Glad to see the 5.7 getting some love! Guessing a whole lot of us would like to see more on boosting one. What's a safe hp level? What should you gap the rings to? That sorta stuff

[@andrewbeltramini5642]

Word around is that the ls1 Lower can hold up to 500 wheel

[@sethh8892]

@@chrishansen7004 thats pretty true. If you want to hold a lot of boost go with a 6.0 or 6.2. If you want to hold an even higher amount of boost to go with an iron block. At that point you'll be pumping out so much power the extra weight won't matter. Remember guys, the iron block variant is only 100 lb more.

Great job on the playlist man. So so many KZbinrs, in fact most of them forget to maintain them later on. Or they never properly set it up in the first place. PLEASE stay on top of that playlist it will further set you apart. Seriously set you apart in fact, lol and it’s so sad that thats true too.

LS1 today? How about an L33 block bored to 3.900 or so, then add the components of your choice. Of course if you’re adding boost (a lot of boost), then don’t bore it, just turn up the boost controller. That first head upgrade example seemed extreme. A 212° intake cam making 529 hp at 6500? I’m hoping my 6.0 cracks 500 hp at the crank with a 225° intake lobe and 823 heads. Of course part of the difference is the 9.6 or so compression of the LY6. Still interesting info, thanks Richard!

[@mavsformulaful]

The trade off is worth it if you're most interested in road racing and high rpm power for drag racing. I think its interesting to see cam only cars running 11s with a good suspension and converter, and ET is very similar w/ properly tuned stg 1.5-2 (22X duration) or a 23X/24X. So the peak power isnt nearly as important as the avg tq/hp in your launch to shift (racing) rpm range. I was going to increase from a 235/242 112lsa, mainly for more overlap(tighter lsa) and to get up to .650ish lift, but I'll be fabbing hot/cold side, adding a turbo from VSR or Sloppy, and then I'll prob want less cam in the 383.

500 hp on any LS Vortec with just bolt ons ? Why would anyone rebuild a sbc or bbc when junk yard LS Vortec exist ? Power, reliability, efficiency & huge aftermarket parts support.

Some people don't like change. We have people flying a flag 157 year's after a war was lost 😉👍

[@midnight347]

@@diduck6878 to me the rebel flag stands for the south and isn't really anything to do with the Civil War. When I see a rebel flag I think south...not civil war and slavery but that isn't how most others see it. The south had that flag during the Civil War which was about slavery but to me the flag represents the south not so much that other stuff.

See out American vans have 6.0 and 4.8s. My own personal truck is powered by an 07 express van lq4. That said don't the aussies have rb30's in the wreckers?

[@hayden6056]

Lol no days of rb30s in wreckers are long gone. $500 gets you a block with matching crank and girdle these days if you're lucky.

[@craigritchie1933]

RB30's were sold new in Australia from 1986 to 1990 so they're long gone from the junk yards

Looking for a nice thump cam that I don’t have to change out the converter and valve train. It’s going to be daily driver/cars and coffee type of car I’m building for my dad. I’ve been looking at the 228/232 and the btr red hot cam, and the gm performance hot cam
