Josh's Car Corner - Ep. 59 - How much power does the GTO make?

[@likedrickjones549]

Looking at this makes me ready to get my gto back on the road

[@scottmorrison147]

My '05 GTO still kicking Mustang ass!

[@richardwilson6787]

Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. Really interesting stuff. Especially appreciate your detailed parts list. Gives me ideas for my L76

[@CarsSimplified]

That the kind of power curve I would like to have on my GTO. Very nice cam profile!

[@TexasGTO]

Nice! I just put an LSA on mine! Can[t wait for dyno day.

[@streydogs]

Love the content Josh, your build series makes me really excited to build my GTO as soon as i save up. Keep up the great content.

[@richmcdowell]

Damn good numbers imo. Owned my 04 since 2008 with ZERO plans of letting it go. Just more modifications. Haha

[@Ma77riK]

my 05 6.0 gto has 206,000 completely factory miles on it and made 349 wheel hp on a merciless dyno dynamics dyno.

[@slowgoat6089]

Only 349 wheel hp?! WHY?

[@Ma77riK]

@@slowgoat6089 thats factory wheel hp, if you factor in drivetrain loss you get around 400 crank hp

[@Conker999]

This is why this car is such an amazing daily. Great power, reliability, and comfort. MPG on the highway isn't too bad either.

[@keitho64]

Great video. That is a fantastic torque curve which makes for a fun ride.

[@peterlee6745]

Im in UK. My Monaro VXR 5.7 Stock is 385bhp.with Air intake 389bhp. this is Fine 4 UK Roads . Thanks Josh

[@gregnissen3950]

This was another very good video Josh. Thanks for making it.

[@GTOHawg]

Not bad man considering the conditions. I know it feels great. Especially that slight car shake you get at times. My 04 with bolt-ons and a RPM level 5 tranny with a Vig 3k stall put down 330hp on the dyno. My first cam was a 228r and I loved it...but Of course I blew that motor and dropped in a LS3 short-block stroker 418. But hey. Gotta pay to play. Keep that Goat looking good. 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@v88dicky32]

Great car. Love the plate, a little nod to Holden perhaps? 👍🏻

[@ugapug5150]

Respectable numbers Josh.

Great video Josh!

Fun info and well organized. Just subbed.

Good numbers ever thought about doing a lsa blower?

You deserve way more loyal subscribers than you currently have

CallMe Instinktz Loyalty is earned, I would never ask for it. Having said that, I am only 20 or so subs away from 2000. Never thought that would happen!

[@jojolol4823]

@@JoshsCarCorner I know this is old but you earned one more today. Looking at a yellow 2004 currently and all your videos are answering my questions. Wish I could afford the LS2 car but it is what it is. It's already cammed he said a 227 I know we need more numbers lol. Full exhaust and cold air so hopefully puts close to the 350 to wheels. 102,000 miles and 5 grand

[@rudykremer2469]

Josh, I have an ‘06 with just under 80k mostly highway miles. I’m due for a suspension/bushing replacement. I would love to get your .02!

Hi Im in UK Brought a Monaro VXR 5.7 Stock engine 4 this is 387. just Cold air intake.U need like mine is the 2 dails on Top of Dash Oil / water. yours looks Bear . Great Vid Mate

[@JoshsCarCorner]

I have something in the works for that...

[@msatchmo]

Josh great video and explanations. I've always heard the streetsweeper ht was supposed to be good for a daily driver although it's intake/exhaust and lift numbers are a bit higher. 228*-232*-111*-.612"-.600. Do you have any thoughts on this cam shaft or what it would do compared to your powercurve?

[@JoshsCarCorner]

If I could do it again, I probably would have gone with a bit more duration, something like 224/230. On a stock LS2 head, there's not a lot more to be gained with going over .600 lift, the head just won't support it. Stock cathedral port heads tend to run out of airflow over .550 lift. Also, it means you most likely will have to run dual valve springs and heavy duty rockers, but that's another discussion entirely.

[@StrykerWolf92]

In your experience are the gm flex fuel sensors really accurate? Like could they pick up around 0-10% percent ethanol that's found in the pump gas here in California?

[@JoshsCarCorner]

David totally. My sensor always picks up 10 to 11% ethanol content on regular pump gas. I would say they're accurate to within 2%.

[@sknfjuebc]

I like that guys lingo

[@biomanjv]

Are you still running the factory rear differential ?

[@JoshsCarCorner]

I have a Truetrac and 3.70 gears

[@invertedpolarity6890]

Next best car to get that is very similar to the GTO, is the C5 and C6 Corvette. And about 600 lb less weight.

[@JoshsCarCorner]

Love the number plate , pays a little homage to its roots ⁉️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍

[@tommyspencer7891]

Good stuff Josh. With those numbers, do you figure you're close to 500 HP at the flywheel?

[@JoshsCarCorner]

Tommy Spencer Close, but not quite. Probably around 490 at the crank

[@tommyspencer7891]

Did your cam swap kill the mpg? I thought you said you still get 22ish?? I'm thinking it would have hurt an automatic more as far as mpg. What do you think a 228/232 cam would do for you? Power wise, driveability, mpg, etc??? Thanks!

[@J117-x7l]

Is it the ls2 or ls1?

[@RUDEdrummerr]

'04 is LS1, '05-2 is LS2

[@kenhall9381]

Not bad. ABout 15 hp/ 20 tq more than my auto.

[@invertedpolarity6890]

What kind of gas mileage are you getting?

[@JoshsCarCorner]

Shane Broussard Surprisingly, about 19.5 MPG on E55. I thought it'd be a lot less, cuz when I run it on straight E85 it's been more like 16.

[@garywalter5841]

My 06 stock makes 400hp 400 fps so he did what to get what and why disappointed. YEAH

[@JoshsCarCorner]

And now you don't understand the difference between power measured at the crankshaft and power measured at the wheel. I say keep going, because this is getting more and more entertaining!

[@StelioKontos42069]

gary you're an idiot

[@JB54379]

Surprised you brought it up to almost 7,000 rpm's when redline is a little over 6,000 rpm's. Not good for the engine IMO.

[@JoshsCarCorner]

The bottom end can easily support it. The factory redline is 6,600 RPM. The valvetrain is the weak link to revving it higher and that's been upgraded.

[@JB54379]

@@JoshsCarCorner Great to hear about the valvetrain. I was hoping you weren't revving that many RPM's stock. I love my 2004, that I've owned since new and bought, stock. One owner, me. I would love to beef it up but there are so many options I'm not sure which to go if I ever do. I love the car stock. The 2004 stock exhaust is the best and it still offers power that will beat 98% of the cars on the road today. Heads and cam are what I am thinking but I personally am not certain. What is your suggestion for the best priced, highest horsepower option, for the LS1 2004 GTO's?

[@messermaddness3276]

You had to make a video of what Google already has? 400 hp 400 tq thanks google... less time wasted...

[@garywalter5841]

I don't want to be rude but this guy knows little to nothing so don't take his advise one example cams a cam is set to the flow rate of your head's you don't take a stock motor and throw a high lift cam. The. Flow rate of you head's determines the duration of your cam you will lose power and efficiency with the wrong cam this gentleman has no clue it shows in the engine output with the parts you should be 500 plus only God knows what other mistakes he made I'm not downing this guy he's a nice person and I'm sure he means well I was not going to say anything but to save other's from wasted time and money I got to say something he would have been better of with a chip a good tune and change shift points if a 4 speed auto you can get more out of your car than he did my friend did this and got 43hp and a good torque curve a 6.0 starts with 400 hp so did he go up or down

[@iamthatguytheonlyone]

Hub dynos are more accurate

[@eddiespagetti8395]

I had over 640 HP in my gto. I just couldn't handle the transmission problems and rear end was swap to ford 9 inch and just a money pit. Better vehicles to do up. These things are joke really. Yuppy gto. Give real gto old school a bad name. These cars suck. I know. I had 1. Waste of time. I dumped thousands into do up a 383 stroker. Still it sucks

[@S58PSHIFTING]

I tell you what, just take it somewhere else next time, this individual doesn't seem to know what he's doing.

[@garywalter5841]

That's a fact thank you for the truth

[@garywalter5841]

One more thing the hp of a motor has nothing to do with torque who knows what he is thinking but he needs a class or two on auto performance someone please help this guy out before he hurts himself 🐑🚬

[@JoshsCarCorner]

The equation to calculate horsepower is simple: Horsepower = Torque x RPM / 5,252. Explain your inability to understand this.
