Reconfiguring A 427 LSX From Naturally Aspirated To Supercharged - Engine Power S8, E8

[@LS1NNOVATIONS]

I'm just amazed that 6 rib belt isn't slipping hardcore. That factory tensioner is the true hero of this story.

[@AB-80X]

That will slip. Most run 10 or 12 rib with the Magnuson 2650.

[@petercacchioli319]

I just had one of these added to my 6.2 LS. 200 HP addition.

[@MrUltraworld]

Nearly 800hp on just 6lbs of boost! Big power that's going to last.

[@Brendentosto]

It’s mostly due to cubic inch, the more cubic inch the less boost it will make. If this blower were on a smaller inch LS it would probably make 10 psi.

[@darrenroot4562]

@@Brendentosto not only that, but it has high flow heads and a big cam

[@robertcranwell7847]

This is a built 427 it should make that much power, Raceprovenmotorsports has a video with a 6.2 on 8lbs of boost making this much power.

[@civic2980]

How about not ruining the video in the first comment. Jackass

[@177SCmaro]

There is something to that. I'm almost 600hp with a turbo Coyote on 5-6psi with the stock cams and heads. Even dropped compression to 9/1. I think a lot of it has to do with nearly 300cfm from those 4 valve heads.

[@shanecloyd6646]

I'm from a GM Family. My late dad plus he was a WW2 Navy vet, my late brother, and my late brother- n- law he was a Vietnam Veteran. My dad worked at Delco Battery, Muncie Indiana, my brother and brother- n- law worked at Fisher Guide, in Anderson Indiana. They would be proud of those awesome new Chevrolet power plants.

[@chandlerlofton6536]

So glad y’all showed the supercharger guys some love!

[@ericadams4226]

I love how Pat thinks of the details in real-time by adding 2 psi of boost and using a smaller pulley to milk some extra ponies outta the LSX!

[@sean5comet]

Pulley swap away from 900hp if you get 9psi out of that supercharger. It can easily go up if need be. High hp with the lower boost is nice though, probably last longer and be more street friendly.

[@michaelbannan9972]

For real. As cool as it is to see the big numbers, knowing they're using a really high octane race fuel makes the point moot. Most people aren't using race fuel in their builds unless it's a full on track car.

[@midnight347]

​@@michaelbannan9972 trying to build high hp with low octane fuel just isn't smart. That is a quick way to blow shit up trying to push things on low octane.

They aren't the best engines out there but whatever lol. Coyotes and condor/trinity v8 4v fords and 03-04 cobra 4.6 4v motors all can make big power with just boost on a stock long block with way less cubic inches than the 7 liters shown here. Doing it with 4.6, 5.0, 5.4 or 5.8 liters max is dope. Dohc + boost is like a cheat code. This thing is a built highly modified 7 liter lsx.

[@mindeloman]

"After the AMC fans brought out their pitchforks and torches, Detroit Muscle wisely decided to use the 304." Damn straight! Far too many, "went with a LS engine," builds. Even if it's a LSX, putting a GM engine in an AMC heresy. From my vantage point, only AMC should go in an AMC. And I would be totally behind a punched-out and/or stroked 401. Because AMC was the "little car company that could," and to use anything but AMC is disrespecting the legacy. AMC fans are a loyal crowd and will always pull for the underdog.

[@meatybtz]

the biggest issue here is that no one makes "new" products for AMC engines. All the product lines have not been updated or re-engineered for the last 30 years. Powernation works off manufacturers giving them parts to hype. There is just no money in AMC. And this is coming from a real AMC fan. I've owned and raced Javelins, Rebels, Matadors, the works. I've built AMC engines that do go fast. But the reality is that engineering for ICE's has come so far from AMC that it is crude and limited. A lot of engineering advances have been "backported" to the Chevy 350 (the classic small block) and GM continues to build newer and better engines.

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

What happened to the other guy with Pat? I think it was Mike Galley...

[@utahcountypicazospage5412]

always liked at least 10 to 1 compression with a boosted application because I can keep boost low and make great power.

[@midnight347]

I mean at the end of the day cylinder pressures are about the same either way weather it's higher boost lower compression or visa versa. It might keep iat down and make recovery time better and be easier to cool the blower but I don't think it's really much better on the engine itself but at the same time some blowers don't like to be ran at such low boost and perform more optimally at a higher boost level. Each blower has an efficiency island that you should try to stay within for best results and not go under or over that.

[@thetreblerebel]

Heat exchanger? Intercooler..maybe?

[@trickyrickie4828]

Hey Pat when are you going to put that Mopar on the dyno

[@bigal878]

I’d love to see that with 10 PSI boost. 👍🏻

[@jamieschinkai1267]

It would make about 875hp. It adds 22.5 hp/pound, with 650 as it’s normally aspirated base line. 650+225=875. All this considering the blower could even move that much air in the first place.

[@stevesolo16]

I think this proves two senerios. First, if you are building this for racing, go with a turbo charger. Second, the supercharged engine would be great in a street car, and there are different pulley combos to fine tune your engine.

They said the motor made 647hp all motor 19:05 min into this video. Then they bought a $7k supercharger not including accessories and only added about 140hp? Seems Waste of money. The dollars don't make cents.

[@robertcranwell7847]

It's a 427 that's built up from a previous episode, adding Octane booster to 93 and with the 2650 supercharger they should be hitting 950-1K Horsepower. They could hit 785HP with a built 6.2 IMO. Race Proven Motorsports does this all day on their channel.
