Default Worlds first LSx 6sp LS430 (I think?)

2006 ls430 LS3, fast 102 & tb, prc heads, comp .641/615", cometic, arp, 1 7/8 to single 4" electric cutout, stock exhaust back, its quite ;-) !!, monster clutch. Motor isn't tuned yet but runs pretty decent and fast. when its tuned its going to be insane. It did 490wheel in my 240 with smaller headers and no cutout. Everything works in the car, back up camera is wired into the manual, custom clutch setup. Soon to be wide bodied with custom 20" vip modular in cognac copper on accu air setup. props to Rich and justin daft innovations in modesto ca 🙌

Very impressive. What do you use to control the engine?

The word "why" seems to come to mind.

The engine is a standard GM ecu. I think corvette... I've asked my self why plenty of times so it's legit question.the quickest answer would be to do something no one else has, and usually that follows with a why? Lol. I love toyota vehicles, and love "sleepers" and that fact is, I want to eventually see 700-800whp pro charged... Just isn't happening with a 1u-3uz without quadruple the price and the loss of most of the luxury due to stand alone and other factors..

I on the other hand ask, "Why not? The surprise on the faces of folks when that thing starts up is enough for me to justify the price of admission.

I'm assuming all the electronics are remaining intact and that few things are being compromised which kind of makes it a CTS-V but cooler because it isn't! If he puts the pro-charger on it and gets that 600-800 hp at the wheels... that will be so sweet.

The only other thing I would have done was a valve on the exhaust. Total stealth of a quiet exhaust when you drive around and raw un-muffled mayhem when you want to blow the doors off a Ferrari. Wait... did you do that? The pictures seem to show something like that...???

That's an awesome swap!!! It's way too expensive to get that kind of power out of the 3UZ. If you don't mind me asking, how difficult was the process and how much would a setup like that cost?

I love that transmission and engine. I used to have a C6 vette so this tickles me to death. The important question is do you have the 1st to 4th skip shift eliminator? =P

Very awesome my friend.
