I'm about 5 months late. I have a very similar build. I went with Shorty headers and the. closed intake box. I need to replace my coil packs though. Consider. either swapping your transmission for 4L80 take it to a transmission shop and see if they can beef up your 4L60 with the Corvette servo and a couple other things. The cheaper option, but you'll notice she's a lot quicker to change gears Also considering about changing your rear gears to something like 4.10 or 3.73
I have an 04 4.8 and I put the tsp chopacobra in it along with that I did long tubes will a full exhaust cold air intake and injectors and it made 310 to the tire. I did all the work myself and then had a shop tune it and I think I had right around 2500 into the setup. Stock converter and the truck drives amazing and moves pretty good
I wondered if injectors would do anything for me. I'd be nervous about losing even more gas mileage. I get just under 15 mpg and am on the highway 90% of the time.
and this is why I just put on an amazon "CAI" and changed plugs. first thing on these that seems to make sense and gain the most for the price is a cam swap/tune
If Las Vegas had a reputable shop/tuner that I could trust to do that for me, I'd probably do it. I could do the cam myself, but tuning would be a bigger challenge and mean dozens of hours of research and possibly some costly mistakes. One of these days I might try it though.
@@willzbillzfam could the shop that did your original dyno tune handle that? you may be able to get a remote tuner that can get a baseline then do some datalogs and send off then they make revisions. I did similar when I swapped my 1990 Mustang to a Microsquirt
My dad’s daily driver is 2000 Silverado LM7 5.3 king cab . With 150k miles. Running 33inch tires. We added a BTR stage 1 truck cam Shorty headers Full 3 inch catback Cold air intake Alex @ New era performance tuned it, and our dyno #s are 254hp 275TQ on 91 octane. Everything else is still factory. We were a bit disappointed too. So where doing next a bigger intake manifold and throttle body and sending those to 454 Chuy for porting and maybe some performance heads if I can convince him. He really wants 300hp+. With a stage 1 or 2 cam you will gain more power with all those supporting mods.
What sold you on the BTR? I was considering a Truck Norris but didn’t think it’d be worth it based on dyno tests. Hard to say. I also thought about a Fast LSXR intake and/or a torque converter with a slightly higher stall… maybe around 2000 to keep it drivable but stay a little closer to the power band. Either way, I think I’ve learned that forced induction is the best bang for your buck.
@@willzbillzfam Did some research on the cam and since my dad didn’t want to upgrade the converter and really wanted more low end over top end we liked the stage 1 from BTR, I’ve had good customer service from them on previous builds and on my personal truck. I wanted the truck Norris NSR cam personally for his truck too. But after talking to BTR they said it will take a really good tuner with patience to make it work with a stock converter. But how it drives now its like stock truck and didn’t even through a check engine light that’s how small the stage 1 is. Yeah your tuner can make it chop or whatever but if I would do it again I would do a stage 2 or a truck Norris. My tuner is good and I think it would be a good daily no problem. For under $500 you can get a cam kit with everything you need I’m sure you will be closer to the 300hp with your mods. And it’s stupid easy to swap it. We did the swap in under 4hrs. Between me and him. Will need another tune after and I think you will be happy, throw in some heads while you’re there too. Over spending thousands on a blower. We live in La Quinta CA, did the work in 115 degrees lol. Gotta Love that desert life!
Time to cam the motor , Truck Norris Cam and it comes with a kit , LS6 Valve Springs and 5/16 push rods . Great and friendly torque converter , no need for high stall converter , its an option . After camming the motor have it tune by your speed shop . There you have it , bro . Beautiful truck you have bro .
Thanks! I've been looking into a Circle D torque converter with a slightly higher stall than stock. What's the idea with the LS6 valve springs and 5/16 push rods?
He’s recommending you replace your stock cam with a BTR TRUCK NORIS CAM I recommend the no springs required truck NORIS cam cause the other cam is a higher lift cam and only adds about 9 extra ponies, but I would still add the valve springs for peace of mind.. with just this cam and supporting mods and a retune your truck would definitely wake up in my opinion
Thanks for the video. Was going to say cam it. Then you said what you said. Lol, speaking of Vegas im here right now and it feels like an inferno!. Keep doing your videos✌️
Good point. The right cam probably won't hurt anything and will add power up top. Have you had a positive experience putting a cam in anything? Was it a big change in the driving experience?
I've got a similar build but with a 02 Tahoe L59 engine and so far done the longtubes, dual x pipe exhaust, catless, S&B Cold air intake, Efan swap, 40k tru cool, corvette servo, ported TB and i've had it street tuned on just 87 gas and according to HP Tuners I'm making about 365 crack which I'm assuming 310 ish to the rear wheels, but im not sure how accurate HP tuners can be since Dynos are expensive. Soon I will get it on the dyno to see if maybe we're identical! but for how heavy this Tahoe and how old mine is, it pulls really hard on the 30 rolls, just gets up and really goes, especially since mine is tuned to shift at about 5800 RPM.
Would love to know what you get from the dyno. Mine is tuned in 92 but I don't have the servo or tru cool. What benefits have you noticed from those two mods? I am very tempted to get HP Tuners myself so I can dive into that whole world. I see a lot of benefits but also a huge amount to learn. Not sure I'm ready for that. For now, I have a Circle D torque converter on the way with a 22-2400 stall. I'm told it'll still have a mostly stock feel for driving around town but will give me a nice performance boost off the line.
@@willzbillzfam the servo is a huge change it shifts a lot faster and not as firm as people say, if you're cruising you don't even feel the bump until you go wide open throttle on the 1-2 shift. transmission cooler is a MUST for performance, got mine off ebay for $130 and I do not go past 160 on the trans temps which is awesome because on the stock small trans cooler I would be at about 190 to 195F if I was in the highway, and that was when it was about 80 degrees outside so it definitely helps! how is your torque converter experience?? I've been thinking about getting a 2400 to maybe 2600 but I really want it to feel like stock until I step on it so I'm not high rpms all the time and waste more gas. that's really the only thing slowing me on digs, it starts of so slow until about 2500 rpm then it really starts to pick up, so I might get the same one as yours if you really like it! max I think I'd go is 2800 because I don't wanna go too high either.
They're 295/45R20 Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4's which are a little less than half an inch taller and an inch and a half wider as the stock 255/70R16's that came on these trucks.
I recommend a tbss manifold, bigger injectors, I went with 44lbs, melling oil pump, beehive springs, btr cam, I went with stage 3 truck cam v2,but I had to replace the converter so I got a circle d 3200-3400 for 4L60, new gaskets all around, get those heads milled for better compression, speed engineering long tube headers, 92mm throttle body from summit, k&n intake, aluminum radiator(I got mine off eBay for 130), w electronic cooling fans, corvette servo, 4.10 gears, new sensors all around, and a tune. 👍🏽

I never do this but when I seen your video I have never ever seen a person spend so much money on nothing.. For the money you spent, you could have bought a better cold air intake away. Better throttle body for half the price, an awesome intake for what you paid for porting and your dorman.. You are the classic example of a wannabe car guy. Hiding behind.I'm doing what I wanna do.. I'm doing what I like... Instead of actual goal achieving modifications...
Cam kit, valve springs, Camaro intake, torque converter, and a custom tune. That will allow all your other mods shine also. You may not like a supercharger cause all the power is right there with the rpm. It is hard to manage. If you want a power added go with a turbo. So much easier to adjust the boost you are needing at that given time.
I wish I could test drive different cams, superchargers, and turbos. They’re such big mods, I’m afraid I won’t love the experience once they’re in and I’m stuck with it. Haven’t found many review videos either.
@@willzbillzfam start with what I stated before adding your power adder of choice. Being 2wd I would suggest a procharger or turbo kit that way you can ramp in your boost so you won't break traction. Supercharger would be instant power and traction would become an issue. Spinning ain't winning is what we say around here. (Only reason I haven't bought a supercharger myself) 😎
Proven fact- even at much higher hp numbers the "hot air" isn't hurting you in the SLIGHTEST. I suggest you read up, or nowadays just watch some horsepower, engine masters , Richard Holdener,or really any reputable engine builders videos for the info -On Granitelli- they've been around forever, have a great support system and great products. The Dorman (as much as I hate their lack of QC) has again been PROVEN to damn near match most ls3 stuff/ again; watch some Richard Holdener. The rest is 100% personal preference in my opinion . Headers of course have plenty of proven numbers with different cams, soringsets, fueling, abd every other combo under the sun. Mufflers- same but damn near equal with mild mods like you/ sound choice. E fans and Rad - your best bet is the forums, shops want to sell their products, their sponsors, etc. Good luck!
Good stuff. Ya, I always thought cold air is more dense and therefore packs a bigger punch when it burns up. Goes to show how good the marketing is for some of these products that do zero for you with performance.
Unfortunately not. Big mistake. These came from the factory with 285 hp and 325 lbs of torque at the crank but who know how much is lost to the wheels.
Taking nothing away from you, video production,edit, everything! A+++ subbed. I just have to add, it's an old truck that made 285 CRANK new, basically stock+ no real power adders in the broadest idea of real world- what in the world did you expect? The "disgeartening" cannot be even close to real. You appear way to clever, have talked to too many companies, have done enough research to speak clearly and plainly about certain things. You 100% HAD to be aware that was a realistic end goal number where you stand. I don't buy it. NOW, that being said ; for funny haha (especially the Carrey which I giggled at myself!) 😂 and "production ", lead in for future and heck- you get it- well...I get it. But C'MONNN lol like I said; subbed. So it works? Or I just continue to prove my own idiocy by chasing flashes if light.. either one us a win for you I reckon lol. Good luck! Once I finish my 6.0 , I've got a 6.2 with plans, think I may take a lighthearted approach similarly. Have fun, be safe, ttyl bud! And like my truck windows say- I Hope something good happens to you today 🙏
Genuinely man, the horse power should be much higher, I’ve never seen one that low stock I don’t think, very weird. Check out the truck Norris cam also, the torque gains and where they start are insane on it
Know of any videos where they put a stock LM7 on a dyno? I’m curious how far off I am. I know these things came with 285 at the crank but who knows what made it to the wheels. The Truck Norris seems like the most popular.
I think everything you’ve done has been in preparation for cam plus super charger or turbo. However I would just get a bigger motor if thats your goal.
I had Leading Edge Performance tune it. Is that what you're talking about? They told me they tuned it to get more power out of it but keep it as drivable and reliable as possible.
@willzbillzfam you spent about 6000$ (including all the money you wasted on the intake). You could have just got a cam long tube headers and tune and made 70hp more than what you did and spent alot less and if your gonna spend 600 dollars on a factory intake you could have gotten a tbss style intake for the same price and made more power the map sensor was a waste of money the cold air intake was a waste of money the ignition components were a waste of money and the ported throttle body all because of one thing your engine isn't making enough power to gain anything from these mods but if you put a hotter cam in it you might have actually gained power not just from the cam but from all your other mods as well because they work together your stock intake and throttle body weren't restricting air close to how much your factory cam is
U may need a tune. I'm pushing way more power with my full bolt on tuned 5.3 lmg and didn't cost as much as that one. It has hooker short tubes ,CAI, magneflow catted y pipe,magneflow straight through round 18 inch muffler dumped before the rear tire, tuned, catch can ,Taylor wires and ac delco plugs. Can't think of anything else to make it run any smoother and has great power especially over 3500rpms unless l would change cam ,manually delete dod and supporting mods.
You bout the wrong “performance” parts those mods you did are supporting mods for upgraded internals better coils and plugs are really only needed for boost applications grab yourself a cam send the heads off to be ported and polished while it’s apart out in a high pressure oil pump and go from there. After that if you want boost then go for it
For sure. Might pull the trigger on a cam soon but I'm not sure what to do about the tune once I put it in. Las Vegas doesn't have any good tuners. I've tried a few of them. Maybe there's a shop in California I can find.
@ you could swap to an aftermarket system my squarebody Chevy has an lm7 and uses fitech efi it self adjusts like the Holley kits but it’s much cheaper some people have issues with them but I haven’t had any with mine
This dude Is a victim of car shops selling him stuff that he believed worked? Who spends $600 on a mass air? Because they're scared of codes...... I'll tell you exactly who a fake car guy.. Who ports a stock intake? Win for the moneyYou could have purchased an absolute beast of an intake.. And who has their throttle body ported? When you can buy an absolutely fantastic throttle body for $300..... Let me say it again, a fake carGuy who doesn't know what he's doing

Just supercharge it.. get a whipple kit or the lsa kit
As soon as I have $7k laying around 😄
You bout the wrong “performance” parts those mods you did are supporting mods for upgraded internals better coils and plugs are really only needed for boost applications grab yourself a cam send the heads off to be ported and polished while it’s apart out in a high pressure oil pump and go from there. After that if you want boost then go for it
For sure. Might pull the trigger on a cam soon but I'm not sure what to do about the tune once I put it in. Las Vegas doesn't have any good tuners. I've tried a few of them. Maybe there's a shop in California I can find.
@ you could swap to an aftermarket system my squarebody Chevy has an lm7 and uses fitech efi it self adjusts like the Holley kits but it’s much cheaper some people have issues with them but I haven’t had any with mine
This dude Is a victim of car shops selling him stuff that he believed worked? Who spends $600 on a mass air?
Because they're scared of codes...... I'll tell you exactly who a fake car guy.. Who ports a stock intake? Win for the moneyYou could have purchased an absolute beast of an intake.. And who has their throttle body ported? When you can buy an absolutely fantastic throttle body for $300..... Let me say it again, a fake carGuy who doesn't know what he's doing
Good thing we're truck people and not carGuys! Thanks for watching us wrench on the truck!
@@willzbillzfam it's the same world..again petty thinking that would only cone from a wannabe car/truck guy/girl....
