Thanks for the kind words mate! Feel free to share the channel haha

[@bradpatterson1949]

Definately. Well smart build and tips jus very schooolish. Have some fun. Throw a chook at the dawg haha nice work lads. And well done for actually hepling the customer. Not just bandaids

[@tonycarbone6247]

What a nice dad supporting his son , I feel the same though and I'm just a storka

[@datdom34]

Now I want a "It is what it is" shirt and a "If it's not clean enough to eat off, it shouldn't go in your engine" shirt. You're doing great work and love it when I see a new upload mate

[@shaun97346]

Killing it as always fellas! Great watching the business and channel grow

[@haydensmith9064]

i just did this exact build myself but stock cam and converter. just did valve springs. made a healthy 550rwhp and 813nm and is a great daily :)

[@haydensmith9064]

also before you bolt on the supercharger make sure has a solid isolator in it as my brand new one did not and became noisy within weeks

[@BoostGumps]

@@haydensmith9064 thanks for the info mate! Sounds like fun, im very jealous i want one of my own 🤣

[@haydensmith9064]

has nothing on your builds mate but keeps me happy :) thanks for the reply

[@roytrenneman2200]

That's awesome to know!

[@ighfee]

Damn that's a lot of torque mate 😜

[@paladinjosh8272]

Blue extractors are pacemakers btw guys. Running them on my s2 wagon

[@BoostGumps]

Genie extractors are also blue, so are Lukey extractors. Pacemakers always have a "Pacemaker" plate on them as well, which is why I believe these ones are Genies

[@van14590w]

Good work lads

[@bradpatterson1949]

Have some fun like skid factory love your work. Some giggles would go along way nice works guys

[@hooptiehill]

Trunnion failure happened to me because a shop installed garbage part. I have 8-9 needle bearings unaccounted for so they must be at the bottom of the oil pan just like that. I was told it will be fine :) I did CHE upgrade and it's been good for over a year. I need to remove the pan and clean it at some point but it's sad how stupid hard GM made it to remove.

[@gqy60stephankarolyi41]

Always waiting for something amazing to happen

[@juliuslemeki3835]

Great video guys, I have liked and subbed. Keep up the good work.

[@MafiaboysWorld]

Thanking God that I've got the full gasket kit, I wouldn't want to face Rex's wrath. 🤣👍

[@jackbaker7346]

Hey mate great series, do you know the part numbers you used for the idlers and tensioners? Looking to do this same swap but in a patrol, cheers

[@bigal878]

The Magnuson 2300 blower would have been a heap better choice than the LSA blower. Anyway I’m sure it will still go good.

[@BoostGumps]

Yeh but still nearly double the cost

[@ighfee]

I got a Magnusson put on mine yeah not cheap but goes like a dream. $11,000 for the charger, $2000 to fit and dyno tune.

[@michaelgleeson1198]

Great content as always and Rex in a bad mood probably not the guy to around when someone has done the dumb thing with the gasket, I did wear my long sleeve Lep Lab shirt today to lunch and Bunnings

[@BoostGumps]

Thanks for wearing the merch!! 💪

[@bundak77]

Awesome mate im interest in my 2008 ss upgrade 260kilo can i get expected budet for that.Thanks

[@rileyclinton8981]

Dream job 😍

[@tonycarbone6247]

What a nice father to write that for his son , even though i feel the same and im only a storcar

[@trentdawg2832]

I'm getting ready to add a lsa to my l96....I was wondering if I'm able to still use my corvette filter/regulator?????

[@thomaskelly7004]

Whats need to bolt on done alot oil pump , trun and bearing upgrades all new cam pack vcm883 and all new gasket and bearing kits and new piston rings and new lifters have list whats done but wanting to superchager just want i dears on what i can do as to bolt on or do need more upgrades to do so looking 600 hp

[@jamestehuna5915]

Cool content mate we’re about’s in Australia 🇦🇺 are you

[@roytrenneman2200]

Great video mate!

[@Mataz007]

i had a drink every time you said trunion upgrade and now I can't say onion

[@lsgemini7686]

Have you ever come across a LS cam that didn’t match when dialing it in

[@joshuacapilitan1475]

Those are pacemakers extractors mate

[@jakob31448]

Just out of curiosity how much can you find supercharger kits for these for? All the ones I’ve found are pretty much 15 grand. I feel like it’d be heaps cheaper to go turbo? What’s your 2 cents on it?

[@bigroger1989]

Idk what u mean by 370hp good outta a 6ltr with headers exhaust cam intake and tune should be sitting at atleast 430hp mark regarless of auto manual

[@BoostGumps]

Absolutely not. 430hp is what you would expect from a half decent cam with those mods through a manual. A stock cam 6L through a manual with full exhaust and intake with tune will go about 360-370hp. For a baby cam in an auto, 370 is pretty decent.

[@bigroger1989]

@@BoostGumps mate 370hp there’s gotta be something not right a ls1 makes that power easy enough ur telling me a ls2 regardless of the cam it’s all in the tune either whoever tuned it hasn’t got a fkn clue or the motor ain’t to happy

[@BoostGumps]

@@bigroger1989 it’s not an LS2, its completely different. I have done more LS packages than I care to remember. I know what sort of power they make. 430whp from a baby cammed rectangle port through a 6L80 is pretty good. With a decent cam and a little taken off the heads you could expect 420-430. The same setup in a manual will go 430-440.

[@BoostGumps]

@@bigroger1989 an LS1 makes 370hp “easy enough” with, you guessed it, a decent cam…. A baby cam like this in an otherwise stock 5.7 might go 340-350

[@huseyinyildiz3083]

How much does it roughly cost to fit a lsa blower?

[@Mike-ry4ti]

7:25 I am in the market for a stock VE SS ute, does this happen to stock engines or is this a result of someone working on it who does not know what they are doing?

[@samgalea8454]

When the trunions let go. You said it goes into your sump then if it gets sucked up goes into your oil pump. What would happen after that

[@BoostGumps]

Most likely kill your oil pump

[@ernestsmith3469]

It would destroy the oil pump gears - I reckon.

[@damianhartigan4]

Why didnt the bottom end get done also. thought full rebuild would have been better idea

[@BoostGumps]

The engine had fairly low KMs, and didnt present any bottom end issues. Due to GM using all Torque to Yield fixing in their engines a simple rebuild actually becomes fairly expensive. For the cost of doing so we didnt feel it presented any real advantage for this particular engine

[@damianhartigan4]

Thanks for the reply

[@benjamincole659]

Rex needs some safety sunnies to go with his safety thongs

[@mrsabidji]

I like those engine building ASMR-but-not-really-ASMR episodes. So soothing. #angryrex #pinseverywhere #adamandrexpodcastftw

[@kryptux2463]

Bid day of head aye? Haha

[@11rollercoaster]

L98 engine with 6 speed auto that's odd. I thought L76's were auto and L98 were manual.

[@BoostGumps]

Nah plenty of L98 Autos around in the early VE. Just the later ones were differentiated as the AFM was only available in Auto which was the L76. Untill the L77 (Flex Fuel) came about which replaced both, just that the AFM (DOD) wasnt activated on the Manual Cars

[@panika2810]

Cant believe that junk in the shaft 😐

[@dcr1545]

Doing good for young guy's. In saying that the workshop is a mess. Your work benches r over crowded and a mess. Personally I prefer to go to much more organised organisation. Bring on the hater's but it's fact

[@BoostGumps]

It is what it is. We are a very diverse workshop particularly for our size. We do the best with what we have

[@dcr1545]

@@BoostGumps good reply. One must look to improve at ALL times. There is no room for excuses. All tools and part's have allocated locations and should be there without fail. No bench should have anything other than what U require at that given time. I say this and could say so much more as I believe in U and where your company could go if U be harder on yourself. Have a great weekend in the shop I hope young man

[@dcr1545]

@@BoostGumps if I may say one last thing. With what U have U say. Some of the greatest monuments have been built with only rocks craved from a hammer and a piece of iron and using a piece of string. No steel, no big modern machinery, just will with ZERO excuses and only problem solving. These monuments still stand 3000 year's later. Do U think Mr Sanders made excuses? No ha solved problems to create what U C today KFC. Young man excuses r for loser's. R U a loser? I didn't think so. Excuses turn into regret and regret will haunt U when U r old like U cannot believe. U hold the key to what can be a 3000 year old industrial war horse that will guarantee the future of your family forever. That's all from me. Take care and give everything U have. Everything.

[@BoostGumps]

Damien Robinson i appreciate the feedback, really i do. I would love to have a spotless workshop where we work through one job at a time. But this just isnt the reality for us. Due to the current world situation (covid) and our location, the need for any one part can set any job back well over two weeks. As such in order to maintain efficiency we generally have a massive amount of projects happening at any one time. Couple this with the fact we do engines, general mechanical, minor machining, tuning, paint and panel, fabrication and wiring. On 4x4, jdm/drift, old school, LS etc, it does get a little cluttered and messy, but it works for us at the moment. We have grand plans to expand, but it is slow as we dont want to kill our love or this by going into debt to do so.

[@dcr1545]

@@BoostGumps I appreciate your reply. Maybe U should look into franchising which would reduce your overheads and start the ball rolling on purchasing in bulk which will reduce your cost further. Inventory management is a very easy process and a storing location within your shop would take up very little space at present. With that it would reduce all the unused items/parts lying around. Cycle counts done weekly will allow U to understand what parts U r short on and in turn control future purchase processes. Am I saying that the Rd will be easy? Yes and no. It depends on what U believe that is what controls everything. without risk there is NEVER rewards. Take care and I will continue to watch your progress.
