I mean, I hate to be the one to say it but building a hotrod isn't gonna get you as far as being able to do makeup. Of course, whoever said you couldn't do both? Makeup during the week, hotrods on the weekend?
I'd watch this all day wait i do lol Matt quick question watching the thirdgen camaro 4.8 gt45 when you said turbo was maxed out at 20psi is that all it would make regardless of gate spring ? Obviously you could turn it down but why haha. Thanks for the videos man I'm learning a lot.
4.8/5.3, Twin Walbro 450s, 1500-2200cc injectors, a decent cam (a dedicated turbo cam might make it easier but not necessary), a big turbo (like a S480 T6) and 20-30psi of boost.
Had a similar problem today with HPT scanner on my 03 Silverado p59. One LTFT was reading +95% lol not sure why. Took the hpt cable all apart and blew in the connectors like a Nintendo and it worked fine after that. Nice truck!
At what point would you say 93/watermeth isn’t sufficient enough? I’m running a gen 4 4.Great, ss2 cam. 80#decka injector. Cast 7875 On 20 pounds 10 deg. The car has trapped 142 mph in the 1/4 @ 3180 raceweight. I had planned to turn it all the way up this first time out
I like these kinds of videos especially the turbo trucks! Very informative plus backs up the reliability factor of these motors. I'm on virtually the same setup for the past 3 plus years now zero problems and I live in HOT AZ!
@@carrot4000 mpg on my 01 GMC truck with 50% ethanol and 50% 91 octane and 3500 stall converter I typically get city 14 to 16mpg. Highway with 4L80e lockup I get 18mpg. Just because of the high stall converter and ethanol mpg goes down.
Matt, do you prefer a 1500 rcsb or a colorado for a general shenanigans platform? I'm drawn to the silverados like the truck in this video, but they are just a little heavy..
I have a don't BS me clone, 7875 gen 1, 5.3, ss2 cam, 2 bar map, Deka 80s, air to air intercooler etc. It's on 93 pump. Is 14.5 psi at 13.5 degrees safe? Its been doing it. I have a boost cut at 14.8 psi. Just don't want to kill it before I get a meth kit.
I'm in the finishing stages of a 4.8, 4l80e, sloppy stage 2, pac 1218, budget circle d, billet 7875, so something very similar to this. Would the 80lb injectors and a single walbro 450 be to small for e85?
I'm still in awe at how far tuning has come. A far cry from turning distributors, changing advance weights, jets, and all the other shit that I'm glad I didn't get into back in the mid 90s. Although I still haven't gotten into this. Just reading and watching. I'm just a dreamer and rarely put my mind to anything. Thanks for the great vids Matt!
Super informative video for the entry level slops. I'm wrapping up my 2002 RCSB stepside 4.great build with a 7875 billet. Was curious as to whether it'd be worth it to go with E85 as it's somewhat available around me, but you confirmed it. Thanks Matt!
Builds like this gives a budget minded guy like me some hope to make that kind of reliable daily driver with the kids in the back seat and ditching my carb!
At what point would you start recommending switching to e85? My original goal was 600whp with deka 80s and a single walbro 450 but I'm moving soon and don't know where yet so I'm hesitant to commit to e85 just in case the area I end up moving to doesn't have e85 easily accessible. Would 91 be safe enough to support that power level without having to add meth?
As someone who has most of the info from this channel, I'd say probably not, add a meth injection and feed it rubbing alcohol and higher boost when you feel like making power but keep it on low boost so you dont have fill it constantly. Or prove me wrong and give results I'd love to see it.
@@AgiDaKinG I have the same setup and was in the same dilemma. I chose water/meth injection. Sitting just under 500whp on initial pulls at 11psi. Soon to push for super safe mid 500's.
Thomas Cahill lambda is just the ratio of air to fuel. It is on a scale of 0 being only fuel 1 being stoichiometric and above one being more air than fuel. To convert lambda to AFR for gas, multiply whatever the lambda is by 14.7. (stoichiometric for gas) a wideband calibrated for gas will read 14.7 AFR at lambda 1 out of the box. If you run e-85, your lambda is still 1, but your actual AFR is 13.5. On a wideband calibrated for gas, the gauge will read 14.7 if you have an actual AFR of 13.5. it’s just how the fuel burns. Lambda is the same for everything, so it’s nicer for stuff if you tune on weird fuels, but anyone can correct with a normal wideband.
I don't understand why you just dismiss the water-methanol so quick... a lot of us don't have the opportunity to run E85 cuz it's not where we are but it should be a great alternative. I've been running water meth for over a decade and there's a huge difference in my setup granted it's not an LS it's an old straight 6 that's boosted. I get knock around 17 18 degrees without the water meth on 24-25 lb of boost and with the water meth I run the same at 24 degrees and it's a drastic change. dialing in your nozzle size and when it comes on is the hardest part you want it to be on the verge of spitting because it's too much octane as boost is coming on but once it's at fullboost it's in The Sweet Spot all the way to redline... sounds like he's got a small nozzle in it. Don't take my ignition timing numbers the same as an LS ignition. LS are way more efficient than my old piece of shit.
I don’t understand why people use the no e85 near me as an excuse. Companies like ignite and vp you can get e85 shipped to your door for not much more than you can buy it at the pump...
For a daily it kinda sucks to have to run back home to fill up if you're going for a day trip or something. Knowing you have a safe tune that makes lots of power on whatever you put in the tank is good peace of mind.
Ribbityibzki ok that’s a good point. This isn’t something most people would daily but I can see if you’re street driving a lot the hassle of ordering fuel would be annoying.
@@MET90LX Yeah for a race car that gets trailered to the track there's no reason to not order fuel. I could see this rig being the kind that drives to the track and drives home. If it's in an area like mine it's an hour drive to the track. Kind of a waste to order a bunch of fuel and then burn more of it driving to the track than actually going down the track.
I'm getting ready to start a build with a 5.3 bc I have one, wanting something to replace my 421 ci small block CARB setup lol on nitro looking for 900 hp ish be a lil more than my small block setup thinking of using 80mm vs turbo snake eater 1000 or whatever would work best sloppy stage two cam guess I'm looking for the right direction to go I know you made 1000 on a 6.0 an 850+ would be ideal should not upset my car too much

That's good to hear my build has the same goals from a tr6060 and a 5.3 as you said many times 500 tire is more than enough to scare most that talk about big numbers
Matt you say it needs more octane to make more Hp but I thought it was a scientific deal that octane doesn’t make more power. (Bc you increased spark and it didn’t really like it as is). Just asking for knowledge 👍🏻
Some setups are octane limited and some are limited by the parts, this setup classically goes much farther on better fuel, so that is why i am saying octane would more than likely afford more power if they wanted to do that
Good god thank God. I still don't understand why this isn't number one on trending. I guess people like guys doing makeup more than hot rods now 🤣😂🤣

Hey Matt what is a good budget orientated water meth injection kit? 650 whp goal lq4 with cam and springs, 78/75, 93 pump gas.
Google DIY water/meth kit. Good info out there. You can throw your own kit together with amazon.com parts for less than $100.
