HOW TO MAKE BIG 6.0L LS POWER! FULL DYNO RESULTS ON CAMS, INTAKES AND (OF COURSE) PROCHARGER BOOST!

HOW CAN I MAKE MORE, CHEAP 6.0L HORSEPOWER? HOW MUCH POWER WILL MY 6.0L MAKE? WHAT MAKES MORE POWER, SINGLE-PATTERN OR DUAL-PATTERN PROFILE? HOW MUCH POWER DOES A PROCHARGER SUPERCHARGER ADD TO AN LS? HOW MUCH POWER IS A CAM SWAP WORTH ON A 6.0L LS? WHAT CAM SHOULD IT RUN ON MY 6.0L LS. DO I NEED TO RUN A DEDICATED CARBURETOR CAM ON MY CARBURETED LS? WHAT MAKES MORE POWER, CARBURETOR OR EFI? HOW GOOD IS THE FACTORY LS3 INTAKE? CAN I RUN A DUAL-PLANE, HOLLEY INTAKE ON MY 6.0L LS? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I COMPARED A SINGLE-PATTERN CAM TO A DUAL-PATTERN CAM, A CARBURETED INTAKE TO AN EFI INTAKE AND THEN ADDED A PROCHARGER D1SC CENTRIFUGAL SUPERCHARGER. THIS VIDEO SHOWS HOW TO MAKE MORE 6.0L LS POWER.

nice test. this would be a great muscle car engine

[@senseimarvin454]

Look at the shape of the horsepower curve. It has a ripple in the curve, the dual plane curve is smooth. I think its probably a function of very even runner length in the EFI manifold, the resonant frequencies of each runner being the same causes the sine wave ripple as rpm's increase. The dual plane has all very different length runners which cancel out each others tuned lengths. Basically one has a natural filter. Also the obverall shape of the two horsepower curves are different, so naturally the two curves will cross twice.

[@ceoelektronika8604]

This will be interesting!

[@jeromeadams5692]

Currently waiting for my 402 (6.6L) stroker build to finish. My LS2 block was junk so went 6.0 iron block (30 over), forged eagle crank, forged eagle i beam rods, SRP Pro dish pistons (shooting for 11:1), unported fast 102, TSP Magic Stick 3 (238/242, .600', 112 LSA, 110 ICL), comp cam lifters, ARP head studs and mains, king bearings, new Monster Lt1s twin disc, Fast 58 injectors, Aeromotive 325lph fuel pump, full exhaust…. Hoping for 520+ wheel and then maybe add boost later. Still a daily, hence the mild cam (2006 corvette). Replacing torque tube bushing and bearings as well $$$$$$$ 😢

6 liter goodness! Wish you would have run the 223/223 cam with the LS3 intake too. But, time constraints most likely overruled that test.

[@richardholdener1727]

same results

[@logansspeedshop7900]

I just swapped a 69 firebird with an ly6 and almost the same exact camshaft from the Holley dual plane with a sniper to factory intake with terminator x!!! This is a bummer for me haha. Definitely doesn’t have the torque it used to I’ll say that

[@ericordemann5806]

Richard thank you so much for including the carb setups with this video! Was curious what your thoughts are on the older BTR stage 2 cam with the dual plane on the 6.0 rect setup? Also what do you find is the sweet spot for timing on the carb setups like this? Cheers!

[@richardholdener1727]

any cam works with carbs, and total timing at hp peak is usually near 30

[@ericordemann5806]

Thank you for the reply, do you know if BP used the oem dished type pistons on this one or flat tops like an LQ?

[@craig8187]

On the 1st test the dual pattern cam is big compared to the single pattern so hp up and tq down would be expected. A dual plane more like 220/238ish 112lsa would be a closer equivalent. Likewise a single pattern of mid 230's@50 would be closer equiv to that dual pattern.

[@richardholdener1727]

the true test is matching the intake duration

[@lilpacman204]

Good evening, first i'd like to say thanks for a lot of information and also I'm new to this. I have a old cargo Van with a 6 old engine absolutely love it but I use it for work daily use, so reliability is a big thing and I also told a 7 by 14 in closed trailer. I'm getting high on a mileage and I would like to rebuild it. I wanted to know what would it take for me to get around 450 torque and maybe 425 hp. Mainly because I run a lot of the highway but I also run a lot of the Midwest northeast mountains. I know GM came out with the new 66. But I actually love my cargo bank and everything works completely fine and The engine is just getting higher in mileage and just wanted to overhaul it.

[@mikkokuorttinen3113]

I'm amazed by the level of torque the carb set up produced around 3000rpm! The carb produced torque level was almost comparable to the turbo set up at 3000. Richard, I wonder has the magnitude of the 'lower' rpm torque here anything to do with the over sized carburator? Did you happen to measure the air/gas ratio during both set ups? I'd love to hear your thoughts behind these!

[@richardholdener1727]

we monitor and optimize AF ratio on every test

[@nintendogamer5472]

Most likely an error, as he said all the tests he has done have not produced same results.

[@DWBmotorsports]

@@nintendogamer5472lol an error 😂

[@gregwestphal]

The 227/243 Comp Cam made more low-speed torque compared to the BPE cam from 3300 to 4700 rpm, where their torque curves appear to meet. Then it continues making more torque (and hp) to the top end.

[@richardholdener1727]

the 227 cam made less low speed (watch the video again)

[@gregwestphal]

@@richardholdener1727 I did, even watched it frame by frame when the Comp Cam hp/torque curves were added to the graph. I know the bigger cam usually doesn't make more low RPM torque, but this one did. Maybe it's the carb manifold that made the difference...

[@richardholdener1727]

the 227 cam made less low speed than the single pattern

What would happen with a 227/231 620 lift cam. Curious cause that's what I've got in my ls3 64cc head lq9. 92mm tb, ls3 intake. Should be pretty close. I do plan on running boost.

Stupid question. Every parts store gives math for carburetor sizing. Like- cu in x rpm/ 3456 or some other constant. But these Dino motors run bigger carbs. I’m guessing Dino motors don’t do much part throttle stuff? I’m figuring a 650 for the 6L and Richard is using a 900 cfm…

[@richardholdener1727]

the carb size is not determined by cubic inches-it is determined by hp-and part throttle works fine on this motor

[@michaelgarrow3239]

@@richardholdener1727 -Thank you. So like 1.5 cfm per horsepower? Probably not that simple… 😎

that is more difficult since the carb airflow is not always the rated size

Like his Honda videos , hemi videos , older Mopar videos , Cleveland videos , Buick videos , 3800 videos , poncho videos, dodge omni, BBC videos and modular videos? Most of his tests are motors in the shop , or test motors for the most popular builds they're employed to do. LS is the most popular platform these days. Pay westech to play with something different and I dare say it may end up on the channel with some encouragement it may end up on the platform.
