Love how this is filmed like one of those old school car shows on TNN.

[@joeythekid5042]

I’m doing an All wheel drive conversion to my 5th gen Camaro

[@ZeroBoostBuick]

To answer some stupid comments like why only 600hp ? Stock fuel system, stock transmission and emissions legal with the 2 factory catalytic converters. Some of the comments not very smart thinking you can just add a couple turbos and have reliable 1,000 whp.

[@dragking9735]

if you want a car to be reliable and can be used daily with a big power, 600-700hp is enough if you dont want your tranny and rods goes kaboom

[@MassageWithKlay]

@JMFA88 of course there is, you get to sell someone a second turbo and all the piping that goes with it :D

[@justinlabarge8178]

Yeah, why twins? Why not just supercharge it? The stock blowers go up to 700 horse and you don't have to mess with exhaust and Intake routing

[@jeffgallegos2748]

@JMFA88 Have you looked at exhaust routings for single turbo V8 systems. Packaging and installation issues are why twins are popular for V8 conversions.

[@dragking9735]

@Dave Micolichek to much pressure inside the combustion chamber can, even if you have low RPM if your Rods can't handle it due to boost pressure it will snap

[@srvdean3024]

---- FOR EVERYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ONLY MAKING 600 HP----- They are on stock camshaft, valvesprings, and pushrods. Understand that they're showing off just the kit. With updated valve train of course the kit would be able to run up WAY higher numbers.

[@jeffcroft10]

dean Smith and they even said it’s running on 9 lbs of boost. Sounds about right to me.

[@danield9021]

600 doesn't seem much at first until you see the gain. Stock it ran 383whp and 603 with just 9lbs of boost.... thats a 220whp gain just from pure boost a lil more fuel from the ever so slightly larger injectors.

[@armaggedon4christ]

600 is terrifying if youve never driven it....can get out of hand...rapidly

[@PurpleHeartVR]

If they removed the cats or put in higher flowing turbo designed ones and put the intakes in the fender, it could easily tap 650 or more...Maybe even use meth injection and hit 700 safely.

[@BIGGIEDEVIL]

@@armaggedon4christ so true most ppl commenting with there 200hp cars thinking they can drive a 600hp+ car easily

[@tyg1434]

It's crazy how HP numbers are doubled in the last 10 years. 600 hp is on the low end at the track today 🤷‍♂️

[@EdwardAlcala]

My thoughts exactly, I’ve been seeing a lot of comments about their build being so low on power with the money they spend on the builds lmao

[@sublazer]

Remember all the fun Cletus had on project ruby haha wouldn’t last long but big numbers.

[@EdwardAlcala]

Robert Barnes yeah true haha. And this is a tv show so they’re not going all out crazy lol

[@rickydyess8869]

Yeah showroom cars have that or more

[@1flynlow]

it was tuned very conservatively

[@CHUUMPASS]

very nice package, it looks like a factory stock option , nicely done ! especially love that it looks unassuming, well build and sorted. and it won't break the bank as all major components remain can be run and need not be replaced. really great !

[@EPICYELLOWHORSE]

600 is not going to raise any eyebrows, but these guys are far smarter than most. I know because I have been down this road before. I added twin 50's on my '00 Mustang GT with 8psi. First to go was the transmission in quick order. Rebuilt it, and it was quickly qranaded AGAIN. So, bought a heavy duty TKO 600. And then...the motor lasted a few short weeks before I had to replace it with a built unit. And then...fuel system, supporting mods, and 65K later it was finally done. In conclusion: "There is no way in hell the stock engine/transmission could hold anything more than what they tuned it for. Hell, they could have turned the boost up high enough to make a bomb..... BUT WITH A STOCK ENGINE? WHY!?🤔

[@25aspooner]

I’m not drilling into my oil pan with it in the vehicle. Metal shavings and engine bearings are not friends.

[@austindoud273]

It's aluminum won't hurt anything

[@NorthViewModelShop]

You can do it. Only when using a really good tap and lots of heavy grease and go very slow.

[@topherwayne4398]

Yup, thought that was stupid as well

[@otm646]

@Mr. Morningstar This it an absolute lie that's going to blow up someones engine. The oil pump intake screen is huge, 100 micron+

[@justinlabarge8178]

@Mr. Morningstar no, it implies that the pump can't pump enough with a screen smaller than 100 microns.

[@Aladinscave]

Ring gap is the limitation here 🧨 600hp is a save number, very nice kit 👌🏻🏁

[@zanastumasonis]

these guys know how to do a quick install wow, straight to the point, everything is ready

[@77kthomas]

Love how easy they make this look knowing damn well it isn’t easy

[@nickperryairsoft]

“Install time 6 hours” yeahhhh okay 😂

[@ronniehooperjr1]

Is it just me or did someone forget about the windshield fluid reservoir

[@simonmacomber7466]

It's not just you. With no windshield washer fluid reservoir, this car would not be street legal in my state.

Well it was only on 9lb of boost, so isn't really turned up

@@willydilly2158 plus they left the cats on maybe a few more horses if they took those off.

[@atribecalledkush4532]

I mean for a daily driver with an untouched engine, stock cam, transmission and rear end, its the best of both worlds.. And besides, you can always turn the boost up.

[@dragking9735]

what i love the must is this its just all plug and play, yes some needed to be relocated and remove yet there's no weldings or cutting ETC,

[@raabsand]

There's some series drilling into the pan tho

[@americansmark]

That's awesome. I'd love to drive that or the Hennessy Exorcist. 1000hp is insane.

[@nwbklr]

It’s a perfect street car around 600hp. You can take this to the canyons without killin yourself. What good is 1000hp up in the hills with non stop s turns and hairpins? If they wanted 700 they could’ve done a build for it. The episode isn’t called, “How much power can we get out of this camaro with an unlimited budget?”

[@carlitoblea4227]

John Urist New Mexico baby that’s where hellion turbo began

[@NorthViewModelShop]

What an amazing bolt on kit. Congrats to the team on this product.

[@94XJ]

Safe and reliable kit if you're not touching anything in the engine. Doesn't seem like much with the numbers guys are cranking out of 5.3s but keep in mind that, at the very least, they're filing rings and upgrading the valve train. You can't go crazy on stock rings or the ring expansion will cause the ends to meet and then push up or down busting apart the piston. Also, stock cam isn't an optimal grind for boost and stock valve springs will introduce valve float much sooner with boost behind them. This is a pretty straight forward bolt-on, plug and play kit. Pretty dang good for what it is, too. Small twins will spoil fast and feel about like a roots blower without any parasitic loss

[@MrYash310]

in 2014, GM offered the zl1 camaro with the LSA engine. it came stock with 585 horsepower. stock. with warranty.

[@PurpleHeartVR]

So, sell the SS and take out another 20-30k loan on a zl1? That 585 is at the crank...

[@MrYash310]

@@PurpleHeartVR Right, in 2014, the zl1 started around $55k (i know because i was looking in to at the time). The zl1 came loaded, packaged roughly with the same as a 2ss , which was around $40k. The ZL1 came with more track tools also. Yes, that is a difference of $15K. Don't know how much this kit cost at the time. Lets not forget that unless you know what you are doing, you will need to hire someone to install this professional (voiding the gm warranty). I'm guessing at the time, it would cost $7k to purchase this kit and install it (pulling that number out my ass to be honest). Would rather spend that $8k more and get something with a factory warranty. But I guess time has proved this was not a good investment. You can one for so cheap now used.

[@phoenixblack1220]

Man that was an awesome build! The part where I saw myself having to yank the engine is when they started drilling the oil pan. I’m the dumb ass that would dump the cut plug in the pan…

[@jakeeclouse4799]

Dude. I need this in my life.

[@brussell639]

Bolt on superchargers make 600 hp too. I don't know why they'd "sneeze" at that. The Z06 and ZR1 use Eaton "bolt on" superchargers. It is true that you can ultimately make bigger gains with twin turbos, but at 600 hp, they're still in the same performance range.

[@dougycarter9399]

Excellent video, So good to see a bolt on kit that's fits, with limited modifications, where can i buy this bolt on kit, please let me know, thank you..

[@oneshotme]

I thought they was close to that from the factory lol Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up

[@heroebennett]

i want to know how long the ls3 will last with that much more power and no internal mods

thats what ? roughly 750 or so at the motor , beautiful and efficient build.

Love these videos!! Please keep them coming! and with wide varieties of cars! Thank you!! I want to TT my 2011 Ram 1500 5.7, hope you guys can do something close to that 👍🙏

[@marcus8156]

This is great power for a stock engine and trans combo. And I bet you its only running about 7 to 9 pounds of boost. Thats nothing for a twin setup capable of 25+ pounds of boost. You rebuild the engine and trans with a better fuel delivery system and ect. You can easily make 1200 plus to the wheels with this setup

[@darrellcarter4143]

Yesss yesss,, should be 1000 hp

Everyone saying only 600 hp have probably never driven anything with that much power. Plus it’s a perfectly reliable daily driver. Honestly when are you gonna use 600 whp on the street

[@johnnelson8956]

I dont give a damn what they say, you dont drill and tap into an oil pan without removing it. The chance of getting metal shavings in the bottom end is too great. It wouldnt take much to totally screw up the crankshaft and rod bearings. And their goes your motor.

[@ericgomez9601]

That's why I love Ls engines soo much and Ls is a cheaper engine then a coyote 5.0 and you dont need to put hella money in the Ls engine unlike the coyote it's more expensive

[@choppaj247]

I know it's a dream but I hope one episode I see something like this on a 6.1 Hemi

[@koopaGG]

I get 600HP with a power adder on a stock motor but why bother with twin turbos if that's the goal? Seems like going with a blower (like a used one off an LSA engine that everyone has been doing for years) would be more economical and clean. Even with the prices going way up on the used market, it can still be done for less than half of this for similar results.

[@gradyturner3367]

ring end gap remains factory.....why? im sure i jus missed it

[@swampratt36]

The welding on the kit pipes looks like it was done in a high school welding shop . No hate just observation ! For that money it should be tigged not spray mig .

they just ask more because it's titanium, which at the end of the day just saves a bit of weight, they could easily sell exactly the same thing made out of mild steel, but then their profits would be so high .. because "TITANIUM"

[@realxflare]

Can the stock internals in the LS3 handle the horsepower, also is would the rear end need an upgrade so it doesn’t snap?

[@jasonalward4720]

The stock internals have held 800-900hp. But needs ZL-1 FP the axles can handle 1000. My guess for the weak link is the guibo couplers. I already tore 2 rears. 1 piece driveshaft and new carrier and sway bar n endlink bushings.

So there’s strapping on these turbos with the stock internals? Can anybody tell me how long this is going to pull like that before blowing up the LT1? I believe the LT one has forged connecting rods but can anybody tell me what else in the motor is forged and or can handle power like this?
