To anyone who says pedestal rockers can't handle stud mount power levels…this video says it all. How much cam and spring pressure is a different story though.
Cant wait doing a 427 texas speed block with my lsa head and ported blower gonna be a great summer😎😈
With a ZL1 lid and E85 this thing would have made 850-875 easily. Insane
ULTIMATE HORSEPOWER!
What was the pistons size
I can’t believe you went through this entire build without telling us how much boost it made. 🤷🏻♂️
Great build though, love it!
GM should watch this and drop it into a TRX or Raptor R competitor lol. That torque curve would be amazing in something like that.
these guys are so funny, spend $30,000 on an engine to tune it with HP tuners, only to make 800hp where the supercharger is the limiting factor. This thing would have made the same power and held up without the rotating assembly. lets put a whipple on it and see what it can really make
now if you will just send it to me ill put it in my S10
How many pens does one pocket hold?
1-3/4 headers on force fed 427? smh
Dear god
What happen to this project gray hair white nuckle ??
It's bullet proof
Now that's a big alligator!!!
Crazy
Too much money for regular Hot Rodders.
Spend all that money on that motor and blower just to put inadequate 1 3/4” headers and a 4” intake on it. That wasn’t blower whine you were hearing, that was the motor screaming for help because it couldn’t breathe.
How much does this cost? I want the exact build done to my 13 V
GOING IN A 93 CAPRICE 😁😁😁 can we say SUPERB CHOICE?!?!?…..ya
Surely you can find a better vehicle the footer than the grandma mobile
Could i get the same school to do my heads
BRING BACK MIKE GALLEY OR GET CANCELED 😞
I can't imagine what that motor would do with a TVS 2650 blower and on ethanol
How often should the lifter trays be changed on this engine?
I want this engine in my 2017 SS SPORT Sedan, 6 MT
This would be SO much fun !
Actually the intake gaskets are held in place with pop rivets. BIG QUESTION IS , HOW MUCH IS THIS BUILD GOING TO COST ME ?
If you ever find yourselves looking to donate this type LSA, I have a police officer son who’s 2013 Zl1 🤮 two rods with only 16,000 miles on it. Shame, it’s a beautiful car that still looks new. Oh well GREAT videos, I’ve learned a lot from you guys. 😎
How many lbs of boost were you seeing with this pulley combo?
Fuel pressure 38 psi? 🤔
Should have put the magenson 2.3lt on it, then you will see so much charge cold air going in, instead of the 82 degrees temp, plus they dont show the temps at the manifold, which the LSA supercharger is not really efficient at all compared to the magenson IMO ? Plus they had a fan blowing at the intercooler heat exchanger and still had 82 degree hi temps?
Cold air going into the combusting chamber is the key to all hp figures and the right fuel as well and proper flow in the head sure, but even stock LS7 heads will be just as good, it depends what your going to use the engine for street / drags or a every day driven car, would like to see the engine put in the Cadillac and just see what she does in the 1/4 with stock running gear ie: auto and diff gears, my guess would be around 10's if that?
I like this show and this episode is several years old. Too bad I don't have access to the most recent episodes.
Y'all should do something with the Ford barra engines from Australia, they're a little hard to find in the states but they make dumb power
Need 1 7/8 headers
Was into this episode until Ed showed up. Dude is a POS. When a tuner like him cancels on customers and then proceeds to call them names when confronted about his unprofessionalism, it’s not good PR for the show to have someone like him on. To the show admin, I have emails from him to show the type of person he is.
Upgrading the bricks in the blower would make even more..jokers bricks for this blower would of set it off
How much?
She is a Sweetie
Now you guys need to stick it in something and do some burn outs!
