Dyno Testing the 12.0:1 441" LS3! (Pump Gas Monster)

[@CLEEPER1]

Something to keep in mind on e85 vs 93. If the engine isnt timing limited like he said, the extra fuel being sprayed in to the heads takes up space which hurts airflow. A bigger port would gain power over the 260cc port with extra fuel

[@derricklaroche964]

If the engine can make it to peak timing with out spark knocking on pump gas usually the only gains you’ll see with higher octane is if there’s more oxygen in the fuel itself otherwise use pump gas because your wasting anything else. That goes for any engine.

[@bmwe30guy]

I made 16rwhp/24ftlbs more on e85

[@nasty3145]

​@Mark DeWall Thats nothing if u think about it. 91 verse 105-108 octane? For 12 whp? 😅 it not only cools the air but u can sneak more timing in. You proved his statement correct. What cars dont gain 12 whp with a tune? They allll do.... but a 15+ octane rating difference should be closer to 25 whp increase.

[@bmwe30guy]

@Nasty 31 car was already at its limit on 91. Switching from 91 to e85 it gained that much more

[@derricklaroche964]

probably due to more oxygen already in the fuel e85 runs cooler

[@sethh8892]

​@@bmwe30guy thats not alot. Especially when you take into count the fact that its more expensive usually and harder to come by. 16 hp isnt going to make a difference unless you are at 100hp to begin with.

With that many cubes and comp.. and didn't touch 700.. intake or camshaft must be the issue.

Intake is crap.

Intake is the limiting factor i believe.. Nice little streeter.

[@GrandPitoVic]

That is a gorgeous engine and it runs really well. Sounds really good. I've been waiting on the dyno on this one. I was looking on Gm Performance and you can get a brand new Ls3/L92 head for $868. For about $150 more each, I can get a set of the 11 degree 255cc Smeding heads with a lot better valves. That's really good. I just gotta save some more and wait for them to be in stock lol and I can get me a set.

[@georgebrooks58]

[@chris09mejia1]

I'm just about done building my 427 ls3 stroker with 12.2:1 comp, custom grind cam, aftermarket heads. Waiting on the intake manifold to arrive and once broken in, we'll see if it can run pump gas or e85 is a must. Excited to see the outcome

[@HagerTX]

How did your engine build turn out?

[@funfun8095]

I've seen that intake kill a ton of power, like 40 horse, on a chassis dyno. You should do same tests with a better intake, like the Holley ultra low ram.

[@roderickvinson3425]

Your correct but nothing beats a fast for a NA set up

[@natelsx]

Nothing beats a fast unless your wanting to turn it to 8k. This engine needs a fast or more camshaft. It may loose 10 or so hp on the peak but would gain a lot under 6k

[@Horsepower_Brad]

That new PTR XS LS3 112mm intake might be the call. Ultra Low Ram has similar incompatibilities with this engine as the BTR. Iron Mask Airflow ports trinity intakes and they come out looking nicer than an ultra low ram possibly could.

[@OldManRising]

Why arent you showing oil pressure during these runs? That 4.125 giving you oil pressure windage troubles? Just curious

[@vikenlink]

Would be interested to run the engine with the new performance design XS LS3 Intake on the 441 ci

[@arturozarate1752]

Finally some one else has the balls to run 12:1 on pump gas! I've been doing this for 8 or 9 years and been killing it out there. E85 won't give the cool down effect NA that it does on boosted apps. So personally I don't find the nearly 2 parts to 1 of E85 to 93 beneficial to the wallet. A good smooth light piston, low tension rings, etc.always sing well into the 7 to 7.5k range.....what's the hold up here????

[@dennisrobinson8008]

e85 on NA you can advance timing 2 to 4 degrees for additional power.

Good GAWD!!!! 20w-50!!!!! Churning butter over there. All engines aren't the same, but there's no reason a 20 weight oil can't be used. I see 702 @ 7.2k from the 416s I build, but there's a lot of attention to the "details". Don't get me wrong, this is a strong running engine!

This is interesting I have a similar build of 443 ls 12.4:1 compression hydraulic cam with full exhaust that I had tuned on a mustang chassis dyno it made 680hp and 620tq to the tire at 6800 rpm with 93 and 28 degrees of timing at the time I was a little disappointed my goal was 740 but I now know that was not possible and seeing this I am now impressed however I have had problems out of lifters in the motor because of the dart ls next block lifter guides I will be reworking it to have tie-bar lifters but the same but new cam the rest of the valve train saw no failures along with the rotating assembly

But I'm going to say 697 horsepower. P. S. Okay, I had to edit this because I just got to the end of the video. As instructed. I made my prediction before I watched the film. My estimate of 697 was based off of headers, not running through mufflers, now I believe I'm far closer with my guess, if you pop those mufflers off, I'll bet you free up at least 25 horsepower

Don't listen to those folks. The top performance shops will admit 14.7:1 gas af == lambda 1.00 == e85 9.85:1. That's why folks switch to lambda scale to make it easier. Just google "e85 lambda conversion table" and you will get results with a table that shows you the conversion.@@crashbandit9949

Same, didn't seem rite

[@sailingjazzy8272]

Really odd didn't pick up much on E85 - Thought the intake air temp decrease would add a decent amount of power...

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

On a carburetor yes, port fuel injection no

[@roderickvinson3425]

Not on a ls in NA form under boost whole nother deal. Coyote see better results from e85

[@Horsepower_Brad]

Port injection intake manifolds are dry - the injector is located at the bottom of the runner - the intake air meets the fuel in the cylinder head just before the intake valve. That's one reason why many port injection intakes are some sort of plastic. Carburetor intakes are 'wet' they flow a fuel/air mixture that comes from the carb at the top of the intake, which leads to a cooling affect throughout the entire intake. There's a significant cooling affect with gasoline as well, not just ethanol. Aluminum is the generally accepted ideal material for carbureted intakes because of its heat transfer properties.

[@timbaer8525]

Sure makes me wonder how those RPM guys get 650 WHEEL HP out of a Heads Cam stock displacement 427 LS7 🤔

[@GETLITUP69]

LS7 rotating assembly with titanium rods and LS7 heads will be worth another 20hp or more. LS7 heads are superior in all flow categories. Plus that intake is losing power to an MSD 102. There is gains to be made on this combo still.

[@BIG570S]

Probably from the MUCH lighter rotating assembly that comes in the factory LS7.

[@woods-garage]

I was thinking 700 hp, but I guess it needs another point of compression to get there (with the E85). Nice info, thanks.

[@75zl1]

No, there's something going on with this and that 427 build. They really need to figure out valve timing or they need to revise the port in their heads. This and that 427 should EASY eclipse 700hp.

[@joeyjojojr.shabadoo915]

At what point to you stop adding overall timing and just add it up higher after peak TQ ?

[@corbinschad1]

You look at the change in power compared to rpm. So if I add 2 degrees and the power stays the same to 4000 rpm, then gains from there to max rpm, you know where to keep adding. In this example, you would add more timing after 4000.

[@vikenlink]

Before I watch the rest of the video I’m guessing it’s going to make at least 750 hp

[@TennTitans]

I feel like 26 degrees is pretty low for an n/a setup

[@CLEEPER1]

Only if the heads have inefficient combustion chamber. Good chambers use less timing

[@arturozarate1752]

A 2" primary would be nice to see. 2" stepped to 2⅛" would be even nicer!

[@timothyball6608]

Why are you at a 12.x:1 AFR running on E85? Shouldn’t you be at like 7.9:1 ish AFR? E85 requires about 33% more fuel flow than gasoline. Seems to me that you are running the motor extremely lean on E85.

[@Cultofpersonality09129]

You need glasses.

[@keithbowen3415]

Most people when they’re switching between fuels leave the AFR numbers scaled to gasoline so technically it is higher than 12.4 to 1, but going off of the gasoline scale. That’s what the sensor reads.

[@gregkorte7534]

I think it going to make 720hp

[@joshuatetreault4730]

In no way am I badmouthing any of the workmanship, but isnt that number low for that build? I fully expected to see a mid 700 pull. At the wheel, its going to be barely breaking 600. It has to be a cam problem or something with the intake?

[@Cultofpersonality09129]

I think it’s the intake, but it’s in a C6 vette so there’s no hood clearance. Probably losing 40 hp on the intake.
