LSXcalade Returns! New LS7 Hi Ram Intake Manifold Prep & Flow Testing The OG 2000cc Injectors

The time has finally come. We are starting the rebuild series of the channel stalwart 2013 Escalade ESV aka LSXcalade! The record holder for fastest full size GM SUV of any brand variant is coming back for more after being down for over a year. The dart block 427 was redone better than ever by Late Model Engines and with a fresh LS7 top end based around Brodix heads! We have to change the intake manifold base and customize it to work with the modifications done to the original manifold!

Who likes to see the reasoning behind the little modifications and custom stuff like this? This rebuild is going to be full of them! Support the channel and wear our stuff if you want! stapletonautoworks.com

[@tophand1918]

Have you looked at motion raceworks options for throttle brackets and whatnot, alot has changed since you put that together

[@jtuck6065]

I like to hear the train of thought. Nicely done

[@nathansmith4950]

Been here since you were at @pfispeed getting it tuned bye brent...cant wait to watch this lsxcalade to rip ..lets go Suck it dale..

[@patchedupdemon7104]

All the info is much appreciated,but pls dyno this at pfi and max out their dyno,it's the only way

[@micahbuchheit1283]

Please

[@lafoy777]

It's crazy how you put the escalade on the back burner when AZN and others were saying "be the escalade guy". Glad you chose to do all the other sick content. Now I'm stoked for the return of this monster.

[@Stapleton42]

AZN said never sell it and never change the color. Both of those were followed lol. I knew when the time for it to come back arose it’d be right. Now it’s right.

[@lafoy777]

Ahhh. Ok I remembered incorrectly.

[@Sercumference]

@@Stapleton42 glad you guys are getting it together I've loved the uncle Rob content but time for this peacock to fly

[@Sercumference]

Yo I got a losi Baja Rey and I love it its a monster of an rc car super Baja ray or Traxxas udr are on my list

[@dmaxlife2785]

I bet if he had Azn money the Escalade would be back on the road.

[@davidkacs6933]

Take no shame in sponsors on your videos, get them bills paid! Also your camera work has significantly got better, ie, more close ups and Logan's commentary! Love RC anything! If you post it we'll watch brother. Keep it up 🤘🇺🇸

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man

[@adammoore545]

Glad I'm not the only one quoting the Dale line in the shop, stuff like that helps pass the day. When things are going back together "Go to your home!!! Are you too good for your home??!!" Often gets broke out.

[@Ike50701]

My dad and friends used to own an RC hobby shop locally here in Iowa. I still have all of my old stuff and recently picked up a nitro slash and the last nitro 4tec I could find. They don't get ran much but I still tinker with the hobby to this day, 15ish years later

[@HammerPowered]

Excited to see this beast come back...was the thing that brought me to the channel in the first place. The time is right.

[@Vamperian]

I think I found your channel when you had around 26k subs. So glad the Escalade is coming back. Love that you guys are growing and continuing to branch out making killer content.

[@Slampedro]

Fastest GM SUV is NO JOKE lol. Especially the big body y’all are rocking

[@DocRega]

I saw an amazing demonstration recently using dry ice to super clean an engine bay. It came out looking show room clean in 12 minutes! I’m waiting for the cost of the machine to stabilize a little to buy one but, it’s great to have the time saving and efficient cleaning.

[@brunie2]

Watching you for over 2 or 3 years, and have been waiting for the LSXclade to slay some more 1/4 miles and set some records!! Also gotta say the vintage NASCAR content has been a joy to watch, much love for the details you put into all your videos.

[@Slicpimp420]

The moment we ALL have been waiting for! Congratulations mitch. Awesome to see you at this stage of getting your og Escalade back in action!!

[@RebelRacer99]

the beast is coming back to life! That go kart looks like fun, and rc content would be super cool.

[@437MotorsportsandOutdoors]

Glad to see the Escalade going back together! 🇺🇲🦅💪 Posting content to build my channel has been a struggle for me, haven't had spare money to put towards projects. Just been maintaining my vehicles that I have to have. Some day this YT thing will hopefully fund the projects and a race car for Small tire No Prep .

[@aychdee981]

Glad to see some OG LSXcalade content back on the channel! However everything is great on this channel !

[@jb.899]

I’m I glad to see this put back together. Great job.

[@koryjoubert2603]

Just got done watching hoonicorn vs the world 2 and I can't stop thinking about seeing the lsxcalade run against it... can't wait to see this beast at the track again

[@rogerfleury9759]

I’ve been a subscriber for a year-year and a half. You just bought the Newell. And just moved to Texas. And thanks again for giving me all the information about owning and maintaining a Motor Home. I almost made a very serious mistake by buy one. The fuel,tires,and constant repair and or replacement of items that get worse with age. Working on a big Motor Home by yourself is a young mans game. In my opinion. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

[@bennyhelgeson401]

Bent wrenches like all old tools are still very useful. Looking forward to LSXcalade back up and running.

[@Stapleton42]

Thank you sir!

[@LinusMundane]

This is the content of yours I like the best. The Nascar stuff is great because you're so passionate about it, but building racecars is best.

[@jordansrc8483]

Man seems like it’s been 2 years! So stoked to see this beast back on the road / track👏👍

[@Stapleton42]

It feels like 2 years lol

[@Bowtie_Mike7319]

Man RC cars, trucks and boats are super addictive but so much fun! Can’t wait to hear the Escalade roar to life again!

[@Jackie-ld2ki]

I can't wait to see this beautiful truck back on the track.

[@squirebrannon5072]

The Escalade is gonna make an awesome comeback, love the content guys. The new shop setup is looking fresh and clean. Hard work will always pay off. Suck it!

[@jtuck6065]

Been looking for this for a few weeks now since you posted about the motor a couple weeks ago!!! Can’t wait to get into this video!

[@Nappylou69]

Been waiting for the wild ride to get rebuild again keep up this epic work! both of you.

[@deancurry8841]

Hola from Dallas. Dear Logan/Mitchel I have enjoyed the wonderful adventures since the Cooper shop repaint. good times and thank you.

[@aarontucker1783]

Your content has come along way.. I enjoy your videos and admire your determination. Keep up all the hard work..

[@kevinAuman1]

Yes'rrr I remember watching this escalade scooting down the highway in Texas and seeing it skip down the lanes on the strip what a badass wagon she was!!!

[@hot_pink_bitch_8896]

We talked to a local down in Texas about getting my dads old hot rod running again and I gotta say this is getting me stoked.

[@gregsimon9061]

Mitchell, I’m so glad that this is coming back, everything will be better than before, this is how I came to your channel from RMRW two years ago and have been on my this incredible journey with you, you know I absolutely love all the Nascar content but the Escalade is what intrigues me, I think we have all been waiting for it to come back better than ever. So much has changed for you these past couple of years and all for the better. Very excited for you and Logan, I can’t wait to see her reaction when she gets to go for a ride in it. Thanks for all the great content. Merry Christmas 🎄 Do it right like you said. This is your flag ship, make it gorgeous. At 69 years old I bought my first RC car after watching SRC Garage having so much fun, I bought me a Traxxas Rustler, this thing hauls ass and is so much fun in the snow up here in Montana.

[@timkoryciak5622]

I really like all your content, I enjoy all your videos, looking forward to seeing the Escalade back on the road.

[@chris8641]

Take your time, Buddy. Can’t wait to follow this build but y’all have to have fun while doing it.

[@mattcosper7702]

If I watch the vido twice will it help the algorithm? I wouldn't be able to handle life without your videos. They are great!

[@Stapleton42]

Might I’m not sure lol. Have you watched all the old videos from the beginning of the channel?

[@mattcosper7702]

Ill go do that now!

[@TheRoachmancometh]

Been playing with r/c cars for 20 years! Would love to see some rc content from you guys!

[@justinvanburen8259]

I’ll watch anything y’all post!! Keep it coming! I love RC’s!

[@jakebray561]

Ive been here since mid 2020ish. I think you had like 34k at that time?. Took a break while you were doing the street drag scene but I'm back now. LOVE the NASCAR stuff and can't wait to see the LSescalade running again. The speech you gave in your car at the end of race week last year was what made me subscribe lol good to see you succeed man.

[@n4bhpat]

Glad your getting the Escalade back going. Keep us posted if you race it locally (mooresville) is in your backyard. I want to see that beast roll in person. Love all the content! Still trying to explain the suck it short to my wife and it’s ok to wear it in public lol!

[@woodyharrell7921]

Ready to see the escalade running been around for a while and starting to miss it

[@dirtyfuckinaidzz]

Really enjoy watching u make these videos man, u really describe everything to a detail man great job! Can't wait to see next video!!!!!!!

[@damien8540]

I started watching when you wanted to do Rocky Mountain Race Week. And... wow. you were quite the show. Not a fan of the orange, but who am I to say... that color on the Escalade is AWESOME and the times you can pull... woww.... wtf. You are awesome to pursue this when so many others are just doing the "norm".... Keep pushing and I'll be sharing the love and making sure all my friends enjoy what you are doing.

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man

[@ChrisLarivee1]

Happy to see the Escalade getting some love. As far as the R/C stuff goes, I don't mind a bit. I have a Losi tenacity tt pro short course truck. It's a blast and my 7 year old hasn't killed it yet so it's good stuff.

[@Frostyeveryday]

You keep posting videos… I’ll keep watching. I love the content. Even the little stuff about figment issues and cleaning. I can’t wait to see Logan make a few passes in the LScalade! RC cars are kool… but I moved to drones, way more fun in my opinion.

[@djlonewolf78]

awsome seeing the escalade coming back together. r/c's are always a blast been in r/c's since the early 80's. heck easier and typically cheaper to build break and rebuild r/c's than any fullsize vehicle. even for those of us that modify and upgrade them right out of the box and rarely stop. and on a side note jconcepts and hpi both show escalade bodies and jconcepts shows a 80's monte carlo street stock body may be others out there. r/c versions of real builds can be fun between races at events and between events or all new venues of content possibilities.

[@kennyfofo]

I like you guys and will watch all of your content so keep it real and keep it coming. Customizing gives me ideas on how i might put some of my crap together so I LIKEN IT! It would have been fun to see you geeking out at PRI and you just talking car stuff.

[@WeeZie-FkN-BaBy]

I joined when you first got the Newell. Been here ever since and ain't going anywhere. Stay rad brother and keep up the hard work!

[@nickstuart2839]

yehhhh RC CARS!!! too bloody right,they are somuch cooler than when i was a kid,ok it was 40 years ago but thats not the point. they even do legit drag races with them now for real money pots 1320 video went too one thisyear and it was badass,even big chief was there,all the src lot are well into it john doc flies planes or crashes planes but its all so cool so what you waiting for you wont regret it dude!!!

Yeesssss. As much as I want to see the Monte running, its time for the escalade....its been too long. With Christmas around the corner I had to by a cheap phone card with less data, my 9 year old son needs a good Christmas , so I don't get to watch as much youtube this month. But I'm going to watch this one! Thanks for the content friend

Right as you were getting the Newell; which should be getting some love & coverage too. Enjoy the car stuff but miss seeing things about the Newell. Like to here some of the stories those walks could tell now! LOL

Came across you when you went to PFI to get it tuned by Brent. Loved the LSXcalade since and stuck around for all your other content.

All the best with the build and merry Christmas to you both cheers

Just found this while searching KZbin, never got notification for this video so I cancelled and followed again, Hopefully this fixes it, Cheers and loving the content, Mark. Australia.

[@Crispy1320]

I've been a subscriber since before you took the LSXCALADE to PFI to be tuned. I then went back and watch all the old videos and have watched every. What's different about your channel is you are the most active KZbinr in the comments. I like that you're not for everyone you're definitely uniquely you keep doing what you're doing I'm here for the Long Haul and can't wait to see what's to come. P.S. I love Logan as well not only is she absolutely gorgeous but she's real as hell and she's not afraid to get her hands dirty she's an absolute amazing addition to the channel and you can tell you to have a strong connection

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks dude. Always as active as I can be

I know some other channels I subscribe to will cut up their bloopers and outtakes so they have videos in the bank to post if they’re out of town or whatever. Keep the great content coming

[@Duramaxjon]

At 20:56 I wish I knew that before, I took the hood off of my Escalade when I had the engine out because I couldn’t figure out the service position on it lol

I would use your gorgeous ol' lady to do the sponsor stuff. seems shes getting more and more comfortable in front of the camera. you two are killing it i been digging the content

I've been watching since you went to PFI speed and thought what you were doing was soo cool,so I've kept watching and i love the hoodys

[@zman8812]

Loving the content and im so pumped to see the LSXcalade back in action! But I do have one small complaint... I bought a Shop_dog shirt to support the little guys accident and Its awesome i wear it all the time ! But Ruger use to make an appearance all the time in your videos... but now sadly we never get to see him... It's not fair to make him famous And design a T-shirt after him And then never give the poor guy any camera time. He's just as important as the builds are! lol Bring back the Shop_Dog !!!! Keep up the good work !!!

Too bad you didn't put this video out yesterday. I could have used your pipe tap tip. I ran the tap in too far and my fitting bottomed out and leaked a little. I will have to remove some material to make it work.

Started watching the motorhome content than fell in love with the escalade and now it is the best KZbin channel there is I tell everyone to watch it. Yes on the small plates I would buy the cap out of them. Yes on the RC stuff am in to that too a little bit. And I just got my Christmas sweatshirt, and the tags in the mail today. Keep up the good work. Would love to see anything you filmed at the PRI show.

Grad PRI went well, looking forward to what you have planned. The true fans totally understand gaps in uploads, i know KZbin doesn't like it (it's kinda why i upload every monday and every friday at 6pm gmt.)

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

And Hell yes to RC content (not that i do a RC video every Friday....)

[@openoutlaw]

Oh man I think it is way cool that you want to get into RC Cars. I totally got my wife into and she is waaaaaay into it now. I raced dirt oval, paved oval Short Course. We ended up getting into the Rock Crawling and go to AxialFest and other events and have way to much fun. We are in our 50's now. I'm building a No Prep Car now. That class has blown up and something I think you would love. Yes please show the RC stuff. You'll be like the rest of us grownups playing with toy cars lol. Big Heck Yes on the RC from me.

[@cameronwalker1793]

Dude get yall some RCs! Their an absolute blast! There some areas who really get into rc drags and there is normally a pretty decent pot to win too

[@StepHire16]

Was awesome to meet you at PRI, you're the same guy on and off camera. Even more excited now for more videos. RC's are awesome. They have no prep drags for them, then your off road race type stuff. Or just a basher to have fun and jump off and over stuff. Also curious about the gokart race as that's my hobby of choice.

[@randysmith8433]

I subscribed to your channel before you went to Rocky Mountain Race Week with the LSXcalade

[@sadiejustin]

1: I've been on board since the Dale Sr. Newell vids. 2: Showing what the other cartubers don't, your transparency, is and will continue to be a large factor in your channel's success. Keep showing what you feel is correct for your truth. 3. The RC game is even more radically better for this 44 year old kid. They were crude compared to what they are now, but I grew up back in the old Associated RC/10 days. My AWD short course truck is like flying a F-22 compared to that old thing. The kiddo will love a rock crawler of some sort. A little slower and easier to learn. 4: I need to buy a Pit crew shirt soon! Thanks for the content you two. Justin from Kansas
