Thanks for my LT1 forged/rebuild, 800wHP.

I took some time off tuning my LY6 that I got from you, I haven't dynod it yet but its showing around 450HP in HP Tuners maths.

Great video Chad. Very good information that you shared with us.

Where’s the dyno test video ?

what a wonderful relic you have from your grandfather. I have a few from mine as well. he was a machinist too. we are lucky

Would love to see the BTR STAGE 3 V 2 CAM WITH FAST 102 COMBO RESULTS!

I would have mentioned the barbell in the oil system and the plug behind the timing chain cover. Don't forget to install them if removed.

What is the best 408 or 416 kit for a 2005 LS 5.3 build

That sound...nearly evil in power

What a fuckin powerband hell yeah

So where is the follow up video?

Nice torque numbers

Fine demo. I am curious on your traceability protocols if you have any. Do your builders credit their work?

Hmm, I’ve never put sealant on the intake manifold bolts. 28:01

Golen Engine #1 Drinking game. Take a shot every time Chad says 1000 horsepower.

Man my dad used to love your website, he even had a picture of his car on it years ago, he got a license plate that said golen then the number his car was listed. Anyway idk if you read comments but I just wanted to say thank you for bringing him joy.

Thanks!! Should do very well on 7-10 psi. 😁

Thumbs up!

Some very nice figures thete Chappie

Excellent video, thank you!

Great video. Seems like a package that would have a long service life. Curiosity has me wondering if a 95mm TB on the factory intake would have closed the gap a bit to the FAST, thinking the bigger displacement might be bottlenecked by the 90mm. Have you done any 408/416 setups with the recent Redhot or 400+ NA BTR cams?

Good numbers what cam is in it

Do you find it silly for automakers to put forged crankshafts, rather than install Quality con rods & a steel crank? A good nodular iron is far better than weak connecting rods. I've never understood the logic, not even profit wise.

what brand head gasket? great videos btw!

Thanks for the content🙏 You definitely know what your doing and talking about👍

Very good video 👍👍👍👍😄

Do the pump side of the pickup tube first or you will suck air from the oring.

When I torque something I set it 3-5 lbs short and then spec as the final check.

Chad knows motors, I have his 416 stroker in my GTO couldn't be happier and he stands behind his stuff

@golenengineservice What does the 3/4 turn on the rocker bolt do? I understand on a traditional SBC this is how you set lifter preload, but on an LS, pushrod length determines preload and the rocker arm is set. Not trying to be a jerk, just to understand, thanks!

In for the build. I have been researching this very build for awhile. With my build, I've considered a different head. I feel anything with a 2.165" intake valve is just too much head for a daily truck looking for torque. Budgets usually determine what we get to play with. But, I'm very interested in the cam testing. In my research, I found a cam that I feel might produce more torque. It's the Howards 190315-08 (210/214, .595/.598 108+4). Personally, I'd would like to test the CamMotion Titan2, but with a 109+4, instead of their 112+4. Can't wait for your results. Thanks.

Didn’t a very popular head porter , name Eric test your head porting to see if he could make it work better as he does with other heads and find that your heads were doing great?

Running a supercharged stroker sounds like risky business, but I’d love to know how this build compensates. Such a beautiful build.

Excellent video. I'm building a LM7. Gotta watch that part on the 3/4 to 1 full turn on the rods again

Great educational video. Thank you!

I would love too see how a truck norris cam works with a dual plane and carb

What is the supercharger behind you, when you are talking about the Truck Norris Cam? 🤔

Also my 258 AMC 😢

I need to fix my Daewoo Lanos 🎉

Do you have a problem with "Sewing Machine" noise on an LS? I own three of them (in truck / van no noise) and one that I upgraded (all OEM rotating assembly) for my Hot Rod, 1983 Camaro LQ9 6.0 Summit class 2 cam, chrome-molly push-rods, melling high volume oil pump, OEM rocker trunion upgrade, Cloyes roller timing chain. Car runs great, lots of power but, still that "clicking sound", I have re-checked torque on all rockers (22 lbs) twice on base circle, engine runs 55 LBS oil pressure (5w-30 Syn.) hot at idle. thoughts? Thanks.

Permatex High Strength Removable Threadlocker Orange Gel is better than Red Loctite. 👍👍👍

Great video, thanks for sharing the great info!

Thanks for your video. Is the best way for it

This is a great test ….But I’d like to see a test in car all else being equal ….LS3 intake vs the BTR which would provide a faster/quicker ET ? That’s what it boils down to….I know there are tons of variables….but are the 40ftlbs or so of torque loss at the bottom pre-5k worth the 20-30HP up top (till 7k)? That is the question……

The CLEAR winner is the stg2 with either the LS3 or FAST, The DRAMATIC loss of torque is JUST not worth it ! You WILL feel that difference !

Great videos. I'll have to watch the first video again to see head specs but on a bigger engine like this where does the MSD Atomic LS3 stack up vs. FAST LS3? I know the LS7 crowd loves that intake.

Excellent video!!! Very concise and straight to the point and you showed us the whole testing process in great detail! Keep them coming and hopefully you can do some boosted application next! 👍

So is this the end of the testing for the 416? IMO it's still way undercammed but it sounds like you don't think there's much to be gained by going larger.

If this is the V2 version of the BTR stage 2 LS3 cam, the specs are 221/24X, .624/.636, 112 LSA for those wondering.
