This is without a doubt the most informative series for engine nerds I’ve seen. Do not stop. I’ve read your articles and now am hooked of the channel. Thank you.
Thanx 540 love to make my hot rod bud chuckle..my channel is old ridge runner race truck.give it a look if ya want .I haven't had much time to get any more vids up lately..but 1st one up is my new 385 roller..sounds better towards the end
Richard is giving away information most tuners and engine builder keep a secret or don’t want to tell you. To me Richard is an awesome dude helping us all make serious car gains 💪
Thanks for keeping the videos coming, especially with everything that's going on right now. Your info is invaluable for those of us working on an LS swap.
I really like where this series is going. It applies to the average guy with an average paycheck and a friend at the local junkyard. I have a feeling it will show the capabilities and the limits of certain combos. I'll be watching every video!
Great work Richard! This is kind of information we like to see. I have a feeling a lot of cam companies will be contacting you to dyno their cams, and we cannot wait to see it!
I always enjoy the series you do. This one should be interesting. I think you should do a series on how to get the most low end torque N/A for towing with the 4.8 5.3 and 6.0 with different size headers, cams, intakes, heads. Find a set-up that give the best area under the curve below 5000 rpm or something. And then maybe throw a turbo on the best set up of each just for fun. Keep up the great content!!!
The intakes and heads don't really matter under 4k rpm. There is plenty of air coming through the stock stuff already. The Crane 210 seems to be a good combo that starts taking off about 4500 rpm. Below that, meh, it's a lot of work for not that much gain versus stock. Headers and exhaust are up to you. Keeping it quiet would be a priority for long towing trips since the drone can get really annoying after about 3 hours.
That beginning part of the video would answer a lot of people questions, i appreciate you taking the time to do this and actually explain. I will be sharing your videos with many
This is without a doubt the most informative series for engine nerds I’ve seen. Do not stop. I’ve read your articles and now am hooked of the channel. Thank you. THANKS, PAUL
Hi Richard, your videos are great, so much information for free its something grear, keep going like that. In the future i glad to see a 5.3 bored to 5.7 because this is the cheapest way upgrade the ci on this engine, thanks for all you effort to make this videos.
This is one of my favorite videos. I put a camshaft in my 5.3 (205/217 .500 lift) it’s similar to a the crane 210 cam run in this video. So I have an idea of what kind of power I’m making. I also put this same cam in my dad’s 6.0 truck.
Great content. Extremely relevant. Disregard the “too much talk” comments. What you say adds real value to the visuals. Keep the videos coming, please.
I need/want 500+ out of my 6.0 with minimal loss down low, preferably no losses at all, patiently awaiting next vids. Thanks again for the BEST content on LS engines, and all the other engine platforms as well !
man you're giving me ideas... ideas that might make my ford guy brother disown me. ideas involving that ranger i drive back and forth. i've had the idea honestly of engine swapping but you're definitely throwing gas on that fire lol.
LOVE all this ls stuff I really been trying to learn all I can about this engine family and this is by far the best channel I have found keep up the good work Richard..
Love this channel, so informative. Would like to see the timing curves you use when comparing cams, just to show how each cam affects the dynamic compression across the rev range. Keep up the awesome videos!
Its amazing how easily the l.s series motors make serious power compared to the old school sbc and the cam profile can be very aggressive and still have a decent lsa for idle characteristics I guess due to the change in location and being just fatter overall
Just like the old days , fact power info. Lots of room to unbottle power. One topic I've not seen .. with cam geometry vs displacement . I'm glad you showed the shift with displacement. IE: medium cam in a bid cube = tall cam in a small cube engine. It's all volumetric.
Dude you are a champ!!! Could you please make a video about what you do to the inspect a junkyard motor before you buy it/ things to look for and what to avoid?
I just want to thank you for covering the 4.8 because that is what i have in my 03 tahoe not a lot of ppl cover the 4.8l but what i would like to know is what is good for towing how am i gonna get the torque up? Im not to worried about peak H.P. but thank you again for covering the 4.8l
I'm pleased to see that the 4.8 didn't lose anything on the low end, it seemed to stay relatively the same. All the gains were up top, as I suspected. Judging by the dyno graph, a cammed 4.8l wouldn't be anymore 'sluggish' with a stock stall, compared to the stock engine configuration? I'm on the fence with the 4.8 in my 11' RCSB silverado, should I work with what I have? or swap a 6.0, or 6.2? Then convert over to a 4l80e? Decisions, decisions.
I love you and everything you do, but could you test the summit vs comp truck cams on the 5.3 motors? If not I know you’re flooded with requests so don’t worry. Just thought I’d ask since there is almost 0 info and videos about summits truck cam line and how they compare.
i wanted to see the last 5.3 cam run in the 6.0 to see what kind of power that made. other than that I love your videos. lots of great info to help with my tuning.
Would love to see a comparison of log manifold vs header for headers and manifolds that flow the same on a turbo application. I want to know if the tube length effect falls off when you put it under pressure driving a turbo.

Me rollin in my Prelude with negative 5 horsepower 😎
This is without a doubt the most informative series for engine nerds I’ve seen. Do not stop. I’ve read your articles and now am hooked of the channel. Thank you.
What about taking the 4.8 crank and putting it in the 6.0 block and running to 7500?
I feel the same way. So informative
Please don't stop U are helping everybody that loves cars
My biggest take away from your videos... Stop listening to the hype. Here's what works and WHY!!! Thanks Richard and don't stop being you.
I remember when the 6.0 GTO first came out, bone stock made 352/352 at the wheels
I'm in the 6.2 crowd and got a solid chuckle at the "pull 2 plug wires" comment 😂 You're the man
Lol I'm in a gen 1 block I pull a plug wire to make people think it has a cam in it....lol just kidding
Thanx 540 love to make my hot rod bud chuckle..my channel is old ridge runner race truck.give it a look if ya want .I haven't had much time to get any more vids up lately..but 1st one up is my new 385 roller..sounds better towards the end
Still one of my favorite videos! Multiple ways to make power. 400hp is a good daily driver power level.
5.3L starts at 8:17.

Man of the hour
The amount of quality material you are putting out is unprecedented. Thanks for everything you do for the automotive community.
Kevin Moore once and a while there is these channels. The rest of the time it’s useless face vlogger idiot teens who just do dumb shit.
Hot rod nostalgia is gonna be so great in 20 years just like the 60’s muscle cars were when we were kids. We got to live with the legends.
The best to ever do it!! God bless Richard holdener, he’s giving out free game 👍🏾

This is going to be the best series of this decade

Yo Richard, these are easily the best videos on youtube. Keep the content coming!
Man your videos are so entertaining and informative. Whenever I need to renew my interest in my LS I come right here and gather even more knowledge.
This is going to be a great series!
Great work Richard! This is kind of information we like to see. I have a feeling a lot of cam companies will be contacting you to dyno their cams, and we cannot wait to see it!
Video thumbnail placement is spot on now. Great job. These are saving me a ton of research, and mistakes. Thanx a bundle!
Some of the best content out there...can’t wait to try a combo on my 5.3 Tahoe. Thank you Sir! Keep it coming.....

Id like to do a mild hp/torque boost on mine. Too bad he doesnt do whp with accessories.

Great comparisons and information to know. Keep up the awesome content.
I love this stuff! Can we see all 3 400hp curves overlayed? Im curious how they stack up
Thanks for clear , concise, & unadulterated info.
You are the man... Keep the videos coming. They are great
This is some badass content Richard, you win the internet!! Lol
Love this guy. Remain Calm And Carry On. Subscribed
Man you should have 1 million subs. Great, informative channel 👍🏻👍🏻
Damn your videos are very straight to the point and super educational!👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for clearing up the power rating at the beginning of the video things make a lot more sense now
I already love this video(the whole series) really and I haven't even finished watching this video, but ill keep you posted
Thanks! Keep them coming!
Love these vids. Especially building on a budget, like the cheap-ass that I am.
Awesome content! Breaking out the pen and paper!
Thanks again Richard, You are my go to Ls info person
Richard holdener is the best ls info on the internet with proven results. Hands down best guy on ls motors!!!
Mr. To hang out with you is number 1 through 10 on my bucket list way over the to Steve's and Freiburger keep it up thank you so much
Another great video! Thanks!
Sounds good. Can't wait to see what happens on the ls next video
Goals first
You hardly need to be here Matt. You figured this stuff out years ago 😂
@@Lee-rc5en facts
This channel is awesome.
So glad covid19 hasn't scared you. I simply must get my Saturday morning cartoons 😍
He probably doesn't watch the Democratic media. But I repeat myself.

Thank goodness for this test or nobody would have any idea how to mod these engines.
This is soo cool I plan on doing a NA build on my 4.8 in the future and then probably a lq4 or lq9 swap down the road
This is Awesome. Thanks brotha
Super helpful. Thanks for sharing
I love this so much and it’s by far the most informative channel out there. Now if I could get you to do the same with hemi’s😏
Great content. Extremely relevant. Disregard the “too much talk” comments. What you say adds real value to the visuals.
Keep the videos coming, please.
Awesome material man Bless you brother
Awsome content as usual Rich
I hope he runs mildly ported cathedrals with these cams
It is a good time to crank out a bunch of videos with everybody quarentined at home.
thanks for the great content richard you are the man
^agreed^
Thank you for all the work
Keep up the great work my brother 👏
The Holdener Recipe Book. This is gold.
Ahhh yes finally a pinnacle yt mechanic for my 5.3! You might need some more search tags, I search 5.3 mods all day and just finally found you.
the best. you just show results. no bullshit. something for everyone to learn from.
I need/want 500+ out of my 6.0 with minimal loss down low, preferably no losses at all, patiently awaiting next vids. Thanks again for the BEST content on LS engines, and all the other engine platforms as well !
Kurt Johannessen go look a few videos agozzz
@@W5rr2nG I've seen them, want to see other cam combos since there's so many out there
I’m a big fan of the little 4.8, but that torque line is tough to argue with. 6.0 is a monster in comparison
Fantastic information 👍
man you're giving me ideas... ideas that might make my ford guy brother disown me. ideas involving that ranger i drive back and forth. i've had the idea honestly of engine swapping but you're definitely throwing gas on that fire lol.
LOVE all this ls stuff I really been trying to learn all I can about this engine family and this is by far the best channel I have found keep up the good work Richard..
Looking forward to your dyno testing video
Most underrated UA-cam channel
Richard holdener your awesome! Love your channel.
“Fresh from the junkyard” hahaha gets me every time
Fresh from the "RACE SHOP"
Richard Holdener 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼😂
Sweet I love your videos.
Love this channel, so informative. Would like to see the timing curves you use when comparing cams, just to show how each cam affects the dynamic compression across the rev range. Keep up the awesome videos!
The curves are the same for the cams
Richard Holdener please post the rest of this series in this video’s description. I can’t find them at all.
How about some l83 test for us guys with the newer trucks awesome as always! Thanks and great job!
Its amazing how easily the l.s series motors make serious power compared to the old school sbc and the cam profile can be very aggressive and still have a decent lsa for idle characteristics I guess due to the change in location and being just fatter overall
Just like the old days , fact power info. Lots of room to unbottle power.
One topic I've not seen .. with cam geometry vs displacement .
I'm glad you showed the shift with displacement. IE: medium cam in a bid cube = tall cam in a small cube engine.
It's all volumetric.
Great video
Dude you are a champ!!! Could you please make a video about what you do to the inspect a junkyard motor before you buy it/ things to look for and what to avoid?
This was awesome video you should do one for ford 4.6 2v 3v and 4v and a dodge video also keep up the good work
Keep doing God's work Rich!
0:40 How to make 400 hp.
Pull two spark plugs wires OFF.
Chow Dong I did and I made 50hp on my Honda motor. What did I do wrong! 😫
@@mrmidnight32
Pull another
Spark plug wire
Make another 50 hp.
@@mrmidnight32
I going to pull all 8 spark plug wires.
Thinking I will be making 600 hp.
So if you pull spark plug wires you can get more Horsepower.. is this with any engine?
tjsavage711 I got a mustang V6 it has 6. ..... Like remove the 2 wires and the two spark plugs
I just want to thank you for covering the 4.8 because that is what i have in my 03 tahoe not a lot of ppl cover the 4.8l but what i would like to know is what is good for towing how am i gonna get the torque up? Im not to worried about peak H.P. but thank you again for covering the 4.8l

Excellent series Richard but what about some Sbf power combos
your videos are great
i wanted to see the last 5.3 cam run in the 6.0 to see what kind of power that made. other than that I love your videos. lots of great info to help with my tuning.
Nice!
Awesome
400 from a LS3.... have to pull two spark wires!...lol
ktmr8 lol that was funny 😂
Would love to see a comparison of log manifold vs header for headers and manifolds that flow the same on a turbo application. I want to know if the tube length effect falls off when you put it under pressure driving a turbo.
I've always wondered the same thing
Great videos ! do u hv videos on how to tune for these different cams ?
ty for ur time......the newbie
