Hey Joe, just a quick one for when you get back to your carb tuning.You get your wide open throttle mixture from the power valve restriction size. The main jets set your cruise mixtures. A big mechanical pump will work well and volume is more important than pressure. Keep up the good work.

I just put in a raceworks red pump, same specks as a Holley red. fuel issues are sorted. As for tuning the power valve restrictions, I need to get my self a metering block where I can change them. Just a set size in my current block. I have been playing with the carb over the weekend and yes to get wide open throttle to where it needs to be, cruise is fat.

With a solid lifter cam and a single plane intake, why would you even shift that thing in 3rd in the QM? Also unless you have a manual valve body in that th400 you have you aren't going to be able to hold 1st gear as long as you should either because even when it's in 1st gear it will automatically shift into 2nd without moving the shifter. With all those transmission short comings, 13.2 isn't that bad though. Get the transmission and fuel delivery sorted out and you'll probably be in the mid 12s?😎👍

Ok I made it to the end and if you're only going to shift at 6,100 to 6,200 right when you start making power with the single plane and solid cam, what's the point? If you want to shift that low than a genuine imitation RPM Airgap dual plane intake will make more power than the single plane you have on there all the way to where you're shifting. It's been dyno and track proven over and over, hundreds if not thousands of times. Just because you tried a low rise not as good as factory intake, aftermarket aluminum dual plane doesn't mean the high rise dual plane will be just as bad.🙄 I have used an RPM Airgap and never experienced a downside with one. They even make more power with a factory stock cam than a low rise dual plane even on a small cubic inch sbc. Had one on a sbc 305 that made it run great for a factory cam engine. The car weighed 3,400 lbs and ran 14.0s in the QM with the factory cam topped off with an Edelbrock RPM Airgap dual plane intake and an Edelbrock 600 CFM carb. Anyway just remember, a bad day at the track beats a good day at work every time.😁😎

230@50 degrees on a 109LSA cam makes power to about 6000rpm. No need to rev it any further. Also standard bottom end with cast pistons. As for 1st shifting out. I addressed that years ago when I first put the car together, the 1-2 shift valve has been modified and the drain blocked, it shifts when I tell it too. Yes I need to go into 3rd gear.

@@Joedennett69 On one of the cams I have in one of my cars says the power range is idle to 5,000 RPM, but it keeps pulling to 6,000 RPM. The duration at .050" is 202°/212°. So if this cam can make power to 6k your 230° cam should rev to at least 6,500 while still pulling. Cast bottom end should be good to 6,500 RPM. Also a genuine imitation RPM Airgap dual plane intake always makes more power than a single plane to 6,500 RPM. To bad you didn't have your heads flow tested, you could of used the the Wallace Racing on line calculator that will tell you at what RPM maximum HP would occur. Just have to punch in engine cubic inches and max intake head flow. That sight has many more than just that calculator too if you're interested? Did not know you altered your transmission I must have missed that video, very cool. What rear gear do you have in that Australian El Camino? If it's under a 4.11:1 gear you should be able to cross the finish line in second gear, especially if you rev it in first and second a few hundred more RPM?😎👍

@adamellul9273 Hard question to answer. Depends on what you're doing. To fit the engine to the car, i used a Castlemaine rod shop crossmember for the trans, engine i used ebay mounts. Tailshaft was custom-made. As for everything else to make it run and cool. The list is fairly big if you have nothing to start with. You will have to change out the factory banjo diff, that will grenade. I fitted a ford 8.8 rear but thats a project in itself.

Is that 110 to 130 kilometers per hour or miles per hour?🤔🤷 There's a big difference we're talking about there.😁 The intake you really need is a genuine imitation RPM Airgap dual plane intake. This intake will do better than either one of those all the way up to 6,500 RPM. Then those single plane intakes might do better above that RPM if your cam can rev that high? If it's a hydraulic flat tappet it's done by 6,500 if it can even rev that high? China is right there near you guys, don't they ship any of that inexpensive sbc stuff over there? You can get a genuine imitation RPM Airgap dual plane intake over here for about 130 bucks shipped over here and over there is way closer than over here in the US.🤷 Anyway can't wait to see the comparison between the 2 intakes.😎👍

Talking 110 to 130 kph. For intakes. I ran a performer dual plane on it before. The motor did not like it. Ran the slowest it ever has. The engine is a solid flat tappet 230/230@50 on a 109lsa. The converter flashes up to 3000 when you hit it, so performance under that doesn't really matter.

@@Joedennett69 I agree with you on the Performer intake, it's a 10 HP step back from a factory 4bbl intake. The Performer RPM dual plane though is WAY better than a Performer. I would say 40 HP over a factory 4bbl so 50 over the Performer.😯 Don't be afraid of the sbc China junk, it's been around long enough they're not to bad now. 20 years ago though was a different story. The cheap aluminum Chinese sbc heads flow about 250 max intake CFM out of the box with a weight savings. Buy them bare and assemble them yourself to make sure they're right. Get some self wicking green Loctite to glue the seats in just in case and they're good to go. All the big cylinder head companies are sending most of their work over there anyway. Kinda hard not to use that stuff anymore unless you use all old factory stuff or NOS aftermarket parts.

Unfortunately 15.3s is all they'll do stock and the 4l60 is slow af lol My vn Calais I had in 2012 ran a best of 15.1 with exhaust, cold air intake, locked 3.08 diff ,it had a healthy stock th700 with massive trans cooler. Vns about 100kg lighter too though. Advice put ya fan shroud back on and fit a decent trans cooler with a fan ,that'll fix ya heat soak, 5Ls run hot so need all the cooling aids u can give em 👍 Even try find the plastic ducting the front end had from factory, radiators don't work 100% without the ducting. That weird over rev is pretty normal, even the th700s did it ,u can't hurt the engine it's not valve floating, they'll rev to over 7000 before u get near it lol I use to bounce mine off limiter and never bothered it. I've messed with many 5Ls since 2000 ,even had a 333 vb sle with yt heads n 650 double pumper ,thing was wild 👌 Reason they went to smaller oil filter is the 5L doesn't spew all the oil into the heads like the ol 308s use too, they don't require as much volume as the 308s ,blue 308s are the worst for it too, I used the small filter n never had an issue. Actually found your channel looking for 5L content as I'm looking to put one in my current vn exec ,best sounding v8 on earth imo, not chasing big hp maybe 300/350hp ,over seeing ls1s in them lol Had a turbo Buick in it but didn't like it and had to sell it anyway to rebuild my fgs barra that blew up on me 🤦‍♂️ After having 500hp 775nms in my fg I've found big hp is over rated tbh, everytime I try to race it I break something 🙄 6 weeks ago I tore the subframe and lhs cv shaft a new one lol so yeah it's honestly pointless now being it's the daily, might sell it n buy a stock xr6t ute and do up the vn again lol Thinking stock bottom end, ported heads, harrop high rise ,4 barrel tb , paceys, twin 2.5" exhaust, haltech 750 ,t400 and maybe a truetrack n 345s/3.7s , I do have some 411s here ,might be too short though 🤔 Appolgies for the long comment, 1 last thing look at a better manifold and tb setup, headers, a small cam like a crane 280 and get it tuned, should see around 270 280whp and you'll be good for high 12s 👌
