My takeaway is that the $2200 worth of cylinder heads are not a great value for 90% of people who would run a turbo LS. I'll just command a couple more psi of boost instead, haha. Keep up the good work Richard!

The power stroke is like a baby's kiss compared to the forces of reversing the piston's direction at TDC and BDC. In fact, higher cylinder pressure softens this force at TDC on the compression stroke. Adding heads and cam timing extends the RPM range higher where forces increase exponentially. Valvetrain, connecting rods, and bearings suffer more from high rpm operation. The issue with more boost comes in with detonation. More boost requires higher quality fuel, and intake temperatures skyrocket as pressure ratios increase. If you're running an intercooler and E85 on the street, just gap the rings, crank the boost and watch your tune.

Power goes up with intake flow increases, boost goes down. When you improve the exhaust side, power goes up, boost goes up also. Very nice vid as usual.

I think cams that need a review are the SDPC (Scoggin Dickey) LS6 Powermax & Powermax Plus cams. In their videos, they don't kill low end torque and make really good power over stock in a 5.3. I'd like to see how they compare to the BTR truck torque & Stage 1/2 cams, especially in a 4.8 and with boost. Basically this same video but with different cam options. Maybe compare the numbers to the Crane cam mentioned in other videos too.

I’d like to see a test with your famous 4.8 topped with a TBSS intake and a turbo using the N/A 224 cam that did really well in your SC cam video. Essentially a Holderen’s greatest hits 4.8 combo that you could point someone to and call it “The Recipe”

My thoughts are that it’s better to build the combo to make the most power with the least boost. Boost is pressure and pressure is stress on parts. The less stress on the parts the longer the motor will last.

I think that is the safe approach for most people, the selection of heads and cam consistent with drivability and fuel mileage. With lots of boost, even with intercoolers the tune gets pretty finicky to avoid detonation.

Richard, since you are obviously not afraid of JDM-land, I am surprised that (for simplicity if nothing else) you haven't tried a 4.8L with internally gated twins on simply upside-down stock exhaust manifolds (front facing/pointing up) with a common pair of GT28 T3's such as the singles found stock on a Nissan SR20 or a Mitsu Big16/20G type of thing. With these turbos being mainly found in Single applications on 2.0 up to 2.4L 4Cyls and the fact that 4.8/2 = 2.4L, wouldn't a pair of these make for a simple installation ? Internal flapper gates @ 8-12psi, easy dual exhaust out of the T3 exhaust housings etc. I had a pair of these make 500+whp on an RB26 in a Skyline GTR. I would think that the 4.8 would be a prime candidate for this type of installation and ease of use even carbureted. The only downside is that the turbos need both oil and water. Something to consider ?

I have a question. Perhaps you have the answers since nobody has any clue. I have crack three oil pans. All three oil pans all cracked at the same corner. The last nut by the oil filter on the block. As I am torquing it down to 18lbs it keeps cracking that same corner. I even loosened the rear cover & the oil pan still cracked. I'm going tomorrow again to grab another oil pan from the junkyard
