag car with one of our new Camaro bodies in white.”

Growth in the popularity of LS-based drag racing helped drive the design and development of the LSX454R. It brings together many of the specialized GMPP LSX parts racers are already using, including the robust LSX Bowtie block, and offers a ready-built engine that is competitive out of the crate.
