I've never heard of these companies on the LT scene. Most people say only pray performance and gpi are the only people with that type of knowledge.

​@@trentdaddydolla647 Cordes Performance is here in AZ, they mostly work on LSA/LS9 cars

Vengeance Racing and Late Model Engines are also two or the best LT shops.

@@AZ_CRUISING Actually ltx cars have been the main focus of our builds for years now. Although we still turn out a lot of lsx cars.

@@AZ_CRUISING not true. LTX we have dominated here for years and the shop is mostly filled with that.

Yeah and blow that thing up after a few passes

Yea unless some local has a single turbo 2jzgte vvti that’s real spicy

@@jonathanramoslexusmaster298 If that's spicy than a turbo LS is fire. The 2jz single will basically be N/a up to about 3,500rpm. Meanwhile it just got trucked by a 5.3 with two ebay gt45s and a mild cam...bus lengths...a tractor trailor...a mobile home, lol.

@@jonathanramoslexusmaster298 2jz are not $500 bucks, tho. And weigh more than my mom.

@@jonathanramoslexusmaster298 that's 100% irrelevant, because that doesn't matter where the hell you are

With 1000hp you can’t rlly do much but go straight

@@a1phamalestud Then sideways very fast

I blame the YT channels like 1320video that showcases 600-1500HP cars like they were a common thing. People don't realize those cars are the top 1% of fast cars. Heck, if someone has a 400HP car, he's faster than 95% of the cars on the road.

Exactly. I've driven my buddy's bone stock Evo 8 and the thing is a blast. Don't know the power numbers off the top of my head but it's certainly less than 505.More than enough to have some fun

We’ll said. They just pull 0-60 times from the internet too. They dont understand the conditions those times are set in.

For real before the ls...we had the 5.7 vortec...and they were great ....just not as fast as the Ls....or lt, remember racing a 5.3 when they first came out and walked my 5.7....after that I was pretty sure I better get my shit together ....so I procharged the 5.7....lol

Them intake runners on the LTs flow more than an LS7 head its actually fuckin crazy

Interesting. At what point is the bigger valve beneficial? Like on a bigger power turbo car.

@@TurboV8boi This is a little long.......BUT When theres enough cubic inches or camshaft or both that have to go through it, a bigger valve is necessary, in some cases its NEEDED. My examples are of N/A engines, but air behaves the same way regardless of N/A or forced induction. Best examples are a 1.7/1.5 small block chevy head vs a 1.94/1.59 or 2.02/1.6, youll AWLAYS gain power EVERYWHERE in a 327 or 350. The difference is (depending on castings) only the valve size, some may have smaller or larger chambers. And likewise with the LS, GM saw it fit to separate the 5.7 and 6.0s from the 5.3s and 4.8s in regards to valve sizing; the cylinder head architecture is almost identical in all cathedral port castings. And in testing, a 5.3/4.8 head absolutely kills top end power after 4500rpm on top of a 6.0.

@@rustysausage69 thanks for the reply. I wonder about cathedral vs square port too since you mention it . I understand you can't put square port heads on 4.8/5.3 engines; but once i was told that on turbo cars the cathedral port heads are good because of velocity they provide vs a square port. Granted I haven't seen data comparing the two in that situation.

@@TurboV8boi The general rule is if something makes more horsepower N/A, then it will make more power under boost; that said, the peak numbers don't necessarily tell the etire story. The engine has to be moving enough air across the RPM band for the head to be worth it, whether that extra air be from a bigger camshaft, cubic inches, or both. In the case of my personal 416LS, it has ported LS3 heads, big cam, ported intake, much more cubes, etc. etc. and makes 680hp, revvs to 7000, it surely moves enough air for rectangle ports to be well worth it. If I bought a set of ported cathedral ports, it would lose power everywhere after 4000RPM, they might give it a little more torque before 4000 because of the smaller ports; thats still before the torque peak though. On a stock 6.0, a set of LS3 heads is entirely not worth it because it doesn't have enough camshaft or cubes to really take advantage of the extra flow. It'd make 10 more horsepower at the top because its a bigger head, but before the torque peak that size prevents the air from moving higher velocity to make a higher torque peak, so it would lose torque from idle to 5000.

a colorado with 500hp 5.3 would be glorious, the right tranny that can handle some towing too would make it perfect

Fun fact the new lt6 is still almost the same size as ls...

Dude is really good. His videos are soothing and entertaining. He has a youn g Morgan freeman voice

I agree with the assessment. The information is opinion and fact based. Both are important to consider when planning a build

Don't forget the 5.7 LS6

0:00

Iiiiits literally the first motor he speaks about

​@@timothypadilla4192 you and some others missed my point. at 1:16 when he lists the variants of LS engines produced, the 5.7 displacement is not listed

LS is not OG. Gen 1 SBC is OG. And the old sbc still holds its own!!!

You can solve that problem with a oil catch can. I've put almost 200k trouble free miles on my l83 and had 150k on one with zero issues before I wrecked it. Still makes plenty of power in my 2015 rcsb silverado, and I regularly hard launch and do over 130mph in. Like weekly. I've beat the hell out of both those motors with no visible loss of power or problems besides a broken valve spring which was an easy fix.

Ls has 4 bolt mains also

@@nalgas5569 yeah but I wasn't in the right state of wallet to get a long block LS and I misspoke, it was 6 bolt like the ls1 and ls6 my bad

Red neck

This is simply not true. I own a M7 C7 and it, in fact, does have DOD. I don’t use it, but if you put it in eco mode it will go into v4 mode often.

6th Gen manual Camaros 100% do not have AFM in their LT1 engines

@@durchfallklaus4420 I can corroborate this! 6mt LT1 Camaro here

My 2016 Camaro SS manual (LT1) does not have AFM

I'll stick with the LT1 in my 96 Z28 6 speed manual convertible Camaro

There's lot's of support for it too.

Fr

Yep had an 88 35th with an L98. Sure top end not really there.. great stop light to stop light and around town though.. plus c4s just have a bad ass look. Interior is like a cock pit. They look they’re going 170 sitting still. Sports cars don’t have that stance anymore.

I was just reading a thread on Corvetteforum where guys were saying the C4 is a lot more fun to drive, and the C5 is boring in comparison. I wish my 89 had more than 240 hp.

@@fryloc359 safety lol.. c5 and above a lot safer, don’t make all there power low. C4 with an L98 can kill you lol. I’ve had a couple experiences where I should’ve wound up in someone’s garage or a ditch but thankfully didn’t quite happen lol

Yeah and also as the above commenter said. A c5 or above especially anything that’s a z06 you have to run hard to experience the fun. Try running any of those cars hard hard on a public road lol. Potential death or accident. I fell like from everything I read, unless you track or race a lot .anything past 250-325 HP is wasted on normal roads. Good friend of mine had a 2020 5.0 mustang. Claims the thing just felt bottled up driving around town, nowhere to open up remotely other then highway occasionally. So for around town driving L98 sweet spot and I’m sure LT1 lol. LT1 will have a bit of a highway edge due to extra 55 HP.

As a 5th gen owner I never understood the hate towards the interior. Its simple, has cool lights, & easy to clean. I do have a 2ss if that makes a difference.

@@julian_sp I think everyone got tired of the green LEDs on the dash and door panels. It's the very reason why I didn't get an 5th gen😂🤣plus if you had the automatic it was slower than and 4th gen Camaro.

Hmmmmnnn… nah.. nothing like a stroked LS7… it will make the power naturally aspirated that of an LS3 supercharged… There is nothing that runs so strong as a built LS7 stroker on nitrous or even turbo. Like the old saying says. There no replacement for displacement. When it comes to Chevy motors they rely very much in displacement. The bigger they are the more power you get specially in latest engines..even though a lot of old school big blocks still make considerable power when done right.

@@julian_sp I actually love it. It reminds me so much of my high school years..

@@Javservice wow didn’t know a stroked NA LS7 could make as much as my Supercharged LS3 Making 900whp. LOL…. That was a dumb statement and mine is still stock bottom end

LT makes torque way better because direct ejection especially low end torque

I have a gen III lq4 out of a late '03 Denali that came with floating wrist pins and "gen IV pistons and rods".

@@motherlovinsnuffstar so it was Gen 3.5 then

exactly. the jackscrews/crossbolts on teh block it the key to more strength. Those lt engine will be junk when they hit the yard due to the direct injection system. The ls base engine will win out in the long run...

My G8 GT has a 403 stroker in it and man is it fun. I need to get a more aggressive cam but right now I'm making 410whp at 6,000ft above sea level (I live in Colorado) and even then it's still a blast and torque monster

@@Tanner_Teves how are the junkyards in Colorado? i’m moving there later this year.

Hopefully down the line they end up in yards for $500. Not really happening. The engines in yards will cost a fortune to rebuild.

They will it’s a guarantee,

@@Tanner_Teves sounds like you need a turbo too then

You will not be disappointed, I have a 2019 Camaro ss 1le, and it's the best car I've ever owned. Previously owned: 2011 Wrx FBO tuned by jrtuned, and a 1993 supra tt auto standard bpu all on 93octane. Camaro stock kills my previously owned cars in every performance metric. But the supra was actually more compliant on the street lol.

Yes you can turn the system off but the problematic afm lifters are still there and will fail prematurely more than likely

Ummm, NO. MY 2016 C7 MT has AFM and DOD. As soon as I activate ECO mode.

@@stevenstoll2016 Interesting, I know all the manual Camaros do not have it. I did not know the C7s had an ECO mode.

@@upcastdrake8460 yep - eco, normal, sport, & race. In ECO mode it will default to 4cyl DOD if the power isn't required. With ECO on it pretty much defaults to 4cyl: 70mph, top down, 7th gear, it pulls 1300rpm, and averages 35mpg. If I stay in 6th at 60mph it will be closer to 40mpg. Power is just a stab of the throttle away (usually requires a downshift as the cruising rpm is so low) Outstanding power and fuel economy combined.

Agreed. I had a ride in a G-Body with a 90s LT1 in it. 350 HP to the wheels and that thing could move. He made it to be a summer touring car to drive cross country.

@@PacificDark all that torque too from 1800 to 4500. Insane power band.

Wrong LT1, not the 93-96 LT1 but the 2014 LT1

Just get and ls2.

The thing is, you'll spend a lot more money on the SBC to get the same power the LS starts with.

@@fryloc359 I haven’t crunched the numbers that hard but is that true? The small block is dirt cheap, even compared to and ls1
