[@MannyDelReal]

Amazing build bro👌🏼

[@jasonalward4720]

Temecula huh? I used to work at Home Depot in Temecula, back in 95' when I lived in Elsinore , I moved out to Escondido/ San Marcos area for a bit before coming back to the Beast Coast all the way back to the 860 area code in Connecticut. Definitely had a blast out there!!!

[@jonathanevans3007]

Man building motors and hearing that first start up is so therapeutic 🤙🏽

[@darrellblunt]

Damn good work guys. Watching Mike tighten that oil filter gave me PTSD. I did an oil change after he cammed my ZL1 and spent 45 min just trying to get the filter off. End result was I had to buy my first oil filter socket.

[@ejmarkle60]

She's coming along nicely

[@CamaroZLS]

Good job bro, I was like “ Come onnn Lethal Fire up baby “ and booyahhhhh Chop Chop Chop Chop ... see you next week

[@CamaroThings]

I love it!!! Soooo awesome that it is now pure racecar with the blower that's awesome.

[@albertalvarez5901]

Pretty nice sound out of that Baby... Good job on that build

[@allterrainadventures3385]

have not watched yet but super excited

[@jackstoepfer1494]

Really like that catch can setup.

[@erock7752]

Congratulations!! What a journey!!

[@albertgarcia7091]

I bet getting to the start up was overwhelming It’s when you find out if it all was done right o:

[@Schiada95]

Congratulations sounds heathy. 👍

[@marquism2920]

I think I'm run a stage 3 black edition 4l60e on my 95 impala and I went to build up my lt1 for 1000hp+.

[@raymondburkes5408]

Y'all did a great job on it

[@JakeM624]

Man I wish I could do cool stuff like this with my car! Maybe one day, when combustion engines aren't a thing anymore :(

[@Lethalgarage]

Fairly sure they will always be around

[@JakeM624]

@@Lethalgarage Let's hope so! They are fun to work on, and (IMO) are more exciting than electric motors.

[@allterrainadventures3385]

congrats bro sounds so good

[@DACoutBack]

Sounds good

[@Hogiewan1]

Congrats! Soaking the lifters might help next time!. Sorry I'm late to the party. Been working on my Camaro here!

[@ralphcruz8484]

Awesome

[@TheWolfMatt]

Love the progress on the car. Nice whipple btw. Cant wait to see it in action. BTW, would love to meet in person to do a little photo shoot of our rides. Have a 17 ZL1 in Red Hot that would make for some nice pics. Have anyone in the area with a blue one???? Take some patriotic photos/video of the cars would be great.

[@jamessteffen09]

Thats awesome! Sounds great! Coming from someone else who runs that brand oil, great to know under that kinda power, AMSOIL still holds up. Ive seen it on my data sheets from getting it analyzed but that just shows it with out the numbers. Cant wait to see the videos of this monster going down the track.

[@AKMoffat]

Putting a new TK Performance 1200hp rated transmission in my camaro and will be getting an FTI converter as well. What stall did you end up going with? I know yours is supercharged versus twin turbo, but I figured I'd ask.

[@gabrielbryant4631]

i thought the aluminium block chevy engines were ls1 not lt1

[@Avalanche2]

Motor? You going electric bro?

[@montoyagunn17]

I'm curious..What is that red looking box connected to your fuse box? Nice video by the way. Definitely time consuming.

[@Lethalgarage]

It’s a Boost-a-pump module

[@MustangGuru]

Keep in mind every one, This is a modern day LT1. Not the LT1 from the 90s

[@timothybahr893]

I didn't hear you say anything about bolting up the torque converter.

[@Lethalgarage]

It’s in the video. Kind of. I just bolted it up when I was plugging wires in :)

[@htxzl1]

Where did you put the jack stands under the car?

[@geraldwalker4655]

What made u got with a whipple over a Maggie

[@Lethalgarage]

At the time Whipple was king.

[@TexasStreetReaper]

What fuel system are you running? what injectors and upper and lower fuel pump are you using

[@Lethalgarage]

FIC high flow injectors, LPE big bore (V2) high side with a cam spec of 38% fuel lobe. LT4 low side drop in and the DSX auxiliary system with a boosta pump module.

[@TexasStreetReaper]

@@Lethalgarage niceee thanks brotha I appreciate the reply

[@Gypsy-yv8ev]

Hey brother what type of lifters are u uesing

[@Lethalgarage]

Johnson’s now.

[@lovedcups1999]

Why new engine i must have missed the video did old engine Blow ????

[@Lethalgarage]

It’s not new, just rebuild.

[@C10Derek]

Interested in selling that stock intake manifold?

[@Lethalgarage]

Sure $100

[@fasnuf]

Which BTR cam did you use? Thanks

[@Lethalgarage]

It’s a custom Cam Motion Stage 3 setup

[@fasnuf]

@@Lethalgarage very nice to have it back together

[@donniebaynard8430]

Bend your bill.

[@dannyeagles29]

How much all this cost

[@fasnuf]

Probably a ton.

[@raydelfa1125]

No disrespect, why don't you just buy a Zl1? Save yourself all the work.

[@Lethalgarage]

All what work? I’d still have to do the same things and would be into the car for $28k more.

[@raydelfa1125]

@@Lethalgarage but you would be starting out with 650hp rather than 450.

[@jasonalward4720]

A ZL1 doesn't come with that lower end with all the upgrades he did all the ZL1 parts would be on the floor after he was done anyway!!

[@mattdagger1480]

Does it make you upset you spent all that money and a mustang will beat you and cost less?

[@Lethalgarage]

I haven’t seen one yet.

[@jasonalward4720]

Not a chance in hell, what a GT500 , a super snake? Both of those cost more
