Well, this never happens...somehow we made WAY more horsepower with our LS1 than we thought? In this episode, Tony Angelo and the Stay Tuned crew get to work packing a whole bunch of horsepower into an otherwise unknown stock LS1 engine to toss into Tony's new DIRT CHEAP C5 project. Somehow, this sucker made a ton more power than we all thought, and it's going to RIP!

@@StayTunedTA you should do the sike-clone black cherry though, with period maroon cloth seats and door cards. If you need any help with the interior or car audio, I would be glad to help.
@staytunedta drill a hole in the garden sprayer tank top and pull a valve stem through. No more pumping 🎉

I've got a 1994 z28 I would like to know a recommendation on an engine that I can swap into it
@@murderburger6984 Go find a decent 5.3 from a truck/SUV, they make wiring harness for the swap to the f-body also.
Man, this episode brings back memories. I bought a brand new 2000 Z28 that I swapped on LS6 head, cam, and intake. Hooker headers, Borla exhaust, and a BBK throttle body with Granatelli air sensor. Threw on 150 NOS kit for kicks. It was sick. I had just started my first job after college and my dad said, "how much money you got saved up?" as he held the Summit catalog in his hand. Best times ever. Lost my dad in 2003. Stuff like this hits had, but with good memories.
Pops always with you and yours brother
"That's why all the young kids want 'em."
That dyno tuner is the man.
🤘
Chris is the man!
I appreciate the level of "affordable" vs performance these builds are at. A bit more put into them than the Vice Grip level for performance, but you're not needing a second mortgage like some "lose the shop" places!
I was excited to find an affordable set of heads when he mentioned them. I immediately found then on summit for $650 each! I think affordable is still out of my price range 😂
I don't think derek worries about performance enough. That's a stupid way to say that. What I mean is, for me, he could splurge on hp sometimes and I wouldn't mind. I also wouldn't mind if he only did revivals on cars he was going to build.
@@PartialRug $650 per head is super cheap too hahahah
Derek did a three part series on the big block Chevel.
@@AaronSnyder-gx4ue I mean.. the Vice Grip Garage slogan is "Good Enough Performance"... so...

Also a good name for paint?!

Mr. Angelo, the way you treated that innocent child is honorable and respectful in my opinion. The Way a man treats innocence shows all you need to know about him. May God bless you and your family.
You men are magicians, turning garbage into gold, I can't thank you enough for all the great content - you're a great teacher - making learning fun
Tony, 3M has these roloc bristle disc (3M-18730) and they are amazing for removing old gasket or paint. Since they are made of plastic, they will not remove any metal. I just love them. They make a hard job so easy.
I fucking love those things. They come in different grit flavors too 🤙
Tony I want to paint the Sike Clone!
What color? Sounds good!
@@StayTunedTA You pick the color and get it to my shop and I’ll body work and paint it.
Pearl White 🤔
Thankyou. @@Mongos_Garage

I keep seeing alot of vids lately about Bob Glidden. I was there watching him go in indy in person from 1979 thru 1985 ish. I am not a ford guy but admired what he was doing. He didnt eat pizza he ate midwest home cooked meals and turns out he could cook like no tomorrow his own self and when not racing loved to entertain and make meals.
I love all these fellers....Glidden, Johnson, Shepherd, Allen, Nicholson, Mannarino, i could go on and on from just the late 70s thru the 80s.
The Grump always heads this class and from PA. These names and more need to be remembered. I hope they all will.
Who did i forget?
Being from CA I would add the California Flash, Butch Leal.
Dandy Dick Landy from Cali too.
I know I'm forgetting a bunch more names...
I'm over in the UK doing my first LS1 based build - I've got a similar spec cam and now I'm seriously considering getting a pair of those summit heads shipped over!! 490hp with just mild heads and cam is wild!
LS magic baby!!!!! Youll never want a old school distrubutor motor again…..EVER
@@trentdawg2832Wait... what? The LS1 is why you don't want an old school distributor? Its so good you won't want old tech anymore!? What!? The... Fuhh....k
Consider porting your stock heads before buying some different ones. Ported stock heads routinely make 550-600 horse.
I think it just depends on WHO is doing the LS swap. When it comes to Tony I almost wanna see the swap more just to see his take on it , and how he approaches a “simple” build like this. 🔥 good stuff keep grinding
It's also fun to watch Tony break everything he touches.
@@JonStein-mu5ebtony is an OG in the American drift scene, nobody knows how to send it quite like they do
The Shop so needs an HVAC sponsor! A HVAC fan to come hook it up with a furnace and a.c.!
And someone to re-do their power setup.
Maybe MrCool would sponsor?
They could do a whole video on the install doing it themselves. I did in my house and it's awesome !
Damn! We accidentally built a Gen 1 LS motor that has 500 Hp with a little bit of work, some new rod, cam and heads! That vet is going to another badass pizza garage racing team car! You guys are one bad crew! Also, welcome to the team to the new guy! I can't wait to see this 500 hp vette ripping!
I love watching Tony assemble an LS with all hopped up parts, reminds me of the MT shows. Stay Tuned rocks!
My, pop just gave me his 04 5.3L Silverado so I can rob the engine for my 68 C10. I’m gonna go with the same setup after I freshen up the block with a 5.7 or 6.2 rotating assembly. Thanks for the much needed inspiration! Can’t wait to see the C6 rip! Keep up the great work Stay Tuned Team. You guys are The Best! Wish you much success!
Be advised the 5.3/5.7/6.0/6.2 ALL have THE SAME 3.62” stroke crankshaft
And that's why I love my LS1 , I've also been told 500 hp is about as much as the stock C5 power train can handle reliably , great job guys !
They can handle well over 500, lots of a&a supercharged vettes over 500
have you not met Cletus?
They also say the T56 is only good for 500. I had a year of autocross without breakage behind my 680hp 416 and will have much more behind the current LS1
Great job fellas. The pure joy when the number was first announced is a rare thing at the dyno. Bravo
Put a set of long tube headers and you'll pick up a bit on top (enough to hit 500) and a ton under the curve.
This is a cool project, and quite timely, too. I browsed one of the local lots two days ago and came across a 2008 Trailblazer SS AWD for six grand! It had the 6-liter LS2 {395 bhp / 400 lb-ft} and 89k miles on the clock, along with a clean Carfax. This is the truck Road & Track quarter mile tested against a C6 'Vette sporting the same engine. The 'Vette got blown away, thanks to the AWD on the Trailblazer, which ran a 12.95 - the traction-limited 'Vette's best was a 13.68, IIRC. One of my co-workers has a 2007 Silverado SS AWD; after he put Corvette induction, a 'Vette chip in the ECU, and a pair of Hooker long-tube headers and a 3-inch exhaust on it, it was cranking out 475 horses - a cam and head swap like yours would have bumped things closer to 600!!
Once your ride is dialed in, it'd be a real hoot if you could arrange a friendly bracket race with Mr. Dulcich, who also has a hot C5. Just sayin'............
KUTGW!!!😎
Thats a healthy setup guys, Id love to see you get back into sideways stuff the Vette seems right for the calling
My favorite channel! I just installed a mild cam in my 2004 C5, 218/226, 587 lift, and stock 243 heads, kept stock exhaust…..420 crank hp. 70 hp jump, 4:10 gears, and she flat gets after it. It doesn’t take a lot to motivate these LS1 engines.
How do like the shorter rear end? I was thinking of getting the 3.90 for mine
@@markmartin7384 I’ve had both gears and would say it depends n where you drive. If you are cruising a lot of 70+ mph, you could save a couple hundred rpm with the 3.90’s. Otherwise, go the 4.10 for sure. That gear is really fun!
@@bat5917 mostly twisty back roads for me. I worry the 4.10 will break loose too much
Barb's boy looks just like him! Just, you know, younger. ❤
Yeah, and blonde! He's a great kid!
Good to see someone rockin the DF thermoquad shirt sleeveless! I wrecked mine doing a cylinder change on a DC-6 with a Pratt R2800
I was wondering where to get that!!!
Ive had 3 ls1's. they come out here in Australia in our Holden commodores from around years 2000/2004. great motor, very underrated. some people call them boat anchors hahaha. i threw a mild cam in one and ran a 12.9 with a stock converter. cant wait to see the corvette tear up. awesome video.
Boat anchors compared to what ?..
@@Torquemonster440 all the ford guys give them shit. same as they did the little 253 v8 that came in our holden kingswoods in the 70's. a lot of engines here get called boat anchors just because people dont like them. the ls1 is also harder to get power out of N/A than its modern cousins. The l98 which is a 6 ltr responds way better to mods. cam only will get 450 atw
A lot of people hate on the C5 but it’s probably my favorite corvette.
They are great cars, and my kids love em, so that's an extra point!
I am with you. New ones look like a generic Euro sports car.
@@StayTunedTA and for the price that the C5’s are going for they are the best bang for your buck corvette.
@@k5wxp22 exactly…I saw one at a car show yesterday and 🤢 my wife works at a Chevy dealership and she was telling me about prices that they are currently going for are ridiculous…and of course the typical corvette owners are the only ones coming in to buy them
C5's are my favorite
I was getting the vibe of viral guy with the sbc engine stand revving the heck out of it while smoking when you were revving this haha
Tony falling off the truck at the end!! Im Dead! 😂😂😂
I gotta say thank you to stay tuned because I have a supercharged LS1 with stock roller rockers. And first thing i'm going to do is order that Tronyeon kit for the roller rockers.
Thank you
Love the budget engine combos. Real world info we can all use on our projects. Thank you for the down and dirty truth
The spark plugs in the exhaust are something we use to do back in the day. Have your rev limiter cut spark so fuel still goes into your exhaust and then while revving, you hit the button to turn on your spark plugs and you can throw fireballs.
Yay! You guys even come through on a short week! Always saving the shop! You guys effn rock 🤟🏼
We are always hustling! Turbocharging the 225 Slant 6 in Barb's D100 as we speak!
We are always hustling! We did a half day on the 4th to light off fireworks and smash hot dogs.
@@StayTunedTAhopefully that makes on the show!
I made 470 to the wheels in my 4th gen with a Thunder Racing T-REX cam and a TPiS 92mn ls6 intake (that's it) through a t56 and 12 bolt.
everyone loves the iron truck motors (i get it) but there is real magic in the true aluminum ls1s. legend has it they used actual pieces of frosty the snow man's pipe in the pencil that drafted the design.
C5 was a dream car of mine as a kid. I plan on buying one as a project in the next couple years. Love to see you doing one.
Its makes me smile when the closed caption reads "music" during a pull. Approved
I'm going to suggest Tony's torque spec methodology as an operational efficiency improvement for our nuclear power maintenance project work.
Also all our ICBMs 😁 💀
Sounds legit 👍
We appreciate you like crazy for the Saturday night uploads. Thanks,
Finally someone good to watch!
ME? Thanks!
@@StayTunedTAabsolutely you guys!!
Awesome build! Any idea when we may see the Aston Mustang again??
We have a clutch setup being made and just waiting to hear back on and ECU!
Hell yeah, can’t wait!
I was about to ask that too! I’m like did they forget about it?
Glad to hear it - I was worried it had them stumped!
Glad to find your channel and see another Pennsylvanian. I like the style of just being able to follow along a build for an hour.
according to the google-box the head gasket is a Cometic MLS LS1/LS2/LS3/LS6 .051" MLS Cylinder Head Gasket
Thanks!!
The one that was in that motor originally looks like a garbage composite gasket!!! Wah wah wah😞😞😞
Loved his reaction. 53:28 “say what now?” That’s awesome
“I hate when these modern interiors are all blown apart”
This is a 25 year old car sir!

HellYeah Boys!! After hearing that motor on the dyno this morning, I’m all in on this project. Beer and a Slice Time! Ready to Stay Tuned 🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
You and me both! Cheers Bro! It's gonna be weird with a Carb but I'm doing it.
@@StayTunedTAYeah, but it’ll look cool as hell and and be a 500 Hp daily driver. 🤘🍺🍕
Love it! I never new just turning the crank center's the oil pump. I have had good luck pouring oil in the pump, while the block is upside down and turning the crank. Learn stuff every "Friday"! Buy the way I did end up getting the Town Car. Boost is needed for sure!!!! Keep up the great work guys!
Thanks for the upload, guys. I appreciate it.
I appreciate the video. About to pull the trigger on an ls swap on an s-10 someone gave me. It's been about 18 years since I turn some serious wrenches. This and all your videos really break it down for a guy like me.
I know there's not a whole lot of track/ off public road racing options in the north east but it would bring the channel up a few notches if you did more driving shenanigans with the builds
This sucker is gonna see the track soon and I totally agree!
@@StayTunedTAwe wanna see Tony sliding sideways again

This is awesome guys ….I’m a PA guy and it’s cool to see a channel in are State !
Back in 2004 I was CRAZY about the new GTO, and my buddy worked at a Pontiac dealership and he told me to come test drive one. The 2004 GTO had the LS1 (the 350 HP engine) and the 2005 had the LS2 (400 HP). I will tell you that while it was OK, not CRAZY fast, but it handled the winding roads like you wouldn't believe. I was taking turns rated at 35 MPH at 115 MPH. I scared the hell out of my buddy, but that car was so planted in stock form and it didn't take alot of work to drive it. The one that I drove was a six speed manual and even the clutch felt nice, engaged easily, and wasn't overly heavy, but it only had about 80 miles on it. I tried to sling it around a u-turn and I heard someone yell, I said, "what'd he say?" My buddy said, "bro that's my boss! He's the GM!" He followed us back to the dealership and he screamed at my buddy and said, "I can't believe you would let him do that!" I jumped in and said that I didn't mean to do that, I hit the throttle and it kicked the rear end out and he told me to take the car back immediately. We got back and I acted like I was trying to purchase the car, but I was only like 21 or 22 back then and I had a fully modified 1996 GMC Jimmy SLE Santa Fe edition that was lowered on 22" Lexani rims with 10 TVs, 12-10" subwoofers, was painted with PPG Platinum Pearl White with a full body kit that had won best of show at NOPI Nationals, but it still had a basically stock 4.3 Vortec. I had always wanted a domestic muscle car though...
The '04 GTO was actually an Australian car, the Holden Monaro. GM re-badged it as a Pontiac for sale in the US. That's why it handled so well, in Australia we like a V8 but have historically preferred a slightly smaller and more handling oriented car than what was sold in the US. The GTO wasn't a big hit with US customers though.
They also imported the 4-door version (Holden Commadore) as the Pontiac G8. Not a big hit either, sadly.
Barb's kid grins just like Barb when that engine fires up!
Man it would take everything in me to have an engine that stripped down and NOT do besrings and rings lol. Awesome video guys. Great content as always!
For priming LS engines I got a portable air tank from HF and adaptor to the oil port near the front of the engine to 4an. I pour 6 quarts in the tank and fill it with 80 psi. Flip the tank over and turn it on. Have to usually refill the tank air but I fill a new engine this way.
I’ve been a fan for years buddy. I couldn’t help but lmao when you went for pizza. Wouldn’t be a family wholesome video without pizza edited in there somewhere. You need to brand your own pizza. Call it “We’re gonna lose the shop.”
It was a hot summer down here in Australia too. On the worst days metal objects felt hot to the touch, air temperatures 37 Celsius (100F) or more in the shade, humidity 70% or higher. My shop is partially open air, so no chance of air conditioning. I was literally dripping with sweat. What saved me was one of those huge industrial pedestal fans. Put it right next to where I was working so I was being absolutely blasted with wind. The air was actually hotter than body temperature, so all the cooling comes from your sweat evaporating. Got to drink, a LOT. But I could keep working.
"No suction is a definite deal breaker." -TA words of wisdom
I love this build brother!!!! I am using a Amazon garden sprayer to lube my Ls3 as well!!! A barbed fitting a piece of hose and 2 clamps. $25 and I can prime my engine!!!!! Hell no I ain't paying $200 for a oil primer setup!!! And I don't have a air compressor lol.
I just built my LS1 as my first ever build. Got the Texas speed Head and cam package, PRC 225 as cast heads and a Torquer V2 cam paired with a Yank 3600ss converter. getting it tuned tomorrow and am so excited.
How much did u end up making? I have a WS6 debating if I should build my ls1 or buy a forged iron 6.0
It's currently just street tuned. Texas speed said the combo was good for 430ish to the wheels. The Cam sounds so good thru my true 3in duals. Found out my trans is slipping around 6,500rpms just before it shifts.
this was an awsome episode, loved the build and results, relates to all the garage builders out there !!!
Horsepower and comedic levels are at 500! Awesome episode :)
LT4 ‘96 vette 6 speed 330 hp. Great engine. Factory crane roller rockers, high compression, 6,800 redline. Great package!!!!,
Man that poor garden sprayer has been publically violated !!!
Love the details on the LS build.... Great job Tony & Barb!
These and the original stingray are my favorite body styles
I like C2 and C5 the best probably. Not a bad one in the bunch though!
I bought a spotless C5 Z06 CE (1979/2025) with 40,000 miles on it. Paid a lot too. I always kick myself as I should have bought a sub-$10k C5 and built it the way I wanted to. But, I have it on coilovers, and upgraded brakes and full Sparcos with harnesses for the track. And I tell ya, the damn thing is absolutely unbelievable!
Absolutely hands down the best performance bargain out there, still! Yes C6's are coming up as the best for the $$$ but I'll take/keep my C5 Z06. Great build!
Just sold my C5 for a Z06. My C5 have 16,000 miles 6 speed for a 6,000 mile 2016 Z06. Love the Z06 so much better
Yeah, I have never driven a Z06 but I assumed it's much more my style.
@@StayTunedTA I actually like the C5 & C7 better than the C8
I love the way you show us “you way”. Been a fan fur a long time and you always remind me. Great episode
Nassau blue is the best color for the c5! Sweet car
Black is always the best looking when clean
THATS CRAZY POWER FROM BUDGET HEADS AND A MILD - MID RANGE CAM. SHORTY HEADERS TOO, NO LONG TUBES, YOU'RE DEFINITELY OVER 500 JUST WITH LONG TUBES
The o-ring style gaskets work perfectly until they don't and then it's gushing oil.
I've had great success with LS based stuff!
All these o-ring style gaskets dryout and crack. My Chevy Malibu is getting a bunch of them changed because it went from no leaks to gushing. These gaskets are the norm these days but I keep cars along time and run into trouble because of it.
46:31 foreshadowing….can’t lie to us😂😂
The secret to the Cathedral port is went the valve closes the air dose not just stop it starts to rotate
Awesome video!! I got LQ4 I hope to get running soon. Hope that fall wasn't too back trying to get out of the way of the mortar going off. 😅
you built accidentally built a 500 horse v8?? oh tony you silly goose
I know right?! This thing blew me away!
What a great combo… I was going to be impressed with the 425 you were hoping for. Nice job!
Thanks! Not bad for a couple of sweaty yahoos in a parts room!
I hate when I accidentally have 500hp
I was hoping for 440, really!
@@StayTunedTA yall are awesome. Keep killing it
It's my birthday and another Friday upload, what could be better! Can't wait to watch guys 😁😁😁 thanks for the education!

that was fun to watch. Were I a few decades younger I'd try that.. thanks guys! (the roll out of the truck bed was pretty funny)
With trick flow heads and cams, comp valve springs, port matched BBK aluminum intake manifold, motion 84mm tbody, 1200cc injectors, walbro 450, 2 inch, 4:2:1 port matched long tube headers i built myself, haltech elite 1500 on e85, off road 3 and 1/2 inch x pipe with the merge 37 inches aft of the collectors to dual magnaflow mufflers. With a 7700ft DA, as well as 112,304 miles on the bone stock bottom end, she made 516whp @7700rpm and 460lbft. Thats all from a 2 valve 4.6 liter Ford SOHC v8 from 1998. It sits in my '98 mustang GT street/drift car its actually the #'s matching engine. A clutch masters twin backs in up, BBK lightweight flywheel, tremec TKX swap, 3.93 FDR with a Yukon spool. Let me just tell you, that little 4.6 fux SOOOOO hard it would absolutely and completely blow your mind. I did an s550 IRS conversion, LOTS of weight reduction, complete drift American front end from the cross member to the knuckles, fortune coilovers, swapped the front brakes to the rear, used the stock rear calipers for foot brakes and the stock front calipers for the handbrake, 2013 gt500 front brakes. All said and done the car does 69°...giggity.... of steering angle, weighs 2820 with me in it (im 6'5 240lbs) still has A/C and a halfway decent stereo. I gotta say man i was a die hard and i mean DIE HARD GM guy. My grandpa, who used to build engines for the likes of Big Daddy Don Garlits, Rusty Wallace, Richard Petty, and none other than Dennis Anderson, talked me into buying an sn95 to replace my 3rd LS swapped e36 that folded the unibody under the rear subframe and had more stress fractures than i have shin splints. Any e36 owners who send it will know what im talking about. Dude i have fallen in love with this little black mustang to a level that not only is the lovely lady in my life jealous of it, my female PITBULLS are as well. I dont know what it is, i cant explain it. But ive NEVER loved a car like i love this mustang. Not even close. The car turned me into a Ford man. I traded my piece of shit '19 Silverado in for a GORGEOUS 2020 ecoboost f150...yes its the 3.5 with max tow she tows 12,300 lbs as a half ton. That ford makes that chevy honestly look pathetic its kinda sad. In no way am i referring to anything regarding form. Im talking function. Anyway, i dont aim to take up too much of anyone's time i just wanted to put this totally underrated engine on a pedestal. BTW, when the car was bone, bone stock....i deleted the 6 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS with a simple manifold back summit DIY exhaust system, threw on some $200 shorty headers, a truck intake manifold, and a tune, the thing made 330 wheel @ 6,800 rpm with a 7200 DA we had good air that day. I live on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe so i get to do remote tunes driving around what i think is the most beautiful lake in the U.S. Which is fuggin cool, jack. Y'all stay safe and remember....dont drive fast, fly low.
Top of the UA-cam game right now brother! Ride the wave keep it up brother
One of your better vids. It's nice to see you talking about the technical stuff. Plus saving those tables was the cherry-on-top.
That's some seriously impressive numbers for a 25 year old LS1 with budget heads and cam. Some say the LS is THE BEST engine for a carb because of the ignition.
I loved my 2000 C5. Factory it was rated at 345HP (later years were higher because they got the LS6 intake).
The heads, cam, and intake were definitely the bottle neck on the LS1.
Awesome to see an American working on an ls1 instead of a 5.3 or a 6.0, the ls1 is the cheapest LS in Australia and cool to finally see a build on one that isnt 5 - 10 years old.
Don't forget to clean the filter in the parts room AC so it works at peak efficiency! Love your show!
Tony you guys rock thank you I want to build a motor friends tell me to expensive. You did what I wanted to do. Thank you so much.
I love how you put a carb on it. Sooooooo many people trash talk a cam on an ls.
glad you put this out, it's great motivation for my exact same build lol
This is one of very few channels I hit thumbs up before the intro is over! Awesome content guys!
Amazing, thanks for watching!
I've read the motortrend low-buck 350 guide too. Neat to see it done now.
You can put an AFR aftermarket gauge that connects to the exhaust so that you can tell if you are going to get any gains by increasing the jets, but overall for a carburetor setup that is awesome for what you want to do with it!
What a wonderful episode. Just the type of content that is perfect for the audience. Love it TA!
Mark Donahue wrote about what you experienced with the heads, back in the 60s. They took an engine that had just finished a road race, dynoed it, swapped on brand new but identical heads, and it made more power! As an engine wears, the rotating assembly polishes itself and becomes more efficient, but the heads become worse. Seasoned engine + new heads nets the best of both worlds! Also look up Roger Rager and his Indy 500 school bus engine.
Why engines always run the best right before they let go
Tony sacrifices life and limb with the insane bale out from the bed of the pickup. Laughed my ass off. I really enjoy the channel, keep on kicking ass!!!!
I used a long 3/8 extension with the little puller; the rods fit in fine!
I know in youtube automotive when things break it means you're having fun but honestly the BEST videos you make are wins. Do it right and lets get some WINS
Thermoquad! The best carburetor ever!! I wish Freiburger would make that shirt again.
Great episode Guys. Can't wait to see this Rip.
SAME!
Nice to see Barb help out Chris with the Lightning 150....love both the channels 👍
