My LS3 Swapped Camaro Makes BIG POWER On The Dyno! ABSOLUTE RIPPER!

Finally got a chance to get my 1969 camaro on the dyno and get the tune dialed in. She put down insane power for just a little bolt on/cam LS3 and more importantly, she RIPS on the street. Also tuned up my steering system with a new box and pitman arm and now she handles just as well! Having a blast finally beating on this thing!

That’s one of the best sounding exhausts I’ve ever heard. Cannot even imagine how pissed off it sounds in person. Amazing build.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

It's WILD

[@ambroselake9156]

Agreed.

[@jojogun1957]

Not as loud but just as good as Trans Am car from a few years back.

@@ChrisSullivan69he’s right. The whole car gives me a chubby

[@lowhpgt500]

2 videos in the same week?! Hell yeah man! And it’s Friday so I get a stay tuned video too. Best 2 automotive channels on KZbin.

Seriously, who needs a radio with an exhaust like that??? 🔊🔥🔥

Agreed lol

[@masterwrong3110]

You have no idea what a car like this feels like with cutting crew blasting down the beach strip 😎 don’t exactly have an ls3 but similar build ish

[@Coop_63]

The 80s beat while you trailer back from a successful dyno sesh as the sun sets. That clip got me real good

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Hell yeah. Solid summer vibes

[@MrCecilbag]

Thank you for the upload sir. Had a ripped bicep repaired today with surgery. Now I can live vicariously through your build while healing. You do the best work and create the most interesting content. I was cleaning my wheel wells yesterday thanks to you. Thanks for an amazing channel and all the inspiration. Watching with my 10 & 5 year old. You're going to be such a fun Dad. Hot rod Dad"s for the win

[@fks-pv8il]

Hey Man! Hope you recover well from your surgery. Tore both of my biceps one was a partial probably should have had it repaired. The other was not repairable. But still rocking. Better peaks. lol Hope you have a full recovery!

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Heal up quick brother!

[@badass1g]

Just gotta say I’m so jealous of your channel, cars, your skills, and your assets. I’m the budget version of you.

By far the best looking, most tasteful & best sounding Camaro I’ve seen to date. Awesome job big fella.

Holy smokes Batman! Sounds incredible!

Drove the Grandsport to work AND a new video from Chris cmon now doesn’t get any better than that 🔥

[@Huntinghogs]

That nut on top of the steering box sets the worm gear spacing much like setting the ring and pinion in a rear end. It may fell like some of the slop is out, but you’re not solving your issue. Can’t wait to get the LS swap done in my 98 K2500.

[@dannotwalruslarkin9324]

Cool to see this tuner really slamming a load on the motor and messing with the tune before pulls. Can't say how many times I've had my GTO and Cobra on dynos and after a warm up it was 6-10 pulls and called 'good', go for a quick drive around the block with the tuner and hear them say "feels good!" and 3 days later I'm home saying dammit this thing drives like shit 😅. This was 15 years ago, when it wasn't unusual to pay only 300-400 bucks for a tuning session.

[@mattspontiacta]

Very nice dyno numbers for the LS3. 513 rwhp 💪🏻 That 69 really hauls ass .. Nice !!! Great job on the complete build on the Camaro . Looks great 👍

[@mtridgee11]

Love it! Keep them Coming! One of the best Car channels out!

[@andrewholzgrove7331]

Just finishing up my T56 Ls swap into a 1969 Firebird! Took it for its first drive to the exhaust shop on Monday. It’s killing me waiting to get it back so I can take it out! Awesome video and super helpful since I think I’m gonna have to do the same steering box swap. I’ve also got brand new steering components except for the box and pitman arm. Same issue, lots of play in the wheel but my car doesn’t return back to center either. Hopefully a steering box solves it

[@StevenGauthier-p3x]

Love that Summit death stare. lol. As usual awesome build. What a beauty and beast.

[@beaugator]

And, no clunk when you shift! Sounds like my '10 C6 GS running at Sebring! Getting there bud! Sounds really good!

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Thanks!

[@robertfirl8828]

Heard the comment about the Cobra having the oil problem repeat. It could be that the Mustang needs an oil catch can. On the 2003 super charger, it may be like the 2001 Cobra naturally aspirated 4.6L. That one tends to need an oil catch can just after the driver's side PCV valve. There should be more details regarding which side for the 2003 on the svtperformance forum. From what I can find, the UPR oil catch can is excellent. It mounts to the rear engine coolant overflow / degas tank support rod. The existing flange nut and threads are more than enough to hold the catch can bracket.

[@michaeldyer6304]

Car guys dream garage right there bro! At least as far as im concerned, maybe a Porsche snuck in there somewhere too... J.s. You're living the good life 👍

Nice upgrade to the Z28. Those second gear rips sound great.

[@JasonStAmand]

35:38 the dual walled tips look awesome but keeping them shinny is a PITA! I’ve found the best product to use is p&s break buster that I keep in a 2:1 ration in a spray bottle. When I get back in the garage I do a quick spray of the dual walled tips with the Break Buster and wipe them clean with a microfiber and it pulls all the soot off of the tips! Makes maintaining them shiny for each drive a breeze! I also have p21s polishing soap for the tips if I have neglected them for a bit to use during a wash. But I’ve learned a quick spray and wipe after each drive keeps them perfect 🤙🏼. Love to see that you always throw some highway footage of Worcester in the videos! Born and raised in Worcester! Keep the videos coming - this is the best content on the KZbins!

Love your SIXT9 Camaro and the huge smile you get from driving it! That exhaust is unbelievable. Concur with a mini-split! I have one in my garage here in AZ where it cools the garage down to a nice and dry 78 in the middle of summer when the temp is 110 outside! Dyno Dynamics which is the true "heartbreak" dyno...I know as I had my tuned '06 Mercedes SLK55 AMG dyno'd on one where it is a full 15% less vs the DynoJet.

[@elduro787]

6:21 It looks like we got a heat engine bay situation (Headers) going on my boi…exhaust heat shield is the solution. BTW we need to see the LS3 on the highway doing some pulls that would be nice.. Like the video. Oh and about the stiffness on the wheel might go away once you do the alignment who know .

[@synergy793]

I just found your channel and I’m in awe. I just bought my first truck and I have something to do to it to get it to what I want but man you have a beautiful collection. 69 camaro is my favorite car of all time. Would sand paper on the bottom of your boards keep them from moving?

Could've swore this was still a 6060 transmission. Guess ill have to go back and rewatch the series! Killer ride, and sounds nasty! 👍

[@fks-pv8il]

Great video. Always enjoy your videos and I hate a sloppy steering box. That Camaro Rocks!

[@ChrisSullivan69]

🤙🤙

[@CZ-kz7ug]

3 degrees negative front camber will help with steering wheel return, and going straight when launching. Grab steering shaft underhood and check for play in new rag joint and shafts slip joint. You can bottom out and backoff a half turn steering setscrew. Wont feel much though. Grab each front wheel and move side to side, and in and out to see what balljoints are doing.

[@chrisettenberger3190]

I absolutely love this car! Great job

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Thanks!

[@FreddyBlanco-d5y]

Pro charger time for the Camaro 💪🏼💪🏼

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Agreed haha

[@gdb5448]

I disagree...there's just something so right about the sound and feel of a N/A high rpm small block...old school cool...plus, the car will struggle to hook as it is, a Procharger would make it down right uncontrollable.

[@LILStunnaMain]

Mike did my 2v and did a great job, made 370 at 8psi on that dyno on a stock ecu.

[@optoblog]

It's got Dukes of Hazard wheel play!

[@TheHandsOnGang561]

Absolutely cause it’s a new steering box. Like when you buy a new car everything feels stiff and tight, probably the same with an older box for the steering to a new one it’s like whoa! Did I do something wrong orrr it’s just new lol Car sounds awesome 🤙🏻

[@Good-ole-tom]

She’s pretty violent, love it, I put the same A1 Cardone fast ratio on my 69 Camaro, it has been driven probably only 500 miles, super tight, almost to tight, still getting used to it, trying to make time to finish mine up, love your car!!

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Nice! Good to hear I'm not the only one

[@Good-ole-tom]

@@ChrisSullivan69 something else to note, I’m still working bugs out of mine, I have a big block with 12 bolt posi, when it gets sideways it’s super easy to over correct, maybe I just need to get used to it or just drive better, lol, big block torque makes it easy to brake tires, I also have looks like same size and style steering wheel as you. Would a little larger closer to factory change things, I’m not sure, keep us updated, again thanks for bringing us along for the ride!!

[@frankmoyer-y9e]

I think you can adjust the tightness of those steering boxes with that adjustment bolt at the top. Loosen the jam nut, take it back a bit and see how she goes.

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

Worked for Cardone for 17 years as a Sales Rep. My Dad and Mr. Cardone (founder) were best friends before he died. Our training was working on each line with factory workers and I have to say the Steering Department was the worst. Calipers, water pumps, Brake Boosters, easy. The paint marks are the workers signature. If something fails that paint marker determines the person responsible. It was some good times though.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Very cool! Thanks for commenting

[@Trickyrickie]

Cam-A-ro has the one wheel peel going

[@coreyrowe2052]

It's actually the reverse. The Mustang Dyno is the "unforgiving" one. Regardless, this car RIPS! 500RWHP, naturally aspirated is AWESOME! People like to brag about their 1000-1200rwhp cars today but they can't get them to plant the tires on the street! Or they want to start from a roll so they don't lose traction. Old school drag racing meant you figure it out yourself, you didn't have traction control, awd or some computer figuring everything out for you! It took skill! 👍👍👍

[@dino-335]

Wait a minute, are we just gonna brush over the fact that the Cobra is still burning oil!?! I feel your pain from over here, Chris. Hoping it’s something dumb and you can get it sorted easily!

[@scottm2770]

I've lost track on this one. Have you changed the rear end. I think it was a 10 bolt - right? Great channel BTW! :)

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Yes still a 10 bolt for now

[@bobbyserchion]

Big chris man yell you got a ripple bad ass 😊😅😂

[@zachniverson8816]

Chris that motor at the crank is definitely north of 600 if my estimations are correct it is making roughly 630 to 650 hp and boy does it sound like it. My lord what an incredible car you built man... You have both my dream cars. Hey if i may can i suggest your next build/swap? I would love to see you get a notch back fox and swap a Coyote with a whipple on it and a complete maximum motorsports suspension. With your platform you could probably get their sponsorship since you have a large mustang following. Anyways love the content as always keep em comin down the pipeline and I will always tune in! Adios

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Good idea! Thanks for watching

[@midnight347]

Car guys don't even care about crank hp and I seriously doubt it's much over 600 if even that it did 513 rwhp. I could see maybe 600 but even that is being generous.

[@zachniverson8816]

@midnight347 lmao bro you don't know what your talking about. If you did you'd do the math and it checks out. He has good flowing heads and a big cam there's numerous ls3 making 600 to 650 at the crank. Typical valve train loss is typically 15%-20% on manuals and 20% -30% on automatics. He has a manual and I calculated a 25% loss which would account for the overage on the dyno if it was over at all because he stated in the video despite what brand it was that it was stingy so my estimations are on point. Learn to do math wise guy
