When we last wrote about Dedicated Motorsports’ 2002 Lexus IS300<\/a> the 5.3 L LC9 was producing 700 horsepower on 11 psi of boost thanks to a pair of Precision 6266 turbochargers. Since then the car and boost has continued to progress. To get ready for TX2K16 the team installed a new 5.3 L aluminum LC9 LSx after spotting a crack in the block. On the dyno the engine produced 1,138 horsepower on 25 psi of boost from two Xona Rotor 95-67 turbochargers and controlled by a Motec M150. The team was going to turn it up to 30 psi which would make an estimated 1,300 horsepower but ran into a problem. In the video below the car sets a personal best of 8.76 at 167 mph while rowing the gears on a TR6060 six-speed transmission. <\/p>\n
