The Ultimate Guide to 1000HP LS Engines

[@flcowboydc]

Chad is a GOOD DUDE; I purchase a 4.6 Stroker from him. I was on the way back to Florida called him and he HOOKED me up, Thanks Chad!

[@NickDoddTV]

Happy Golen Engine customer right here 🖐️

[@golenengineservice]

Good to see you Nick!! Hope all is well. Chad

[@constantineandreu9377]

Thanks for the content🙏 You definitely know what your doing and talking about👍

[@dustins91s10]

These are the type of videos I’ve been waiting to see from Golen!

[@golenengineservice]

Got a lot more coming very soon, good LS tech videos for guys building them at home!! Thanks for checking them out

[@davecolquhoun9315]

They build great engines

[@golenengineservice]

Thanks Dave!! Keep us posted on your build, can’t wait to see it finished

[@davecolquhoun9315]

Do not worry, you will be part of the start up, and I am hopeful that will be soon!!!

[@cdallas1987]

Great video, you should do one of these for the 4.6 stroker.

[@golenengineservice]

Jeep videos are coming in December, lot of good info and some off-roading!! Stay tuned

[@TJV-n3e]

It sure isn't a budget build by no means us poor folks can't afford it

[@jackhamrjcky77]

Thank you for my 515hp n/a l83

[@golenengineservice]

Glad you’re enjoying it!!!

How does this compare to the LSX block

[@jeffreylynch3203]

Hey Chad!

[@samstewart4807]

hi, do you think the dart iron block is substantially stronger than the hi.po. chevy iron block? if yes, what are the major differences?

[@golenengineservice]

@@samstewart4807 you talking about the GM LSx cast iron block? If so the Dart is stronger but you can make all the power with the LSx but it is more expensive than the Dart

[@jeffreyrue4569]

Love you guys 🙏👍🤙🐼😎🤙🤟🤟🤟

[@adamgolen2153]

Thank you buddy.

[@MichaelScudder72]

Any good results using the Dart 225 or larger cathedral port heads in a stroker application?

[@golenengineservice]

I have used the Dart cathedral port heads to make some healthy hp on boost. Main thing is the charger moving enough cfm into the engine to make the power. I’ve made 900 hp on stock GM # 317 heads with larger valves and light porting , your Dart head flows much better!!!

[@MichaelScudder72]

@@golenengineservice what about in an NA only stroker 403"-440" (4.005"-4.185" bore)

[@golenengineservice]

@@MichaelScudder72 you can make 550hp plus with the right cam and intake combo. Main thing is to not go too big on the cam size , BTR LS1 stage 3 works well on the street and will get you in this range with ease.

[@MichaelScudder72]

@@golenengineservice I've been hanging on to an EPS cathedral port stroker cam(244°/256° .629"/.624"). Was wondering if Dart heads with 2.055"/1.60" valves would be a good option on a 4.005"-4.030" bore stroker. A lot of people bash Dart LS heads

[@golenengineservice]

They’re not the best head out there but they will get the job done for sure. That is a really big cam for that size head, I’ve seen much better results with smaller cams for street engines

[@JohnBoyBuilds]

Hey guys if youre looking to build a 1000hp LS ....step one ...DONT Bc LS shit is now too expensive for the average guy. Step 2 . Buy a complete LL8 for 150-200 bucks COMPLETE Step 3 . Amazon turbo and a tune and a custom grind cams and boom you got 800hp to the tires for less than 2 grand

[@adamgolen2153]

Many different engines for many different people. We build Ls engines, so that is what we are going to promote.

[@DonzLockz]

Haha, I want a build that lasts more than a week!😂😂😂

[@BillyP-49Chevy]

That's great but you're talking about only a thousand horsepower and that can be done all day reliably with a junkyard motor. So that's wasted money unless you plan on going 2000 horsepower plus down the road. Why were the average guy was money on that block for only a thousand horsepower? Just simply asking a question.....

[@adamgolen2153]

Understandable if this engine is not in most people’s budget, but for the guys that have the cash and want reliability, this is the way to go

[@davecolquhoun9315]

@@BillyP-49Chevy ask Joe Simpson if going junkyard is the best way to go. He would say yes if you like building junkyard engines, haaa haaa ,

[@Adrianzx]

You dont need a dart block

[@mr.c5217]

Only guys that don't want to make more power say that.

[@Adrianzx]

@@mr.c5217 im over 1100hp on junk yard 5.3 the oiling isnt as good as a dart but replacements are cheap

[@adamgolen2153]

True. You don’t need a dart block. But putting a businesses name on a hope and pray isn’t the way we work.

@@adamgolen2153 oh i agree with that. I wouldn't roll the dice with a customer

[@ConcussedGaming]

6.0 Gen 4. Iron block with stock Gen 4 rods and pistons. Ebay turbo. Gapped rings. There you go saved you $37,456 and you still have a 1000hp capable LS.......🙄.

[@adamgolen2153]

1,000 capable but how long until you window the block. Using superior parts allow 1,000 stress free reliable HP

[@funfun8095]

Wow! I subscribed, then saw nearly all your videos are under 40 seconds! What's the point!? AND anyone can build a 1000 horse LS, for under 3000.00 with a turbo! 5k+ for that block!? I don't think so. No point in going with an aftermarket block, unless you're going to be over 1500 horse and even then stock blocks are fine. They've made over 2000 horse on stock 5.3 aluminum blocks! LOL

[@KingJT80]

Yeah anyone can do what you said But don't have people rebuilding their engines every season 😅😂 Do it once and do it right And you made 2000hp with a 5.3 block? Or your friends cousins father did? 😅😂

[@funfun8095]

@@KingJT80 There is plenty of evidence of it. People have even made close to that with a 4.8. Do your research, before you open your ignorant mouth. Look up Nigel NTST went 4.19 with a 5.3. Look up Richard Holdener Big Bang 6.0

[@kylemilligan752]

​@@KingJT80 I'll be that guy. How many miles do you expect out your "aftermarket parts" LS block/heads around the 1000-1500whp level before it needs to be taken apart and maintenanced? We are not talking about 100k mile engines. You light the candle, hope it burns brightly before it's done.

[@KingJT80]

@@kylemilligan752 why start with a junkyard parts if you're gonna try to make that much power? That makes no sense. You'll lift a head or worse Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. A 600hp 408 LS stroker is way more reliable at that point

[@wilhelmvo6399]

This guy is a joke you'll need this block and shit to make 2k HP but 1k not needed it's been proven 30k ring gap and and ebay turbo and a good waste gate full send

[@adamgolen2153]

Are you able to make a 1,000hp with out this formula? Yes. But as a business owner, would you put your reputation on a junk yard build or use top quality parts for years of abuse

[@jamayajackson5256]

The point he's trying to make, is it's not difficult to make over 1000 hp at all. There's no "secrets" to it. Biggest problem comes from factory heads lifting and flexing. I've been at 1227 hp for like 3 years on factory block with athena type fire ring gaskets and never had issues.

[@mr.c5217]

How long will it last?

[@jeffreylynch3203]

Chad is the real deal. He builds in confidence. He and Paul cannot be compared. And he gets things done, no bullshit. 4 head bolts is for grenades. His motors run forever.
