LSA Supercharged Silverado pt.3

[@kevinpbryant]

It's your truck, you can call it whatever you want. I have a Grand Marquis named GrandMa.

[@camerongoodin816]

Lol I call my lowered 01 ext cab Silverado grandpa, the pewter color just makes it look like a “grandpa” truck😁

[@patrickmansfield3967]

Instead of cyclone, you could use twister. And you already call it the step side. Combine the two and call it the “Step Twister” 😁. I enjoy the builds very much, thank you!

[@2000blackstang]

Yes I vote Step Twister! Great name!

[@13Dixiefried]

Yes, I vote for "Step Twister" lol.

[@MegamanEXEv2]

“What are you doing, Step Twister?”

[@jankycustoms6089]

Step sister🤨🤣

[@Diabloshell]

"I'm gonna go the step twister for hard ride"

[@johnelliott7375]

Too bad I am going to say I remember the last years of these cars being on the road and it just isn't the same. God bless and enjoy your evening.

[@jakewade7388]

Man, night and day difference in this upload! No overly loud obnoxious music, just mildly playing in the background on your personal radio. The sound of tools and you working, talking, and explaining. PERFECT, for me anyway. Thank you for taking this approach! I enjoyed very much!

[@ThanenJ]

Just wanted to say I enjoyed the video with no music/whatever music you had on in the background while you worked. Made it seem as if I was there working with you. Those are my thoughts!

[@LawrenceTolman]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@trinidadmarroquin4891]

Great episode. Is was very soothing having the music in the background and tool noise up front. It had the same ambiance that my garage work does. Of course I'm doing my own tune ups and maintenance, nothing close to installing a blower. Although...

[@JWFX4]

Copo isn’t bad, I would call it “parts bin”. I think Camaro when I hear Copo.

[@shadowopsairman1583]

Chevelle, Nova. How about Yenko

[@teaguegearhart9851]

I like it. Frankencopo. That sound cool too. Loving this build so far.

[@jeffwalbridge5846]

I love the name COPO. I think it fits perfectly.

[@ThePizzaGuy1396]

I do have to say, I really did enjoy not having any music laid over the video. Hearing just you work was soothing. Weird, i know, but true

[@JimFlanagan4206]

If it's a COPO you need some generic steel wheels with some chrome center caps. Like the old COPO Camaros.

[@2000r0283]

I'm in the middle of doing a lsa in my 5.3 regal. This helps.

[@gamerlegacy]

I'm definitely in favor of relocating the battery. It's just gonna look goofy if you do some kind of weird bend on the intake tube

[@raystevens687]

Hi 👋 👋 👋 👋 LT thanks for walking everyone through the install of the supercharger I Appreciate that thanks Ray 😊

[@NCTL05]

Well. You’re one of the lucky ones. I saw your video and decided I’d do this and I’m being told the ZL1 lids are out of stock everywhere now with no eta on the availability. Not your fault. Just interesting how fast that happened.

[@cesare8020]

It would be cool to see a rack and pinion conversion on one of these trucks. Using a later model rack from a Tahoe or suburban. Get rid of all the slop from the idler and pitman arm joints. Btw, I'd name it Bawd. Bad-a...awd

[@TheAleutiansolution]

Went to a car dealer one time looking for a new daily and they had a real 1969 COPO Camaro with the 427 on the showroom floor. Asked about it and they wanted half a million. Needless to say it was just a little outside my price range.

[@JosephNnbs]

I can’t wait to do this to my 08. Spin a bearing in my 5.3 in November and been planning out a 383 stroker using the 5.3 block and for the longest time thought I was going with a torqstorm. After these videos I’m certain I’ll be getting in contact with Roshan and getting a lsa kit

[@member57]

watching this project intently.

[@lewisgeer1994]

How about the “SuperSide”. Short for supercharged stepside. Also could work with SS badging. Just an idea🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BenFilley]

I’m sitting on an 04 single cab step side z71. 5.3 and 4l60e. Once it starts getting built it’s going to be “psiko71” looking at a turbo setup, not super built just looking for 500 all wheel hp. So obviously the same awd conversion. Lowered a little bit, but not too much because I’m in New England and still need to be able to deal with snow. Not looking to race it or anything since it’s my daily. Just want a little more than the stock 295 crank hp. Considering looking into a 6l80e swap since I love how my 3500 dump truck at work shifts and takes off. Still going to have a fairly quiet exhaust, full interior etc. I’m using your vids as research, so I can’t tell you how much I appreciate them. I’ve been to school for motorcycles, Kawasaki specifically. So I’m no stranger to tearing things down to the skeleton. This will be the first v8 I’ve ever built, since my old 95 z28 had a 400hp build when I bought it. Excited for the new experience, but understandably nervous.

[@ceciljohnson3829]

Really enjoying seeing this project progress.

[@GETaYOTA]

Shockingly simple bracket that boost district provides. I went with the overbuilt Lsx innovations heavy duty kit as I’ll be around 6500rpm with cam

[@bigredracer7848]

bracket you're so proud of showing us and turning it around it looks exactly like the one that held the power steering pump on my 427 in my 69 Chevelle

[@thejosowski]

This channel goes volumes beyond your last publication (and removes all the paid propaganda!) in technical detail… Keep ‘em coming LT!!

[@jeremyparsons2944]

battery in the 2nd spot for smooth intake tract, plus just moving the 40+ lbs battery from in front of the front wheels to behind the front wheels seems win win to me

[@SuburbanK2500]

I like the name COPO truck. Central Office Production Order, didn't know that, thanks. A COPO SS, or COPO SS AWD badge could look pretty cool. I may use that on my Suburban, imitation IS the highest form of flattery LOL

[@lizzifoster4161]

Wow, extra plates lol. If it where me...I'd put the alternator on the block tied to the ac with a longer 4rib belt, used a Volvo or Toyota EHPS remote power steering with electric water pump to limit crank shaft leaching and gone with a small 6rib pully/tensioner setup. 20-60 horsepower spread across the power arch just sitting there.

[@GrandPitoVic]

You know. If you let the air out of the front tires, it makes it easier to work on the truck. Then just air them back up when your done. Saves some wear and tear on your back. I learned that by accident. Both my front tires were flat one morning when I came out to work on her. For me tho it was a little bit harder then just putting some air in the tires lol.

[@jwg34]

I like the name, it fits with how you use so many original GM parts.

[@blairanthony3801]

As I sit here and enjoy your videos. I hear you’re looking for a project. I would love to see you build a high end Donk or Box Chevy. Not necessarily high end in cost, but in quality. The movement is so strong right now, you can gain many new subscribers.

[@VWdrivr]

I'm a Utah guy as well I did this setup on a lq4 in my 93 roadmaster wagon. You may want to consider the hd tensioner kit

[@jimfryar1]

I named my current project the “copo Colorado “ (named it about a year and a half ago when I started amassing parts) it will have the same blower setup you have, on top of a ‘08 ls3 6L80 with a an as yet undetermined transfer case and yes it will have a sas done running tons on 35-37” tires

[@shemwhitehead9517]

I love the COPO name! Right on!

[@jimmycokeanhour5196]

city's. Wait to hear it run and hear that blower whine!

[@melissamalone1530]

Oh man 14 pounds I had no idea it would make that much boost good for you 4.8 is gonna be all go r off the line now should be a huge game changer

[@11LowDown11]

Crank pinning is referred to as a Dutch Key in the machining realm. Love the content LT!

[@LawrenceTolman]

Thats my new fact for the day, thanks for the info!

[@deanm4138]

Very cool Lt can’t wait to see what it’ll do on

[@reevehicks9101]

I dig the name! Wish I would have thought of it because my truck has been pieced together with parts from you name it 😂 Denali interior engine from a Denali, transmission from a van, rear end from an SS front end from a 06 stepside bed from a 03

[@Techangler65]

If only you were closer. 2014 Silverado 6.2l. Looking to install a Whipple super charger. Dang it

[@davishernandez735]

Perfect name! Keep up the great content!

[@ryanc7486]

I do miss the tunes between the teachable moments. Most channels I watch find 1 and stick with it. Which is fine for short bursts.

[@erichildreth7562]

Nice work on getting that all setup and configured!!! I have seen that "pinning the crankshaft" kit before and it is a good idea as for what you are doing. My 2010 Silverado has both battery trays too and my battery is in the back as to where you are thinking about moving yours. GM does this because some of their trucks gave the diesel engine option. Can't wait to hear this run!!!

[@LawrenceTolman]

thanks! I can't wait to get it running either

[@ValarAmstaffs]

Very cool setup! Looking forward to seeing what you do next!

[@fat_cat8457]

I’ve got a 1993 Jeep Cherokee “liberty” that’s super clean, it’s all original, even down to the paint job, 103k miles, 4.0L in-line 6, if you’re interested in a crawler or something of the like

[@brianmallcom260]

Let's all look forward to SEND IT!

[@aaronmaples1140]

I agree and like the name Parts Bin or Parts Bin Express

[@rpm8293]

"Truck Hawk " would be a good name for that beast

[@Funtimes670]

I can’t wait to hear that blower whine!

[@Josh.Bowen.086]

Excited to see this thing rip! Also, here’s a vote to bring back the background music, too many ASMR vibes lol.

[@jamescopley6473]

Love the sound on this one! I like the idea project hurricane

[@michaelbrown5601]

All this work you do has motivated me. I have a TR6060 on the bench. A console, pedals, ready to swap… into my WM Chevrolet [Holden] Caprice PPV. You should pick one of these up. They are a lot of fun 😎

[@ventura455]

That looks like a clean install. Good work.

[@whiskersmcmeow6224]

Boost district- it’s all bolt on…Lawrence- modifies every step of the install

[@gusplymale1797]

Maybe call it the "Monsoon" because it's bigger than a cyclone?

[@bolambert6457]

Hahaha...or the frog strangler

[@bennysmith3858]

Copo is perfect

[@deanmoberg445]

How about calling it the "Tyclone" ? I am excited to see what kind of power this makes! No doubt gonna be a blast to drive. Hopefully you can hurt some feelings of fellow motorists. Lol!

[@tommydavis537]

You should name it the PhycoBilly Silverado. An homage to the Cadillac Johnny Cash describes in 'One Peice at a Time'

[@chrisp9926]

NICE JOB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@terrybell6287]

You could call it a Hurricane since GM already used Typhoon and Cyclone. also you should not have any belt slip issue until you go bigger on the pulleys, I've seen it before, that's why it has a wider belt width to start with, GM knew it was border line slip already

[@h.h.legacydiesel6724]

My L.B.Z. Duramax Yukon is called NORTH. Not sure why? I was wondering if there is a shorter power steering pressure line from a factory blowen 4.8 ? I just hate hoses or electric wires/cables that are too long. It's just messy looking, so l get why you want to tidy things up. ✌🏻🔑,👌👍❄❄🥶🇨🇦👨‍🦽😎.

[@derekwilson9215]

Love it!! Can’t wait to see it on the road!!!

[@LawrenceTolman]

Can't wait!

[@OlsonKustomWorks]

good info on the belt, itll stretch about 1" after you get into boost a few times. The truck balancer is SMALLER than the CTSV, the stock LSA lower is an upgrade over the truck balancer if needed.

[@LawrenceTolman]

good info on the lower pulley size, guess I'll be looking for a way to spin it faster in the future lol. Love the bracket btw!

[@OlsonKustomWorks]

@@LawrenceTolman glad to hear it. We havent had any issues in the past with the ARP bolts or the steam tube, but ill be making a few adjustments on the next batch of adapters

[@JWFX4]

If you get any belt slippage you may wanna look into a Gates HD “green” belt. I know a lot of guys with superchargers swear by them.

[@shadowopsairman1583]

I use Gates Rubber products across the board.

[@BryanBeast13]

one day i will take my 6.0 burban to you. amazing attention to detail

[@ewaltsauto]

Man I'd love to run a lsa supercharger on my LS Swapped Astro but after watching this, my brake master will be in the way

[@4BillC]

Definitely needs some music! And I dig the name. I remember the COPO Camaro, sort of. It was definitely before me but...

[@bluecollarhotrods9781]

It's looking good, can't wait to hear it start. I'm not a fan of the ARP balancer bolts. I've had 2 back out on me. Yes - I torqued them to their specs and even used red loctite. FYI - I have never had a factory bolt do that to me. As for reusing them, technically you shouldn't - but you can. Do I recommend it? No. The stock bolts are under $10, hardly worth the risk.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Imagine if that COPO stuff was still a thing you could do. Particularly with the MOPAR cars. TMW you order an AWD widebody Charger Demon. Or maybe you get the Viper engine with the supercharger on it AND AWD in a Durango. With third row seating, too.

[@LawrenceTolman]

that would be so cool if you could do that.

[@LEGOCAMARO]

How about “SSS” will be awd like a SS truck and Stepside. Plus heavy like a ship.

[@matthewbaumann4600]

You should try a power steering pressure hose for a square body with a small block.

[@LawrenceTolman]

good tip!

[@georgecerda7802]

I'm curious as to how the water pump bearings will fare with the side load produced by the supercharger. It's unfortunate you could not have a belt dedicated to the supercharger...unless I have missed something.

[@OlsonKustomWorks]

i make this front drive kit, I have 6 years and 160k miles on one of our LSA setups that we drive almost daily, with zero issues on water pump bearings, along with thousands of others we have sold this kit to

[@dannylister558]

Super interesting..thanks!

[@BillsAutoService]

Hey LT, I live in Sandy, UT and I've got a 02 Avalanche. Great shape, Blue, 188k never been cut into or modded. I've been looking to sell. I've owned it since 2011. Runs great. 5.3 vortec if you're interested. I really don't want to sell, but I drive it very much, and my 2nd doesn't show any interest.

[@shadowopsairman1583]

2007 Classic, 160K here

[@issacbarkmann3374]

Could it be called the LSA and Pray, since it's quite a bit of power added to that truck and is pretty light. Also thought it sounded catchy and funny

[@joethepirate1]

I can’t wait to see what this thing does on the dyno!

[@g35squad3]

Where’d you get the alt & pwr steering pump directions??? Mine ain’t come w any

[@69castellano]

You should call it the "El-Camaro" Camaro in to front, party in the rear!

[@MrMonsterMusicMedia]

Truck harmonic is smaller then a stock lsa harmonic And another interesting fact you can fit a 10% overdrive lower on truck spacing and clears the water pump

[@LawrenceTolman]

I'm gonna be looking into this ASAP.

[@baggeddually]

The truck lower is smaller by 10% so you will be loosing a little boost there. Tge largest lower you can put on it with the truck accessories is the stock ctsv one. Just a heads up.

[@qdmax11]

Sweet setup man

[@LawrenceTolman]

Appreciate it

[@robwebster1098]

LT while editing: "Make fun of my music will ya? Fine! No music! Us: "This is good ASMR here.

[@all.how.actual]

COPO Truck is guuuud!

[@JoseGarcia-jp8gs]

2020 brakes on that truck would be a great video to watch

[@chriscase6341]

I'd watch it for sure! 👍

[@jonsongster2060]

Lt could you add the music back to your videos when you're working. Even if its PG it passes the time when your not time lapsing

[@lcampm2]

Did you put thread lok on the power steering pump bolts? Looked like they were behind the stock pullley

[@GregMcAskill]

LOPO Lawrence Office Production Order what is needed to swap to the 4l80?

[@eckelberr]

I would call it Johnny Cash… “Got it one piece at a time…”

[@joselinares348]

Awesome videos man, love your style. Keep it up?

[@victordelangel9165]

Very cool 😎 I’m thinking of doing the same but will see great videos by the way.

[@joeknowski675]

How much did you spend on the full lsa kit. I have a ls3 and was looking for a round about price/price breakdown.

[@bobqzzi]

Nice video. How about TolmoTruck? I like that better Also, it's hard to see, but it seems like you have insufficient wrap on that crank pulley- like not even 180 degrees. Is that an optical illusion?

[@kevinengland4042]

Get a green belt, and I would also put 2 pins in the crank.

[@JD-rq7il]

I heard that Sublime in the backround.... brings back memories, lol. This is going to be a blast of a truck! How large of a stall are you going to go? I'm thinking 3800-4000 may be needed for a crazy awd launch!

[@bigredracer7848]

LT did you drill two holes in the crankshaft in the lower pulley to keep it from turning when you put the blower drive on because it's only a press fit with no key way

[@JorgeVargas-bc8ft]

Where did you get that install guide papers? Did it come in your kit? Mine didn’t come with anything.

[@rogerlatta7027]

Be careful of the crank pully, the belt is only about 1/2 around the pully. I was always taught to have it 3/4 around to insure no slip.

[@LawrenceTolman]

yeah, I did notice that, we'll keep an eye on it

[@jameskuhlman9835]

I'm bummed that you didn't choose to name it Tyclone, but your build, your rules.

[@SyTySpeedShop]

Stock truck crank pulley is smaller than the the CTS-V/ZL1, 7.7 vs 8.2 Get the Dayco 10%OD crank pulley that is 8.426 and let er eat!!

[@LawrenceTolman]

ahh, that's good to know.

[@GrandPitoVic]

Lol you looked like one of those little man on a wind mill slash compass up down up down up down lol
