What highs and lows! Man what a turnaround! So stoked we got this going good and what most exciting is that there still more to wring out of it! I wanted to clear up something about the spark plugs, Liam and I cleaned them when but they are still the very old ones not new. This was the first time ever changed brands. Thank you guys for all the support with the shirts as merch so rad! I don’t have the budget to change the Engine management system on the legend at the moment. We are spread a bit thin with all the projects. So much new stuff up ahead and so excited for the ride! God bless you guys!!

[@carloskurica]

more boost=less gap? you dont realy talk about it, dunno if you mind it! great job overall!! thanks

[@K1LL3R_M1LL3R]

What is the combo? It is impressive. Looks like the gen 2 LT1, or LT4 setup. But what compression? Trans? Gearing? Stall? Stroked? Cam? It looks like a bad ass street ride. Is it streetable. I've always loved the C3 Corvettes, and currently building a 476 BBC for it. But u have always thought the C4 vettes make bad ass drag cars, and track cars. Great suspension setup, and they are lightweight @ 3000 pounds stock. Lastly, can you touch on the super-oxygenated fuel? Always love how technical and detailed your videos are. All those little details matter, and make power. Keep her hauling.

[@conneryuckel383]

[@CosRacecar]

Any chance the breakup is because you're putting so much fuel in the cylinders that you dont have enough energy in the spark to ignite the liquid? I know methanol dragsters run massive coils for that reason.

[@cheapscifi]

I was thinking the same. Maybe close the gaps on the plugs a little

[@MrPotatoehead2]

[@indyrock8148]

HEI module?

[@jclaydon3454]

Man that's AWESOME! Congratulations! Your Dad would be proud...

[@Grantelb4rt]

The Pump does more Volume with less Fuel Pressure, but probably the Injectors were the bottleneck. They only let so much through each time they Open, and more pressure puts more force behind it so you get more fuel for the same duty cycle :) I love all the Info you give about the issues you find and how you solve them! Keep doin what ya doin!

[@danielrowe2174]

I forgot about the injectiors. I know He was talking about that last video. That would help along with copper plugs and possibly a upgraded spark ignition module to deliver more efficient spark to the plugs.

[@johnbroskey2547]

Does that motor have a coolant temperature sensor? The fans not kicking in combined with the breaking up sounds like a cts.

[@keithmcelroy5658]

Jeremy, Have you checked the motor ground straps and eprom / ECU grounding? Also check that the battery ground has a good and CLEAN connection to frame / body. The break up could be caused by loose grounds or corrosion underneath the ground straps. I'd suggest taking off the old grounding wires to the motor and eprom / ECU and create new leads / straps. This might solve your issues. Why I'm suggesting this...…. When you reply the video it looks like your tail lights flicker when you're at the higher RPM's. I think the motor and ignition is pulling to much ground through old connections. I speak from a little experience as I worked for a company which created wiring harness for race cars.

I'd check your plug wires for resistance, clean out the inside of the cap on that hei and try gapping the new plugs. Dunno what your compression ratio is but my 13-1 small block likes a cold plug at 35 thousandths. I also run an msd hei. You're doing great work brother. Your dad is smiling down on you. I promise you that. Ps hei distributors are filthy inside. Clean every 500 miles or so on a hot rod such as this ✌

[@Fasterproms1]

Dr Recoil thank you will check it out. Oddly though one would think it is the plugs or gap as we haven’t had the problem before the swap.

[@Not_Sure_81]

@@Fasterproms1 You'll get her figured out brother. Those plugs do look awfully warm though. Maybe she doesn't like the fuel, either? Q16 is pretty stout. Usually don't need to get into that until you're at 14-1 compression. And there is such a thing as too much octane. Anyway, thanks for reading my comment. Hope it helps. Best wishes ✌ Do it for dad 👍

[@tmacie2]

Nice work! That breakup sounds really similar to the one that you were having before, just higher in the rpm range. Being a computer guy, I wonder if its the PROM chip that maybe has some bad address locations. Anyway, super cool that it is making 500WHP!

those older motors hate hate hate plat and iridium plugs. those things don't conduct well. gotta go with pure copper, silver or gold. brisk racing makes the best bang for buck silver racing plugs. I get about 20k miles outta them so they aren't just purely for racing.

[@Sharkey_t]

ngk BKR plugs are just a plain old copper plug, nothing fancy.

[@208Concepts]

@Chris Jacobs actually, it's not. Some control systems prefer resistive ignition components to dampen electrical noise. This is common with aftermarket ECUs as well.

[@208Concepts]

@Chris Jacobs and Ford, and Toyota......

[@Oldsoldiersays]

@@Sharkey_t you are right, i didn't even pay attention to the plugs he used.

[@Oldsoldiersays]

@Chris Jacobs what is bullshit? The fact that plat and iridium are terrible conductors? The fact that for performance you never want to use that junk because they are developed to last a long time(100k miles) not produce high energy or conduct well? Or the fact that on older engines that didn't have 60,000 volts powering each spark plug seperately sometimes they shared a single 25-45k coil across the entire system, the low conductivity of those high mileage plugs would cause issues in high performance engines. Please, tell me which part of reality is bullshit.

Hey, Jeremy....small question. Could you ballpark me on the price of a build? I'm looking to squeeze about 500HP to the wheels in a 2004 Z06 that is completely stock. (If the guy sells it to me.) I want to keep the car N/A and as reliable as possible for street and 'drive to' events.(Not planning to drag race or anything, maybe roll racing at events a few times a year). I know it would take heads, cam, etc, but I'm just trying to get a rough idea at what I can expect in cost to get the LS6 to 500whp before I can start planning the transmission, diff, gearbox, etc.

[@woodgrain18]

Awesome! I remember at the end of 2017 when I got my 99 Z28 first week pulled the ls1 with the plan to throw a stout bottom end in it (finally finished it about a month ago lol) so I threw low mile 05 4.8 in it with some king rod bearings and arp bolts a nasty little cam from LJMS and pac springs and trunion upgrade I sent my 799' to TSP and got the stage 2.5 CNC port and build and a black aluminum summit intake and 90mm TB FIC 160's e90 fuel and dry NX plate with a baby 50 shot a Huron speed v3 single kit with a VS billet wheel 78mm turbo th400 ptc converter Holley HP ECU I got most of the parts for when the ls1 was done but after we got decent tune in it and ran a 6.77 foot braking it on waste gate (boost only) I was super happy but after I got the car dialed all the way in it went a best of 5.67 at 118mph at 3285# and .69's & 70s all day 4.Gr8 all day but when my other motor got finished I wanted to push the sbe 4.8 a little harder and see what it would do I made a mistake with the nitrous jet and bent 6 rods.
