I like this guy, great videos man I have struggled trying to find information on this because Noone talks about this if something is rebuildable why by a new set and as far as mods go has everyone forgot about jetting carbs back in the day

The gurus and experts all started this way lol, now they want to pull the door shut behind them. Not a single "pro" was a pro the minute they were born. Would it be best to flow them? Sure, I guess, the factory doesn't though. Can you wreck your junk? Also yes, but then again "pro" built injectors do that too lol.

the LS gods sent me to the right guy. Would you recommend a stock ecu with aftermarket harness for a turbo sbe 5.3 in a 1st gen s10 (HP tuners) or the terminator x max system. Goal is be a 10 second 1/4 mile truck and roll race. Will be going 4l80e with manual valve body. I will also add analog gauges to it. Will be going to someone to tune it. Boost by gear seems real intriguing to use and what not. After all the add ons and extras on either set up. What is the best solution for the $$$$? Thank you in advance if you take the time to answer my question boss.
@TheDrivewayEngineerКүн бұрын
If you're genuinely going to use those features a Terminator or Holley HP is the way to go. Most people just watch Street Outlaws and decide they need all that and wind up with a disassembled truck and thousands of dollars

As annoying as this uninformed comment was, I feel no sympathy for someone who hops on the internet to buy an $800 part based off of a comment on the internet. Do your own research and for fucks sake call the company you are thinking of buying something that expensive from. They will let you know if their product works in your application because most companies want a happy customer to brag about the expensive shit they bought working so good. Even more true the smaller the company you buy from in my experience.

Wow! There should never be any question on the strength of a 4L80/85 transmission. Hannibal has a 4L80 behind his 572 CID big block with a ProCharger F3R-136, controlled by a Holley Dominator and he has been past 3,000 horsepower. He is a drag and drive car and I drive him every chance I get. He has been 1,200 miles of Sick Ward, towing a trailer. I purchased the unit from Jake's Performance of Texas in a Reid Case, but it was a TURD!!! The torque converter failed in only 120 miles. When I tore it down, I found that it was full of unlabeled, Chinese parts! I got with SOINNAX and installed EVERYTHING they made for the 4L80 along with Raybestos Blue Plate Special clutches and Colene Steels and I've had NO transmission issues since November 2023, he's over 1,800 miles at this point. I took Jake's 4 MONTHS to repair that converter, it took Neal Chance Converters 4 DAYS to make me a new one. Some lessons are expensive! That Jake's converter can go to a new home for the price of shipping, I'll never use it!
