WHAT IS THE BEST INTAKE TO RUN ON L83 HEADS? HOW WELL DOES THE L86 INTAKE WORK ON AN L83? WHAT EXHAUST DO I RUN ON THE LT HEAD SWAP? CAN I RUN VVT ON THE LT HEAD SWAP? HOW MUCH POWER IS AN LT HEAD SWAP WORTH? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WERE THE GUYS FROM BRIAN TOOLEY RACING SWAPPED ON A SET OF STOCK L83 (LT-BASED) HEADS ONTO A GEN 4 5.3L LS. CHECK OUT THE POWER GAINS OFFERED BY THE LT HEADS, CUSTOM CAM AND L86 INTAKE ON THE LS. ALSO TESTED AN INTAKE UPGRADE, COMPARING THE L86 INTAKE TO THE BTR LONG RUNNER TRINITY!

Would like to have seen a test of the L33 with an LS cam with the same cam specs as the hybrid cam so we can see what difference is caused strictly by the heads.

@harleyheil 10 ай бұрын

Agreed. It lost me when the put a cam in the 5.3 that wasn’t close to stock. If that doesn’t exist, a cam of similar specs should’ve been used with the ls heads.

@filiptrojanek5083 10 ай бұрын

This test needed to included a cam similar in size to the hybrid cam but tested with the LS heads. I would suspect that only a fraction of the power increase was due to the LT heads especially on a small 5.3L engine.

I agree with top shelf aftermarket "regular" LS heads being the way to go here. You get the flow you need for big power........without the hassle of keeping track of the hodgepodge of different parts needed. In today's world the aftermarket seems to be pretty quick with offering gearheads the new power parts they desire........you just have to spend the coin. Long gone are the days of garage tinkering to fab up big horsepower parts. Unless you are racing in a class that requires ALL factory parts........I just don't see the point.

I'm curious how this stacks up with just buying some AFR's or other comparable aftermarket heads. Of course those will probably cost more than the LT heads from a junkyard, but having to run special hybrid cams that will limit options. And I'd imagine future availability of these cams will be...questionable. Definitely interesting to see an answer to the question that so many of us have wondered!

So in other words you compared a stock motor to a head swap and cam swap. Pointless test. Literally pointless because you don’t know what the power increase was from just the heads. I guess this is to be expected at this point. Smh.

@stellingbanjodude 7 ай бұрын

@@Turbogto_guyyou can’t do the test you described and had you been listening you would understand that. The LT head uses a different valve layout, thus a LS cam will not work. An LT camshaft won’t work either due the the length is longer. It has to be a combination of both, an LS style cam with LT lobe layout. There is only one on the market and commercially available . You guessed it, the BTR camshaft. So no this wasn’t pointless test. The LT heads are way better than most premium ported and polished LS heads, so do some research before you look like a pontificating pretentious person.

Those LT heads flow great and it’s not all that hard to build a hybrid. If you can snatch up a set of the LT heads for cheap it’s a worthwhile option. Then you just need a cam and a Gen V pattern intake, which you would do a cam and intake anyway even if you went full LS so that’s not extra expense. Aside from that you just need some plugs for the DI ports in the LT heads and you’re basically good to go.

@@richardholdener1727 I forgot about the rockers being different. Headers I wasn’t really thinking about because you would buy a set for whatever setup you’re doing heads on anyway.

@kennethpowers8995 4 ай бұрын

BTR makes a decent cam with the swapped lobes for ~$400. I don’t think that’s too bad. Another thing I didn’t consider though is the Right head doesn’t sit flush with the block, meaning you can’t just reuse your LS accessories. That is something I was unaware of too. It seems it’s still a more budget friendly option to just put a nice set of aftermarket or even ported factory LS heads vs doing the hybrid build.

475 on 5.3 with a big cam is possible. I don’t think buying all the direct injection parts are worth the squeeze and engine management and fuel system becomes far more expensive. Get a set of upgraded 5.3 heads and big cam and I’ll bet for the same price you can make the same or more without the complications. I personally build direct injection 4cylinder engines and it’s a big limiting factor for fuel and cost is very high.

Its almost identical to ported factory castings. Earlier this year Richard published an article building a 5.3 that had Katech 706 heads, LSXR intake, 234/247 625/605 cam and 1 7/8 headers that made 509hp. Those heads were CNC ported with factory valve sizes. The Gen5 heads are probably worth 30-40hp but the CNC program from Katech costs less than the hybrid camshaft.

It's a neat comparison, but there's such a dramatic difference between the two combinations aside from the cylinder heads that it really doesn't tell us much about what we're most interested in, which is how much better are the heads themselves. The biggest question anyone contemplating this type of setup should be why? If the goal is to be different and unique, then maybe it's a good way to go - outside of that there are conventional ways to make that kind of power on that kind of displacement that won't require so many one-off type of parts. Neat to see it done, not real practical to repeat.

Would it be safe to assume that there is another one coming where you compare the Gen5 hybrid to some other comparable Gen3 or Gen4 setup to illustrate more clearly just how big the difference is? I'm thinking ported 706es with a FAST intake get pretty close to this level of performance for similar or less money?? Or a 6L with stock rec port heads and stock LS3 manifold probably gets pretty close to this combo for less money? (both of these assume appropriate camshaft to make it work)

I'd be really interested in that test... I have an LQ9 going together with PRC Stage 2.5 706/862s, a decent sized cam, FAST LSXRT 102mm, and all the supporting mods. I don't think it will be good for much more than 530ish flywheel. A friend has a 6L with L92 heads, Comp 469 cam, etc. It did 422 RWHP. So, most likely it's in the same range. With porting, flycutting, and more cam it might crack 575-580 on his set up. All bench racing until it hits the dyno cell.

A complete comparison probably needs to include another round with cam and milled 799s to make the CR close to even. I seem to recall the 500+ hp 5.3 needed aftermarket heads, and the L83 heads have to be available cheaper than that, and cams should be similar in cost.

The stock direct injection was used ? I didn’t know it could support 500+hp? Anyone know how much it can support?

the hybrid was run port injection-not DI

Have you tried Gen V l83 heads on a Gen V Lt1 short block?

why would you do that?

@@richardholdener1727 Why do we any of this? Curiosity. How good is a head with 248 cc and an MCSA of 2.4-2.5" and a small valve? Will it make more low end torque? How much? How much horsepower will it ultimately make? Is it just a dud with more cubes? Also with BTR's "220" cam in the L83, L86 and LT1 they each made the same HP per cube. How is that possible?🤣

I'm a great fan of your work Mr Holdener. However, when I mentioned just this same ls/lt hybrid about a year ago on a live feed you dismissed the idea, called it pointless, and basically a waste of time. How would you like your crow served Sir?

I still think only handful of people will do this because it's so much more involved than a head swap-watch the next one where I compare it to a mod l33
