Ultima Engine provider-Again!!
Discussion
I know this has been done a hundred times but just wanted to get some opinions. I am just about to order an LS3 engine and noticed American Speed have upped prices and HP to 575bhp. My thoughts are is this simply a hot cam (for the increased power)which will cause issues for running and emissions. And what are the issues with sourcing a crate engine from the UK and a provider such as Auto Bionics (or anyone who can assist) to sort the parts so it will fit just as one from AS does out of the box so to speak
I realise this probably is easier to source from AS but at 13k is there much to be saved using a UK provider and going the other route? Lastly I will not be able to carry out any of the modifications myself as this is beyond my ability, so need to factor in the costs of the additional work it will need to fit and work etc

Hi all
As I started this topic I feel it only right to state that it is now my intention to now go with American Speed as I did not realise or comprehend the amount of development work that has been done to mate these with an Ultima.
Also as I have the 2013 chassis the other suppliers discussed will provide systems that clash heavily with the new updated chassis roll cage. I was also incorrect in stating there had been a price rise from American Speed I had gotten confused with the new higher BHP LS3 unit on offer.
This was one area of the build I knew little about and with hindsight regret starting the thread in some ways. For me personally I shall now stick with American Speed as my chosen provider and will be placing my order very soon.
I apologise to all for any confusion or re-awakening an old post subject but for me it will be American Speed as my chosen supplier all the way.
