Prices on these will triple. ....... by the end of this video....

Just picked up a 2300 5.8 blower with 10k miles on it for $250.00 that my buddy had sitting on the shelf at his shop collecting dust from a blower swap a few years ago.

So break down of price looks like this. Blowers can be found at the price listed but will probably go up. $400-$800 m122 blower $350 for throttle body kit ($100 if you are doing dbw and supply your own throttle body) $1750 Adapter plate, intercooler and fuel rails $250 pulley kit $587 Magnuson lower tub So total price could be between: $3087-$3737 As long as the price of the supercharger doesn't go up significantly. Also keep in mind the other things like water tank, pump and whatever else is needed to make the air to water intercooler work. It not a bad deal but some may choose to go a different route. All depends on how well this fits your needs. I will say I got to speak with the guy that sells the adapter and he seems like a great guy that is very helpful. So if you don't like the price please be respectful.

"I said what I said !" and I'm always happy that you do ! Cat's been outta the bag 8 hours now , blowers are probably what comes after "W" . I loved the look of the setup on the live chat , even happier it has performance to match .

Torque numbers are Awsome.Nice machine work.CNC machines these days are just amazing.

That to date is the best video. It went step by step thru the process. Excellent video sir.

You're so freaking awesome dude. I don't know what fuels you after watching the live streams though. So many elementary questions and you keep on trucking, smiling, and posting up videos. You're truly a saint, RH!

Super stoked on this series!!

Great video once again Richard! You're doing God's work

Your next videos are going to be gold on this. Pump gas comparisons, cam swaps, looking forward to it! I see on the pulley it says "Demeuse Engineering" and your video description says "Demuse" may want to correct that.

This guy put the the big oval mono plane throttle body on an ls. God bless you.

People see me walking down the road and think I'm hitchhiking, I tell them no thanks, I've just watched alot of speed Secret videos, my thumb is stuck that way, I call it the Holdener spraine, It only hurts when I reach for my wallet. 😁

This is awesome great work as always

You get to have all the fun 😁 LS engines: "and so do we"

You are doing the lords work my friend

I like watching you install the throttle body and spacer backwards... then playing it in reverse

Man I LOVE the engine durability of the 5.3 platform (usually reserved for "big block race engines") and innovations today, as opposed to 40+ years ago. Way back when it was a daunting task (and big $ ) to put a rootes blower (detroit diesel) on an engine a make it run well. It still costs lots of $$ but at least now, ya don't have to be a NASCAR engine build shop to produce respectable HP.

I've had the chance to meet Tom Demuse in person and he's honestly one of the coolest guys I've talked too

We completed the install of the m122 on my GTO. Still got some tuning left left to do. Definitely not cheap to make sure it is not heat soaking. On a base tune to make it drivable, it is awesome! Torque does not stop, and power is still on the table. Just did a 600+ mile run to KY for LS Fest East. Drive it there and back from VA to KY and back. This thing is too fun!

This guy is the man!

Oooohhhhhhh excited for this one

I laughed when I saw you reversed the 5.3 TB removal footage to look like a TB install. I was like, wait a minute, did that part just defy gravity and float into place lol. Slick.

Ordered my adapter for my 6.2, don't know if I have ever met a nice guy than Tom Demuse. Took the time to educate me about the product and how it was drilled out for several other blowers already if I decided to upgrade. Told me everything I needed to get everything installed, even took the time to look up parts (without me asking) to make 100% sure I got the right stuff. Even gave me estimated wheel hp off of his build. If the parts work half as good as his customer service it will be more than amazing

Yeah buddy ready for the 2nd video

Sure did get my attention with that sweet music.👍

I love your work brother.

I thought I heard you say that upping the carbs didn’t make a difference it was in like a 8-71. I’m mistaken though. It doesn’t matter what was said or what I thought. Thanks for putting the number in the description too.

My goodness, you are the man!

Talked with Tom Demuse for quite a while at a local car show. His LS swapped Sonoma is sick as hell.

Freakin love your videos!!!!

This is brilliant and I'm gonna give it to my suburban

Outstanding!

The e85 content you've provided is invaluable however a large number of your viewers apply your craft to there dayley drives so the 91 octain infomation is equally if no more valuable than e85 , keep up the great work , your videos are very educational

Hope Richard gets a nap in today from the late nights at westech

I was eyeballing the Whipple water cooled super charger kits for my 6.0 L96 on ebay that are only $7k with a programmer and canned tune. Now I'm starting to consider finding a cheap junkyard blower and doing it all myself.

Looking forward to all the tests on this setup, currently building 9.5:1 408 that I plan on adding 91 pump gas boost to down the road. Was looking at the Vortech kit for ~3500$ and this combo seems to be right around the same price.

Sorry to say Richard, but there isn’t a so called “cheap supercharger”.

Great video

Liked. What's not to like with a Righteous Blower on a modern day 327, um, 5.3. Great torque per cube stock, even Betta, Blowin'.

I'm hoping to eventually put one if these eaton m122s on a 5.7 hemi

The golden part about these adapters is they include the inter cooler. So much power to be gained with one….

thats interesting to see!

yes YES YES

that would look badass under the hood of anything

15 psi, be nice to measure the current ring gap just for reference, oh and check to see if they butted up at all.

Let's see the tests !!!

Hello Mr. Holdner, how much taller is this setup? Wondering about hood and firewall clearance with my 5.3 Ranger. Thanks

Awesome

BTW: Aussiespeed sells an adapter to mount the Ford/Eaton M112 Truck supercharger onto a Weiand 142 intake manifold.

Perfect way to get away with an ls swapped Ford and not get yelled at 😂

I really like you used a stock motor. I hope you really put this motor threw the ringer.

I hope you you are gonna do a 6.0 or 6.2 next.

How much taller is that blower combo in the L33 compared to the L33 when it had the stock truck intake on it? Would this set yo with with a kwik wide bracket corvette spacing accessory bracket kit. I have a zr2 4x4 s10 (2000 year model) than I've been gathering parts for and the last think I need to get is that corvette spaced accessory bracket kit that kwik makes. I plan to daily the truck and I have a turbo I had planned to remote mount since I will be running an A/C system (also from kwik). Not sure if I should try thus or just go N/A with the truck build. I have 2002 WS6 6speed TransAm than in planning to do an H/C/I on and just leave the 125/150 shot on it that I've been running. I build a stroker 383 also with nitrous and converted to an lt1's T56 in my old 89 formula firebird. So most everything I've done is either just built motors with or without nitrous and I wanted to do this 4000lbs S10 as my first LS swapped forced induction build that i can still daily drive (went a bit over board in the 89's stroker 383 and it wasnt very traffic friendly but a hell of alot of fun. I may consider going this route also long as I dont have to run a 4+" cowl hood to clear the engine like I ended up with in the 89 formula firebird. I figure I'd have to do a 2" just to clear the truck intake anyway and the opened back of the cowl would help some with heat extraction from under the hood but I would like to be able to see the other side of the truck since the scoop on the 89 meant I could see the pop up head light with out leaning forward. Thank in advance. You do great videos. I'll likely do the HCI to the 2002 soon since its sitting at 74,961miles as of today and need a new clutch and slave cylinder anyway. That should give me time to figure our the route I'm gaining to ultimately take with the zr2. Thanks again

Yeah man!

When are they going to start making intakes for these newer superchargers for small block and big block Chevy's? I don't want a big supercharger sticking out of my hood.

that TORQUE...... I NEEEEEEED.......!!!!

Hi Richard, great idea for the blower insulation. Wondering if a Holley low ram intake base or midsize with a home made flat aluminum adapter plate would work. My concern is hood clearance. Looks like you have the stock truck alternator bracket. The alternator looks taller than the top of the blower. Wondering how much space.😊

Would love to put one on my 16 Yukon XL Denali! BTW: I have 5 M/H122 superchargers with VMPs Large D Elbows, [some ported] sitting on a shelf and three aftermarket TBs!

You had me at "low buck blower"

I had no idea that they had a kit for the GT 500 supercharger to go on in LS . Now will it all fit underneath the hood of an C5 with 1.5 raised hood .

That damn thing is a freak…… and I like it

Not exactly a low budget install IMHO. Sure, the GT500 M122 last I looked was $300-400 used, I bought mine many years ago for $200 a low mile take off. That said this nicely engineered kit looks based on a $550 Magnusson tub lower with the custom intercooler, and adapter plates, fuel rails. Not sure of the kit cost but I'm betting well north of a grand. I'm currently looking at the feasibility of using a low ram, adapter plate and meth injection on my 5.3. Enjoying the videos!

Nice

Chevy tuff with ford stuff 😆 🤣 😂

I figured out how I'm gonna mount an LSA to an DI LT. As soon as parts arrive. I'll send a vid

I have a 29 whipple I was going to put it on a termi he needs to make an adapter for that

Should try it on the 3800 ?

Richard could you do engine dyno videos too I want to here some old engines and new engines on the dyno by you and custom variations

Great video. I'm getting back into the performance end of things and I'm wondering where to start with tuning. I have an 05 Sierra with a 5.3 . If I do something like this, will a hand held tuner allow the proper files to be down loaded? Is there a different system needed to change the factory tune or do I need to completely bypass the factory ECM and install the Holley system you use? I'd love to see a video on how you tune these engines.

$1800 for an adapter plate is crazy. If i can get a plate cut i have the cad design. Found a few m122 on marketplace for $5-$700 but for how much demuese wants ill just purchase a lsa .

Haha ok Richard I bought a dirt cheap Gt500 blower 750usd for my gen3 5.7 hemi 2014 ;). Put some pressure on Demuse to make an adapter :).

Damn that thing would be killer in my ls swapped iroc

You should do this test on a 6.0

Awesome content Richard, really fascinating stuff across the board!! I’m fairly new to the LS family and have recently become the owner of a 2005 CTS-V w the 5.7L LS6. I’ve come across this video and was curious if the adapter and blower would fit the ‘05 V1 or if there was a link you could direct me to w a parts list or your recommendations?

Wow I may just buy a blower to hoard for when I’m ready for an LS swap

I just realized that when you were putting the throttlebody and adapter on that it was actually playing backwards and you were pulling the stuff off lol I thought that was slick how you tightened the bolts and the adapter twisted right into place lol

Good info. #!!!

got the Demuse Engineering link? been searching but haven't found a website for the adaptor.

That's 😜 wild!

Ya , because there are so many of the GT 500 cars around in the first place.

That dude should make one for the 4v 4.6. How many of those motors are out there in need of a blower? As far as I know, you have to find a lower off of an 03/04 Cobra and that's the only way to put a roots or twin-screw on one.

Chevy guys always drool over Ford parts/chassis lol keep being our followers!

Any chance you could tell me what size belt exactly you have there?

How much height was added by this blower? It appears that it’s the same size as the truck intake

can u do this with a 6.0 motor

Has anyone made adapter kits to run the terminator cobra superchargers? Those seem like a pretty affordable supercharger, I’ve seen a lot go for 2k

I can't contact the people 4 in the adapter plate I called the mailboxes full and I can't find their website. Any advice richard holdener?

Does anyone know what the height is on that setup from the valley plate to the top of the blower ?

was that the stock lower intake from the 5.3 connected to the adapter?

I've got one of Tom's kits with a 122 on a 6.0 w/862 heads on a summit stg2 cam.. I can't wait too fire it

Would love to see this compared to an LSA blower.

You already said the whole cam gain would be the same if it was blower, supercharger, or turbo

Only thing good about the Ford supercharger is they are readily available compared to the sts supercharger. Prices might go up some but I doubt much. The adapters will be the hard part to get and those will possibly go up

The real question is whether or not if this is a cheaper setup than the lsa blowers. Considering the lsa blowers are coming down in price and it doesn’t require an adapter plate.

Selling all my pork bellies and Corn futures. Moving everything into Ford Superchargers.

Has anyone figured out or done a hellcat blower on an Ls ? I been pondering on the idea of doing that but need pointers

That much hp without ring gap😲 Sheesh😮‍💨

How much is the kit? Will this work on a F body or truck only?

If they made this kit for a 5.0L foxbody engine I would buy it in a heartbeat

That's a health motor. Can we put in my 72 C10?
