Richard you're killing it pumping out these quality videos every day

By the time he gets done making all his videos he’s going to have a whole volume of engine combos! Keep crushing it, love this channel!

Can we see some max effort NA LS combos 4.8 to 7.0L

Love that naturally aspirated big one

While my budget is more the China turbo on junkyard longblock level, I’ve always liked the big NA stuff.

I got giddy at the end when you posted Brian’s 454 LS7 build! 😁 I followed that build closely back when he was putting it all together. Many years back, and not long after he did the 454, he helped me design a very special TFS 235 HR combo for my 12:1 402 LS2 that made 550whp SAE on a Dynapack in a GTO. Both of you are great for this community. Keep the good content coming, Richard! 👍🙌

I don't even care about LS engines but I enjoy watching your videos. Always something to learn that applies to any engine.

Keep them coming Richard Holdener!!!!! The best channel on KZfaq.

He gonna go all the way boys! Keep'em comin'!

N/a and turbo is what i watch for!

I absolutely love this content. I was going to go with a 460 build, or a 383 stroker, but for practicality and value, I will probably just go LS. Great stuff, as always!!

My new favorite channel. Your dropping some real knowledge bro 💯 Keep those videos coming!!!!

Man few years ago back I build an engine just like 1 you built it. an I made about same horse changed a few things after going in the truck and that truck runs today. We have watched ur stuff in past when budget was running low n thinking what can we do to make 50 more lbs or 50 more horse before we get 1 in n I will be first to admit that I did a few things u did n got the extra lil bit I needed. I owe you a thank you from a couple years ago Richard

I like this series keep them coming

I like the torque curve on the stroker ls7 and the Ken Bell ls3. I'm a 4.Gr8 VS racing spinny boi combo kinda guy. Always a 200 shot on the 500hp 5.3l for a good time. This video is like the Better Homes and Gardens cook book of LS, follow a recipe and ya can't go wrong. Just really good stuff. I remember reading my HRM in the 90's and 450hp was really something on an engine. All good stuff, keep it up!

That 454 was stout with all the torque.

I love this series Richard. I would love to see more LSX 454 crate stuff

Thank you for sharing all your knowledge sir.. love the ls videos!!

Thanks you very much, my cousin won't know what happened to him or his G8.

I know you’re a big LS guy, but I’ve always wanted to see a Viper hit 1000 N/A

I think this just proves that the junkyard turbo 4.8/5.3 is the best combo for your average hotrodder on a budget. Cruising at 2000 RPM, you're just a downshift away from 500+ lb-ft across the board.

That 454 at the end is killer! Pump gas too! I want to build that combo now!

I'm all about the big cubes and making power everywhere n the RPM range, throwing boost at it just makes it more fun. Who doesn't like 1500hp on 14psi instead of 30psi? More room to turn it up.

Your channel will continue to grow with all this good content. Thanks

That NA 454 is pretty sweet! Thanks.

That's one badass LS6. Sleeper C5 ZO6

Milo probably thinks you lost it, "he is allways talking to himself". Thanks for another great video.

Turbos might be the hot ticket right now but it's good to see some big inch all motors making big power.

Love some turbos but the na and nitrous combos are awesome as well. I'd love to put a big inch nitrous combo together and put in my Nova when money allows but until then I'll live vicariously through you

We need a big tubo vs small turbo video run at the same boost level. I've heard a lot of folks talk about the bigger tubo making more power at the same boost level as a small turbo but I've never saw any concrete evidence.

I fully agree with your assessment of Yul Brynner. Don't forget him as The Gunslinger in the original Westworld and Futureworld. And the King of Siam in The King and I.

I know all the cool combo are neat but just turning up the boost will work on them. Didn't think the destroked 6 liter was in my mind a 4.8. It's cool but was hoping for a addition of a 4.8 with more boost. Keep them coming.. 4.8 lover here. Lol.

Keep posting! Always been an N/A person but for today’s power levels on pump gas boost it is

Nice Videos and very helpful despite the 4 Haters.... I still can't wait till 454 BBC big bang

I love this stuff...bring on the 800 h.p.!!

Richard you answered sll my questions and absolutely killed any of my worries

I think the reason he used the cathedral heads on that 7.0l is they tend to have a better torque curve provided you have them ported for flow with good port speed. The ls3's and ls7 castings are great for bolt on performance with really good peak flow numbers(320+) but the exhaust and midrange flow numbers I think(depends on head of course amd port work)are slightly better with a higher port velocity, hence a 705hp cathedral 450ci ls7, though I think he could have gone higher with an ported ls7 intake or aftermarket good intake and cnc ported ls7 based castings, but I bet the torque curve would suffer, I mean that's freaking flat over a very broad Rev range, put some boogy in it!

Really dig the n/a builds great content thank you

This is kinda exciting to watch. I know nothing of engine combos and nothing of power adder's. I just know I would like a lot of horsepower and torque at a reliable stand point. A daily driver with dependable power. I have the 5.3 Tahoe and the 5.3 Yukon. Hoping to get my 5.3 Tahoe built ready for a turbo combo. Reliable power

Comment for the algorithm. Thanks for the awesome videos!

Saw your 5.3 vs 6.0 and I had to subscribe. These are brilliant. Do you do a podcast??

No replacement for displacement! Love that BTR 480. Now to save pennies

Good camera quality goes a long way. Love the videos

I like them all , ran Procharger first then went to turbo and like latter the best by far .

Great series! Been following closely.. I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into these taking out a lot of guess work and questions about any 1 particular build. Just in time too for my turbo forged 6.0 iron L96 with stock LSA crank and cam.. boostline rods and Wiseco -11cc pistons.. 65cc LS3 style heads.. trying too break 700whp on a pump gas build (maybe a small additive) with 7875 gen 2 VS RACING turbo.. same turbosmart valving and electronic controller.. I think I'll be close and have pretty decent reliability is the goal

I like the n/a stuff but have decided to turbo my forged 5.3 even with 10.5:1 compression. I'll just run as much boost I can on pump gas and enjoy it.

Wish you would put a parts list in the description. Good video

loving this channel, awesome content!!!

I'll admit I'm a Coyote guy. Looking forward to the next Coyote video. That said, the LS motors are awesome. Great videos. Thanks....

These videos are great. Lots of great combos and fantastic no BS information. I've been digging looking for a trustworthy video and I don't believe you've done it yet on a max effort SBE N/A combo. Heads (TSP/TrickFlow/MAST) milled for max compression, Cam, link bar Johnson lifters, FAST (maybe ported) intake, 102mm TB. Really wanting to do something like that in an M6 1LE Camaro.

Too many info in this best channel. Thankfully

You're killing it with these videos Richard! Destroked LS7 soon?

I definitely can not afford that ls7 hybrid. Cool series. Thanks for sharing.

Best Culinary Recipes

Glad to see the ls7 getting some attention. Know it's probably not as popular as the smaller boosted stuff but in the right hands, it can be very impressive. Wonder what power levels BTR could've reached with proper heads and intake? Would love more streetable max effort na builds for comparison's sake. Great channel. Keep it up!

These are some great numbers, keep it up buddy, LS power. Might get rid of my 455 bb Buick.

The videos are full of info. Hands on. Good shiz. You're the man. Thank you brotha

The "strange dip" is spring harmonics I'd bet.

Keep building power brother

Dang that’s 670 HP NA, that’s nuts

760 Hp naturally aspirated is pretty bad ass. Didnt think you could make that power with an LS without boost. But didn't count on the sleeved block wither

Turbos are cool, but building a monster NA combo is awesome

Well I think imma go with the tt on my Chevy tahoe and keep it as a sleeper.. for the Ford guy's with they EcoBoost v6s.. thanks for the video

Waaaaaaaaaait Stop . Did you say that you felt that the cathedral heads would hold back the 454? But....but...... but cathedral heads are awesome! And you felt that the FAST 102 was not a good choice for big power?? You're really hurting my feels, Richard. Love you!

Serious information as always, good motors.

Good job!!

Nice just need more 6.2L lt1 truck motors

What about 5.3 with 4 300 zx turbo 90 that do you think it would do I I figure random through each other would be to much back pressure make a white pipe and goes through 2 turbos per side To lower back pressure Do you think it be a runner or a flop

Love the N/A stuff.

yeah love the N/A build. little something for everyone.

How much a stock bottom 6.2 can take? I heard you can run up to 800 is that true? Please let me know, great videos 👍👍👍

Richard I would love to see the results of a high compression na motor take boost. Everyone knows it’s wrong but.......... well thats what you do!

Brian T’s 454 LS7 featured in this video: m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pteqdpWjybq-f6M.html Sadly, he doesn’t truly go WOT here, but the heartbeat of this monster is still worth a view! 🙌❤️

Notice how there’s always some background noise 😂 like someone was sawing. Video the other day sounded like someone was chopping onions in the same room lol.

I’d like to see a high compression NA solid roller setup. I did a 15-1 Warhawk solid roller setup. But the guy has never ran it. Wondering what it would’ve made.

Very cool movie picks!

Yeah I grew up with the old magnificent seven sorry to say though the newer version I do like a little better

I knew it was the haircut!!! 😹😹😹

I love a turbo, but 700 on pump gas NA is hard not to love also

*4.8 700hp combos “Here’s the 4.8, well except it’s not a 4.8 in any sense other than crank, different block, bore, rods pistons, heads, cam.

I'm wondering which horsepower levels from this series would make the most cost effective & streetable & reliable daily driver combo.

It would be awesome to see the effect of picking the right (or wrong) sized super charger. Like whipples 2.8 vs their big 4.0 in terms of efficiency, Heat, power curve and everything else

Great stuff 👍

Thank you, Richard !! Always fun to watch. Can ANYONE out there help me ?? I have a 2017 SS SPORT SEDAN with LS3/6MT combo. I MUST pass Emissions, but would love a nice 600hp motor...LSA/WHIPPLE, N/A ?? GOTTA PASS EMISSIONS TEST - HOW ??

Anyone know if I could make a 600hp lsx or lt4 717whp for 5k??

So how about 4.100 and over stroke for boost, interwebbs says too much piston speed or something. For reliability.

Richard could you do a big bang test on a ls1 and see what it can handle. I have heard that they can't handle nearly what the iron blocks can, but alot of what you hear isn't always true.

Why are the bolts on the green rung so off centre....oh right, just me then!

Excellent movies!

it would also be interesting to see what you can get out of factory 862 hesds..... small chamber and valves on boost should give awesome midrange power........ heck, throw them on a big inch 408 stroker bottom end and boost it

Good morning...

Love all the info. Thanks 🙏

How can you port cathedral heads . I was told not from the bottom up .

Moar !! Keep it coming !

Can’t wait 👏👏👏👏

Yup Brynner and Charles Bronson are a tie

NA, the natural way all the way.

What are some good manual and automatic transmissions for some of these setups? I am going to build one of these setups and would really like to know which ones would work, thanks!

Thank you yet again !!!!!

I like the NA and the Turbos, don’t much care for the superchargers, maybe that’s my generation.
