355hp to the wheels out of a 4.8 that’s amazing. I seen a kid here on KZbin with a 5.3 stage 4 cam pushing out 355hp to the wheels. You lost about 20% through the drivetrain. So 355hp +20% = 426hp you pushing at the crank.

[@TheKingCoopa]

Right! I'm super happy with it. My cam is just slightly larger than the btr stage 4 cam. Plus I have milled heads and the tbss intake, ect. But I was surprised it did so well. I've even had a few people argue with me, saying I was lied on the dyno results lol

[@mirabalmedia]

@@TheKingCoopa I can’t wait until I get my Silverado done. I’m doing a 6.0L bored 30 over.

@@piercesgmc9112 not bad. So that means at the crank you are pushing out 408hp. I'm still working on my Silverado. Hopefully, I can drop my engine in today. I'm still thinking about how much HP my engine is going to push out. I'm guessing I'll probably push out around 380hp to the wheels & 456hp at the crank. We will see when I get my truck tune & dyno.

[@james10739]

A precent is not a good number really it's more like a flat rate for the drive train and then maybe like a 1% 2% because because I mean if you had one of those with a v6 making I don't know probably putting down like 100hp on the Dyno vs his at 355hp the losses are about the same

Same here. I’m doing a resto mod 85 Monte SS with the same combination but with 862 heads with a light port and polish. I’ve been debating on the TBSS intake but I think it will be worth it.

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, that sounds awesome! Should definitely be a fun car. And I can't give exact HP results, because I did alot of mods at the same time. But some people claim the tbss is about 10-15 more hp over the stock truck intake. So I guess you have to determine if the cost to HP ratio is worth it

[@BDauto86]

My guess was 330ish. The LS platform is underrated from the factory for sure tho. None the less 356wheel is awesome on a 4.8 scan daily, that truck is prob alot of fun.

Oh for sure, they are definitely a fun platform, easy to make power and easy to fix. 356hp is definitely strong for the 4.8, I've even had people call me a liar, saying I forged the dyno 😅😅. It's definitely fun around town. It does pretty good for roll racing, but from dig, she is a tank lol. Takes forever to get to the high rpms.

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hell yea 🤘 thats cool. And for the injectors I am not 100% sure they would fit. Just from all the research I've done, everyone goes with tbss injectors, 8.1L injectors, or gets injector risers. Because I believe they are slightly taller. I've seen dudes run the regular injectors, but I don't think they have a snug fit. Also here is my video on the tbss swap, if your bored.

[@xryzerr]

nice truck bro , i have a completely stock 2004 4.8 right now would you recommend swapping it to a 5.3 or just build the 4.8 with a similar build you have on your truck

[@TheKingCoopa]

Thank you! Nice man, nothing wrong with that! the 4.8L is a stellar motor for high HP. Honestly it all depends what your wanting. If your long term goal is boost, then I'd just stay with the 4.8L. They handle abuse and boost REALLY well. Same goes for the 5.3L. The HP gains you would get from the swap really wouldn't even be worth the time. The gen III 5.3 makes between 285-310 from the motor. The gen III 4.8 makes 255-280. Its alot of time, effort, and money for only 5-50hp gains. If you want to stay NA, then I would do the swap to a 6.0L LQ9, that would actually be worth the time and money. The LQ9 makes 345hp. Not sure if you've seen any of my recent videos, but I did buy a 6.0 LQ9. Currently at the machine shop right now. Getting hot tanked, bead blasted, honed, new bearings, and new piston rings, getting gapped for a 200shot of now. So with the LQ9 and my current cam/mods. Im hoping for about 400-420hp to the wheels, and about 600hp on the nitrous. Also know with the little 4l60e, depending on your long term HP goals. You might wanna look at a 4l80 swap for boost. Or lightly building the tranny if your NA. Because they are junk trannys and don't last long under more HP. Hope that helps.

[@xryzerr]

Thank you for the information bro it helps a lot, I was thinking of staying NA since this truck would be my daily and I just want to have some fun with the truck nothing to crazy going the forced induction route, so im in between saving up money to buy a lq9 6.0 or just build my 4.8. How much did it cost you to tear down the 6.0 and do everything on it ?

[@TheKingCoopa]

Obviously not winning alot of races with the 4.8 lol. But with a mild cam. It makes it super fun!! I also had the tuner and remove torque management, So there is zero throttle response delay. Its a little harder on the tranny though. I looked for 4 months to find an LQ9. The LQ4 6.0 motors are super common, but they don't make as much power because of the dished pistons. I ended up having to pay 1,200$ for the complete LQ9 motor. And all the machine work i stated above is $1,000 out the door.

Hey, they are 285/45R22, with 22x9 wheels. I really like the tire size, makes it look proportional. Im on a 2/4 right now, planing to do a C notch and a 4/6. I know ill rub on the front inner fender liner. Ill probably have to do a mini tub on the front fenders. Idk yet. We shall see once it starts rubbing 😅 but that will be the lowest I go, since I still use it as a daily, and a work truck.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

@@TheKingCoopa I certainly wouldn't go below 285/40r22, myself. If I couldn't fit that under a truck, I'd MAKE it fit. Saw one guy on the Ram forums do a full tub to fit a 32" tall tire (like a 305 on a 22) under a 5/7 drop. That was pretty cool. Anyway, if you're set on these wheels, that's what I'd do when I went 4/6, I'd make this size or the 40's fit. Only thing I'd change was maybe a 10 wide week for a straighter/micro-stretched sidewall. Dunno. Also, when you do a C-notch, you should look up structural integrity maps of them before you do it. There are really only 2 designs that either maintain 80% + frame strength, or INCREASE frame strength when you notch. Not an edit, but, 10 minutes later: Here, I found the thread for ya.

I want a little lower though, so I plan to go to a 4/6 drop this winter, and do an under bed notch (little larger than a C notch) just because i still use it as a work truck, and if I decide to go even lower in the future. But I know the lowest you can go with out a C notch is a 4/6 drop, and shaving the bump stops. Some guys don't slap the frame, and some guys do. So I guess it depends how you drive the truck and if you haul alot.

I hav a performance 6l lq9 in my truck that has the same power as the video, tell me why your getting that power out of a 4.8?

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Its probably because its a hub dyno. Every dyno is different. It's all just numbers, it doesn't really mean anything. A dyno is a tuning tool, and that's it, other than that its just ment to hurt your feelings haha. On my new setup, I swapped to a built LQ9 6.0L, Frankenstein stage 2 heads, massive camshaft, 3800 stall, 10% under drive pulley, e fans, no A/C, with drag wheels, and it made 430whp. All those bigger mods, just to gain 70hp seems pathetic haha. It makes 580whp on nitrous. But its all just numbers. Power to weight ratio and 1/4mi times are the real numbers to worry about. Yea, your 6.0L and my old 4.8L made the same numbers, but I garentee that you would spank it in a race. Don't get caught up in the dyno number game, its always a lose, lose scenario.

[@jimmytedrow4146]

I wonder what it would make on a wheel dyon? The rotating mass of those 22's has got to hurt those numbers!

Oh I'm sure they do! They definitely hurt the 1/4mi times. Stock trucks were running faster 1/4mi times lol, couldn't get it to leave fast enough. Since this, I've sold the 22s, went to custom forged drag wheels and M/Ts. Built 6.0/4l80e/AWD, and 250shot of nitrous. Still finishing up some loose ends, and I'll have some new content on it soon.

Hey man i have a 07 Silverado 4.8 i want to make it faster without camming it so far i have a cold air intake ,muffler delete and resonator delete what else should i do without a cam?

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, sorry for the late reply. The camshaft is gonna give you the best bang for your buck and it will really wake the truck up. Everything else is just supporting mods. But i would do Long tube headers, and 4.10 gears. Gears won't necessarily add horsepower but it will help the low end acceleration, Which will make the truck a lot quicker. Also keep in mind, anytime you do performance mods like airflow or fuel changes a tune is highly recommended. Or else you're not truly maximizing the power of your cold air intake and exhaust. If you do get a tune you can have them remove the speed limiter and torque management. Removing torque management will give you 0 throttle response delay, but it is harder on your transmission though. If you were wanting even more power you could always do NNBS/TBSS intake manifold swap, With a 90mm throttlebody, and some 243 heads.

[@kennybarnes8019]

Are those numbers at the crank or wheels? Awesome build!

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, it would be considered at the wheels. Technically with a hub dyno, it reads the hp coming off the hub/axle. He can accommodate the rotating weight of the wheel/tire in the software. If the engine was on an engine dyno stand, with no tranny. That would be considered crank HP.

[@lucasgiunta6848]

@@TheKingCoopa sorry, I guess all of them. What would be a good cammed, lowered setup for daily driving year round (in the Midwest)? And if I only want maybe 350 hp do I need to build the transmission?

[@TheKingCoopa]

Oh boy haha. So I have a 226/234 112+4 crane cam. Which is slightly larger than the BTR stage 4 truck cam. Pretty mild cam, and I still daily it haha. Most camshafts past 215-220 duration, you will probably want to go with a little larger stall/tourqe converter. You can't go wrong with a BTR stage 2 or 3 truck cam. Super common camshafts and everyone loves them. Great for a daily. For the lowering kit, id recommend a 2/4 drop. Thats what I have on the truck in this video. Easy to install, cheap, and still rides great. Anything past that you will want to C notch the frame so the axle has room to travel. I'm currently going to a 4/6 drop right now. The 2/4 you can still fit some fat tires, and drive it offroad/snow with no issues. (I made a video drifting mine in the field, then smashed the front end lol) If you buy a 1500, it will come with the 4l60e transmission, which is complete junk. Yes you may only make 350 hp, but at the crank it is around 400-410ish that is getting pushed through that tranny. Those transmissions don't have a high rating. So at some point it will eventually go out on you. If you buy a 2500, those usually came with the 4l80e unless you find an 8.1/Alison combo. But they didn't make the 2500 in a single cab short bed combo, if thats what your wanting. But those 4l80 trannys are ALOT stronger.

[@lucasgiunta6848]

@@TheKingCoopa I've heard that 4l60es are garbage so I figured I'd get your opinion. The body style of the truck isn't a huge deal to me so would it be beneficial to get a 2500 or build up a 4l60e/swap a 4l80e into a 1500

[@TheKingCoopa]

It would be cheaper to buy a 2500 with the 4l80, then doing the swap into the 1500. 2500s are better for towing, and have stronger/beefier parts on them. But they are alot heavier compared to a 1500. I know you said daily, not a race truck. So I'd look for a 2500 with the 6.0L motor. The 8th digit of the vin number is the engine code. U is an LQ4. N is an LQ9. You want the N, because they have flat top pistons and make more power, but they can be kinda hard to find. The U is VERY common. I just bought an LQ9 6.0L to swap into my single cab.

With the gen III rods, most people recommend about 600-700, reliably. But I think the world record on a stock bottom end 4.8L is like 1,3XXHP done by like motortrend.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I replied to your comment a long time ago, but its not there. I assume by now you figured out the issue. Id probably swap to AN braided lines. Those hold up really well. But if it is blowing off a 250psi rated line than you Definitely have an issue somewhere. I dont know alot about transmission internals. I'd honestly take it to a reputable shop and im sure they can figure it out right away.

[@claytonwhitacre1335]

Do you have a part number for that cam? She makes good numbers!

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, I do not. It was a custom grind cam. It was originally spec'd out for my C5 corvette. This was my old setup, I ended up putting the cam in my C5 and swapped the 4.8L to a built 6.0/4l80e/nitrous. But there are plenty of great truck camshafts out there. Or you could always call cammotion or crane crane cams and have one spec'd out to your needs and setup

I'm in the middle/end of my swap, down to the wiring, I'm wondering what getting a tune cost ? And if I used Holley Terminator X Max, do I still need to take have it tuned.

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, so my first initial tune cost me 300$ but That's with a well known tuner, anti came to me. The 1st tune took about 3 and a 1/2 hours. Some notifications like mine are very drastic, in the truck only idle for 5 minutes before it would follow the plugs. So I couldn't drive anywhere. They dyno cost was like 120, plus 80 for the extra tuning. Ended up being about 5 runs on the dyno and gained me an additional 30hp from more indepth tuning. So with a factory computer, there are certain limitations on them for the software they run, and the tuning. Terminator X is a standalone setup. So there's basicly no limitations, easier to tune, and you can basicly do whatever you want. Being that it is a fresh unit, it has no idea what modifications you have done, or even what motor is in it. So yes, it will still need a tune. Terminator X is primarily for when you wanna run crazy HP, full race truck build, engine swap not traditional to your factory harness, or doing an engine/tranny swap in something super old. Regardless it will still need a tune. Also know that we'll known tuners can be booked 2-4 months out. It's a long time to wait, but id rather have someone who knows what they are doing. Instead of a rookie blowing up my motor, trying to save 100$ on the cost of a tune. Hope that helps 🤘

[@kevinwest3689]

@@TheKingCoopa thank you very much, and well crap" sounds like you're saying it's got to be tuned either way, I was going to spend all my lunch money on Terminator for future mods because it's supposed to be self learning ,and there isn't a tuner within a hundred miles of my location.

Instead of asking advice I'll give you some, for the cost of the tuner, the wait times you speak of, and the fact that you plan on putting nitrous on that little truck, you should go by Terminator X or x max.

Wsup buddy, I have a 03 ss awd blk on blk low miles. I'm considering a3inch lift with a new suspension. what's your opinion on the lift ?? Let me know. Thank you

[@TheKingCoopa]

Oh nice, gotta love the black on black SS 😎 so for a 3in lift, alot of the bigger name brands might not make a lift that small. (Fabtech, mcgaughys, full throttle suspenesion, etc.) I think they make a 6in lift and larger kits. I have a 2/4 mcgaughys drop on the black truck and fabtech lift on my white truck, both good kits. Some people might tell you to get lift keys, then crack them up to get the front end to 3in. Thats going to ride like trash, not always allowing your suspension to fully function. Its also going to cause alot of your front end parts to wear down faster, since there is extra stress on them. Ideally for lifting, your gonna want a kit that has aftermarket crossmembers in the front with lift spindles. Those crossmembers are going to drop your lower A arms and front diff down a few inches, which will allow your suspension to operate just like normal, but with your truck lifted. I know rough country sells a 4in lift lit, everything included for like 999$ they arnt the greatest, but still make decent lift kits. Then turn your torsion keys down just a few turns to give you the desired 3inches. That just my personal opinion. If you want to get lift keys, you can. They are definitely alot cheaper, but your ride quality is going to suffer. Also id stay away from doing a 3in body lift. Separating the cab from the frame 3in, is going to pull on your wire harness, brake lines, etc. So alot of it won't clip into factory locations on your frame. Somtimes it pulls the ebrake cable, and you can't even use that anymore. Body lifts arnt worth it IMO. I know thats alot of info, but hopefully it helps you out some. Just remember, you can't lift a Cadillac and expect it to still ride like a Cadillac. Lifting or lowering a vehicle is always going to effect the ride quality, just a matter of what degree and Quality parts you use.

Oh okay, that makes more sense now. That larger stall is probably robbing a little bit of power, not a big deal. I think the only way to gain more power, if you didn't want to do more mods, would be increasing the rpms to like 6100 or 6200, and see where your cams power band dies off after. Not sure, all cams are different, you might be maxing that cam out at 5200rpms. But playing around with the tune might help you out too.

What’s your compression at with the 243 heads

Hey, honestly not sure. I had the heads milled .15. From what I've herd every .05 milled adds about .25 of compression. A stock 4.8 makes 9.4:1. So with the milled heads its probably close to 10.2:1

[@lukemorgan3368]

243 heads are right at 64.45 ccs for the head chamber volume (unmilled). I know my gen 4 4.8L is stock as of now and came with 243s from the factory. Every compression ratio calculator I’ve used online has put it around 9.2-9.29:1 with the factory .051 head gasket. Older 4.8s with the 706/862 heads were definitely higher CR because of the difference in head chamber volume. Considering many LS engines have their pistons anywhere from -.005 to -.008 out of the hole that number can very ever so slightly.

Realistically, for the: camshaft, .660 valvesprings, shorter pushrods, 243 heads, headwork, ls7 lifters, trunion rebuild, tbss intake, 36lb injectors, ls3 90mm throttle body, X-Link, S&B cold air intake, ls9 head gaskets, longtube headers, catless Y pipe, amd alot of ARP hardware, i spent about 2900$ Thats probably more than most people spend, but I made sure it was all quality parts, and everything was built right. New water pump, melling oil pump, ngk plugs, all new gaskets and knock sensors, etc. Etc. I also have another $2100 in the tranny build, shift kit, and 2600 tourqe converter.

[@joshua7164]

That actually isn't as steep as I thought it would be... I looking to ls swap my obs it's a 91 GMC and I got about 3500 I'm looking to put into motor and tranny... I just got the original 5.7 built and just not satisfied...

[@TheKingCoopa]

@@joshua7164 oh nice, that will be pretty sweet! And it's pretty easy to get some good power out of the LS platform. A big cam, and good heads really wake them up! Also the 4.8L and 5.3L with stock bottom ends, can handle a stupid amounts of boost, if you were wanting to go the turbo route. Im not all sure what you will have to do with the wiring. Id assume swap in the new ecu/pcm from the donor truck. The obs won't have the right electronics to control all of it. You could go the cheap route with the donor truck, or go with a standalone harness like a holley efi, or like a terminator X. But they are expensive

[@TheKingCoopa]

@Eduardo Contreras hey, a 6.0 NA would have been great, and would have made more power. But I didnt have the extra time to find a 6.0 and swap it in. Plus i wanted either a 4.8 or 5.3, because if I ever wanted to turbo the truck down the road, those handle boost so much better than the 6.0s

[@dedricknight8598]

Do you need a stall converter on a btr stage 2 or 3 camshaft??

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, not sure the specs on those camshafts. If you call BTR they would know for sure. But I believe anything over 215 or a 218 duration, a stall is recommended. The stage 2 i think is fine, but I'd get a stall for the stage 3. But id call BTR just to double check

Is there a supercharger for these motors

[@TheKingCoopa]

Of course they do, the make so many performance parts for the LS platform. Just all depends on what power level you want, reliability, and how much money you want to spend haha.

Keep in mind all this hub Dyno #s

[@TheKingCoopa]

You still have to factor in the rotating mass of the wheels and tires. So probably a loss of 30+ HP. But for tuning wise, hub dynos are more accurate and are safer than roller dynos.

[@hectorposadagranados1614]

How much did the tune cost you

[@TheKingCoopa]

Hey, so the original tune, months ago when I did all the performance mods, was 250$ he drove out to me, at my house. (it wouldn't run, too rich after all the mods and bigger injectors) we did alot of street tuning and changing the tune (speed density tune). That took about 3 hours. Then this video, it was 200$ and I got like 5 or 6 runs on the dyno, with more tuning. He ended up gaining me an additional 30hp by playing around with the tune.
