[@michaelbrown5601]

Real talk. You build your trucks to an OEM standard, to the point they could be daily driven, without AAA (which the Audi and VW require). You also don’t have to mortgage the house to go fast, unlike the Germans. The approach you bring to your builds is far more real-world than your old job. I appreciate this and your candor a lot. Keep going!

[@csr801996]

It's a never ending quest to go faster fueled by getting beat by people you race, my thing is there will always be someone faster, someone who puts more money and time into racing or going fast, but as long as it's fun for you then that's what counts. Keep up the content man!

Truck looks like it's running awesome, you held your own very well. I do lots of airstrip race events, I have a 700+ whp M5 and a tuned/upper/lower RR SVR and neither of them can hold up with a tuned RS3. Those are like the new "cheater" car, they weigh nothing, are awd, have a strong engine and you can tune them to the moon. A lot of those IROZ built ones are running 35-40psi of boost, they usually run with tuned GTR's. I'm definitely inspired to put an LSA on my H2 for some more gear holding grunt. Looks great man

[@GrandPitoVic]

Brother you did great!!!! 5,000 lbs and about 500 horse. That truck does great. The 4.8 just doesn't have enough to pull up top with a blower. A turbo would. But the blower is cool. The SOUND!!!! Think about a 6.0l I was in Richard Holdner's channel the night you came in. It's funny I was talking about you talking about having bad tires while roasting your tires in you 8.1L. LOL as soon as I got the room talking about you, you popped in for a minute and I guess left. Richard seemed to be flustered at the fact we were all talking about your crazy burn outs at the time. LOL man I love what you do. You don't follow the cookie cutter way. You are unique. Stay that way. It's what makes you different. Alot of us appreciate you for the way you are. You build bad ass trucks. Not cars. That stepside is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the wrap. The black on the hood looks great. Thanx for the content brother.

[@SaneCayne]

Stick with the dig! AWD for killer launches. SC for low-end grunt. You've got the perfect beast for drag racing AND speed-stopping. (Sucks you don't have a regular drag strip near you though.)

[@oldschool7522]

Awsome work! I’m interested in how much longer that 4l60E will last. Pretty impressive so far. That little 4.8 is packing a big punch, got to keep in mind that blue Audi probably had $30k more in it that what you put in that 4.8.

Nice truck, even if not optimized for roll racing! One small editing suggestion-I’d add a two-second clip showing the negative battery connection being taken off before getting a wrench near that alternator! Love your content LT!

[@jonsquatch]

Would have been a great time to put an open pulley on so you can access the bolts on the pump easier so you don't have to pull the pulley off to remove it. I went to an Innovators West 8 rib set up with an overdrive main pulley and under drive pulley on the pump to save it a bit which helps out.

[@ticojason8868]

Awesome truck! Don't ever under estimate the power to weight ratio of those smaller cars/trucks! I have a Supercharged / nitrous Cobalt SS and it sucks from a dig... It spins even with drag radials and the entire 1st gear is pointless... But power to weight, I've beaten many vehicles that would beat me from a dig... This is one of my favorite channels.... Motivates me to want to do something to my 4.8 Silverado. Love the content..... And you'll get better with the truck

[@budbeard4175]

Hi LT. I believe a 4L80 will help your performance on the drag strip. The gear spacing is much closer than in the 4L60. Your (small) displacement engine needs to stay in the upper part of the power band. Have you ever considered a 6L80 or 6L90? Launching my Yukon Denali is impressive for a totally stock vehicle. Miss You on Trucks. Glad to see you are still around. Bud

Removing the tailgate or fitting a cover will up the top end speed a little , 10 to 30 mph and fitting a proper cold air intake will increase power if you can get some ram air with it.

Hey bud. I'm usually not one to ask for help, but I'm feeling extremely defeated by my tune. I use hp tuners also, and really need a hand out of the trenches. 2002 Yukon, 5.3, flat top Pistons, sloppy stage 2 cam. Specs (Adv. Duration: 283/286,Duration @ .050": 228/230,Lift: .585/.585,Lobe Separation: 112 LC) set to standard cam timing. Comp cam roller rockers, standard length comp pushrods, comp 386 rate springs. Port polished 862 heads, stock valves. Gen 4 rods. Nv3500 5 speed swap, with all the pcm factors and wiring programed for five speed. Stock injectors, aftermarket fuel pressure regulator dialed to 60psi with return. Anyways, I guess what is baffling me is I tried different injectors and all seems the same. Falls on its face at full throttle. Idle is dialed in, added to the iac to compensate for the cam, I feel like it's injector timing because of the big cam. Now, if you, or anyone else reading this can help a fella that is basing my assumption off carburetor understanding, it feels like the accelerator pump isn't working. Idles, half revs, but the more gass you give the flatter it falls. Tried bumping up the ve table, power enrichment, adding air. Nothing changes. Wideband says it's ok. Long and short fuel trims are normal. Seems it's starving for fuel at higher rpm. Fuel should hit the valve right before opening, how can I change my injector timing to do so? Any help is greatly appreciated

You could also change the power steering pulley for a larger diameter. I'm using an s10 p/s pump with a dodge caravan pulley to keep the pump alive while shifting @ 7800 rpm

[@myrabbitmoose]

I don’t know what your budget will be for a new engine when you replace the 4.8. But GM recently came out with a 6.6 gas engine that’s a brute. Speaking from the experience of driving several of the box trucks and cargo vans that they’re coming in, it’s a very impressive engine. It’d probably pair very well with your supercharger.

[@Hammerback0]

Looking under the hood of the Mitsubishi, I must say LT, you do goo clean work. I’d rather have a 500 Hp 6,000 lb truck built by you, than a 700 hp, 2500 lb truck that is a total hack job. That is meant to be a compliment by the way.

Congrats LT, that pickup is a beast. What would I do? I'd build a 6.0 or 6.2 for it! No replacement for displacement, and SO much better breathing with a 4"+ bore!

[@GrandPitoVic]

Try upgrading the power steering pump that most GM cars and some of the trucks run with the remote reservoir. They are made to turn RPMs. The Saginaw you are running doesn't take high RPMs very well. The smaller one they run on later trucks, vettes, Impala, and pretty much alot of the cars lol.

[@mrmatt7210]

Having grown up around Airforce bases, I couldn't help but to think of the F4 Phantom II while watching your truck race. Quote from the net "There is no particular reason for the world's love affair with the F-4 Phantom. Beautiful it was not, nor graceful, nor aesthetic.

Roll racing is for those who have more power than there chassis/suspension can handle from a dig, that is not what you have with the awd. They are highway bruisers, yours is a boulevard bruiser. No way you should feel bad, that truck is badass, I wanted to build a 2wd stepside until I had seen your awd conversion, now I am on the lookout for a clean southern truck to copy what you have..... except I would go 6.0.

[@jacobmartin1951]

Hey LT great videos man! I’m really enjoying your channel. Just wanted to touch on your power steering pump. I’ve swapt my factory fluid to the amsoil synthetic power steering fluid. My last pickup has over 510,000kms on that pump and I rev the crap out of that truck all the time. Pulling trails or just daily driving. Never had an issue with it.

[@Jaribm]

For what it's worth, my 4.8l with a btr stage2 cam, gen3 78/75 and 4l80e 2wd ran best et of 10.67 @129mph last year. Maxed out 80lbs injectors 18.5psi. Brake boosted to 14ish psi she flew! This thing is gona be a rocket as well 🚀

[@LilJayV10]

LT, it's probably already been said but if it hasn't....if the truck had EGR and you aren't using it, you can add a fuel pressure sensor to the EGR circuit and transform in it HPTtuners and log it that way. Or if you have the HPT pro link you can add it in that way too. Personally I would rather log it than add another gauge that you may or may not be able to watch at WOT.

[@MohawkMotors]

Wow! That blue Audi was insane! You've definitely gotten way more bang for your buck than he did though.

[@hunterdan2002]

Keeping up with the cts-v is an accomplishment itself. He had a power/weight advantage and you essentially kept up with him until aerodynamics started to hit you. I'd be curious what kind of difference a closer ratio trans like the 6l80 would make. It'd be a shorter 1st gear, and the closer ratios should keep you in your power band rather dropping several thousand rpm between shifts. The ram trucks running the 8hp70 are significantly faster in the quarter than the 6 speed autos making the same power/gearing. I bet a built 6.0 and 6l80 would be significantly faster all around.

[@jimmyandtommy1]

Just as an oddball suggestion for your little truck, maybe a vq25det from an m35 Stagea. Should fit nicely and gives you a good base to build from, can always drop in a vr30ddtt later.
