    When I did my LS swap on my Chevy OBS I put together a spreadsheet showing the pros and cons in cost of moving to the LS vs a 350. Even though I probably could have put a 350 in a little cheaper I am so glad I went LS. It is so much more powerful than the old TBI 350. Thank you for putting this kind of information together to educate people to make the most informed choices.

    There was 2 cathedral port intakes you left off, but I can understand why since they were both limited production. You had the 05 Trailblazer/Envoy/SSR intake which was like the gen 3 truck intake, but used a 4 bolt throttle body, and the ls4 fwd 5.3l car intake.

  • @jacquescrusan9500
    @jacquescrusan9500 2 місяці тому

    For any 4.8l LR4 lovers/users out there:
    If you have the clearance by which to do so, highly recommend getting the TBSS 5.3l cathedral port intake if it will fit under your hood (truck guys, don't worry about this. It'll be fine.) After testing this back to back with a stock truck intake, I noticed some marked gains and have some real-world numbers to work with.
    Setup: 1. 4.8l LR4 sourced from 2003 Tahoe.
    2. Stage 1 ported 706/862 cylinder heads from Total Engine Airflow (part number TEA-OEM5.3ST1-CUSTOM if you're curious about the specs, although different valve springs were ultimately used) side note; as far as I'm aware, the only difference between 706 and 862 head castings were the methods used to cast them. Otherwise they are identical.
    3. Summit Racing Pro LS stage 2 truck cam P/N SUM-8701R1 (.522"/.524", 218/227 @.050", 112 LSA
    4. Mahle 3.830" head gaskets, .051" compressed thickness
    5. Summit Racing Pro LS domed pistons P/N SUM-2999273810-2 (chosen because it had the correct wrist pin diameter) -> static compression ratio 9.83:1
    6. Holley 92mm 4-bolt cable-actuated throttle body.
    7. (x8) de-capped EV6 injectors (stock flow 30 lb/hr)
    8. stock LS1 corvette manifolds ported only to remove harsh transitions and 90 degree corners.
    9. modified 2002 Camaro SS ECU and wiring harness (modified only to fit the EV6 injectors onto the new harness.
    Running them directly back to back (WOT) shows that torque production at or below 4,700 RPM is virtually identical, with small 1's and 2's popping up where the different resonant tuning of each manifold comes into effect and then falls out. Between 4,800 and 5,800 I observed an average torque gain of ~8 lb-ft, with the difference growing the higher the RPM goes. From 5,800 to 7,000 average torque production increased to ~10 lb-ft with the only time the difference being less was at and beyond 6,800 RPM.
    Disclaimers: oil pan used was a Speed Engineering Camaro SS swap pan, with a stock windage tray worked over to have sharper leading edges. Oil used was Mobil-1 5W-30 full-synthetic, 6 quarts. Idle oil pressure (normal operating temperature) - 28 PSI; redline oil pressure - 78 PSI. Stock water pump from 2006 Trailblazer SS used. Engine ran in mostly stock configuration (alternator, P/S pump, water pump). Peak numbers: 368 lb-ft @5,300 - 387 HP @ 6,700 RPM.
    Do with this information what you will.

    Just to add to what you’ve already stated, DBW throttle bodies were added to some trucks early on, such as the Denali Truck/SUV 6.0L in 2001, Escalade 6.0L in 2002, as well as the 8.1L trucks. These early truck DBW 3-bolt throttle bodies had the same appearance motor as the Corvette, just on the opposite side of the throttle body.

    great info. question, if you swap a truck manifold with a drive by cable throttle body to a TBSS manifold. witch DBC 90 mm throttle body do you advise? I hear that the 90 mm DBC throttle body's are difficult to tune? ( idle ). i installed a TBSS wit a adapter plate and the 75 mm DBC throttle body because my tuner told me the 90 mm are expensive, and the cheap one's are difficult to tune the idle. But i want the 90 mm because the more air you can get in, the more power?

  • @boostlab5137
    @boostlab5137 3 місяці тому

    Important to add when going FI or even a fuel pump larger than 380 you can still use the returnless fuel rail upto 900hp. Just have to run two lines from the tank/sending unit all the way upto the back of the fuel rail, run a T a few inches away from the back of the fuel rail for the fuel pump feed in, and out to fuel rail and out of the side port to adjustable fuel pressure regulator, then from the bottom outlet on fpr to return to the tank.
    The corvette filter/fpr wont keep up pressure wise once FI is added and with the return so close to the tank you would be unnecessarily heating your fuel.

    A couple of corrections: the 2005 MY Corvette which came with the LS2 is a C6, not a C5. Additionally, only the 1997/98 MY Corvettes came with a return style fuel system - from 1999 onwards it was returnless, so that started much earlier than suggested in the video (for the Corvettes specifically).

      @@AutoGuild I was hoping to see what horsepower numbers it would get. I realize it's the worst performer but what are the numbers, how bad is it? I recently found a freshly rebuilt set of 243's on an LS4 in the Pull-it-yard and graphed the intake "just for fun". Some plastic welding might help with the airflow bottleneck, and they are *low* profile.

    Why do you need my physical address to send an e-book?
    PS: Good info.

      I dont, not sure why it asked for personal address. I'll see if I can correct that. Thanks

    Forgot about the LS4 car intake for cathedral port.
    The worst of them all!

    You missed the actual worst LS intake and threw undeserved shade on the ls1 intake.
    The worst intake is the LS4 by far.

    This video is very disappointing because there's a lot of information in here. That isn't quite accurate and there's a lot of things in here that are , just straight up false. Some of the advice in here is decent , but most of it is really not. For instance, a returnless fuel system is going to leave your fuel a lot hotter, which does increase detonation. having your fuel system on a return loop to the tank keeps the fuel that is on top of your injectors at a much lower temp.
    Richard holdener has already shown that the factory rec port intakes make the same exact power on a dyno. He's also done a multitude of intake manifold tests for both cathedral and rectangular port heads, showing that there are intake manifolds out there that gain power in other places. Aside from just the high rpm. F.a.s.t lsxr manifold is a great example! No low speed loss.
    I might be wrong about this one. But I have never in my life seen an LS engine equipped car that came with pwm controlled fuel pump.
    That's as far as I made it into the video before deciding. I should probably point out the inaccuracies in this video. I hope in the future. You make further efforts to not put out false information period.

For instance, a returnless fuel system is going to leave your fuel a lot hotter, which does increase detonation. having your fuel system on a return loop to the tank keeps the fuel that is on top of your injectors at a much lower temp. --AG: All modern GM engines are returnless now, so it apparently works fine.

Aside from just the high rpm. F.a.s.t lsxr manifold is a great example! No low speed loss. --AG: He's usually testing super high horsepower big displacement engines, in some of those instances the aftermarket intakes can be good, but for most people they do not make sense. He has many videos saying that too.
      3) I have never in my life seen an LS engine equipped car that came with pwm controlled fuel pump. --AG: Not LS, new LT has that, todays trucks and SUVs.

      @@AutoGuild Richard holder has done many tests with the lm7 to test cathedral Port intakes. Aside from that the smaller engines just gain less from the better flowing intake.
      Yes GM does not have return lines anymore probably to cut costs like you said in your video. However that doesn't make it suddenly more efficient to run hot fuel than it does to run cold fuel. Use your common sense and understand that returnless is a downgrade from having a return system.

    You Rt on some things. I've owned 7 3 -5th gens LS base cars since age 17. On the performance side I was the 1st in the southern region and my state to put a full weight true stock tq arm suspension small LS base gen 3 Camaro in the 80s . 5.80s. yes as will then and now I realized the aftermarket like FAST that cost 900-1000$ or better bk then did not cm up with a original performance intake make they simply went directly off Gm already LS1, LS3, and 6 style design they only ported and came up with a little better Flow design and for HP per $ buying one the $ to HP gains didn't add up. So we would just run the Ls6 style OEM intake. But as far as the trail blazers truck style intake they will hurt your HP under curve and HP RPM ramp bad vs a car design Gm Ls intake rectangle or cathedral port styles, the cathedral port styles works better for force induction and nitrous use . The rect port styles has a total difference type air flow flow that on the Dyno with Carry HP better mid and top end. So no I disagree that the truck TBSS OEM intakes out flow nore wk better dealing with forced and nos induction type motors like we run in the grudge race world.
