It’s insane how you can take a junkyard iron block 5.3, boost the crap out of it, and run insane times for what is comparatively very little cost... the LS is a damn impressive engine, especially in the right hands.
That's Badass!! My dream is to LS/T-56 swap my 87 GTA that I bought from the original owner 23 years ago. I'd really love to go with an LS-3 N/A, would strictly be a street car. Might take it to the strip just to get a time slip but love street racing. Really, any LS will do and will probably wind up with a 5.3 to keep the cost down. A friend of mine has a boosted 5.3 in his 88 GTA and it went an 8.81 in the quarter last time I saw it at the strip. Love the 3rd gen F-Body!!
I'm an old school racer, high compression and solid cams, I have to get with the program. Got to start learning about forced induction. Cool as hell, great job on a budget or not, that's badass. 👍👍🏁🏁
Same here. 👏👏👏 It's no more wrong than flathead Fords. We still MUST keep traditional builds alive. Technology has come so far, and yet it's still not over! Chattering valves and dancing cams are nostalgic, respect is never lost, and will always be fun to drive.

Junkyards, creative (some say hard headed) and elbow grease is the core of true hot rodding.
Awesome job!
^ agreed, mechanical ingenuity

Same here, one of my favorite styles of F-Body.
Just got my junk yard 5.3 today. Can't wait to put it in my 94 firechicken

Keep using your high compression and solid lift cams. Just add boost and alcohol to the mix and things get real rowdy!
Awesome 😎 I have a junkyard 5.3 in my firebird also . That camaro in the right lane looks familiar , Ive seen it on the Fbody groups
The white Camaro at the end? If so, that's Travis Martin. he won Rocky Mountain Race Week twice in 2020, crazy.
What cam are you using and what trans
geeze the wind noise
Junkyard powered Trans am FTW 😎💪🏽
What hood is that? my truck intake won't clear the stock formula hood and I really like the one you got.
Go Wesley!!
Forgot until I just edited it how epic a junkyard build it is, and he wins, badass!
What fuel?
Back to Muncie Racing!!!! Hope I’m up soon 😁
I’m doing your car next. Actually both of them! Awesome cars!
Just posted your 7.98 pass against the turbo S197 from the semi final at Muncie on my Facebook
@@DragRacingandCarStuff
Awesome!!!!
@@UR50SLO I'm enjoying going through this footage from Muncie. Such a badass car!
@@DragRacingandCarStuff
Absolutely!!!!!
I love that car. Wish we were neighbors
What suspension are you running for it to hook up
What rear end?
Is that a custom turbo kit?
Waay cool build, are you using E85 fuel.? Thanks sir.
Can I drop off my car and a blank check?
How was the cam in 2 blown up motors?
Taylor Humes@ I Agree.
"The cam was taken from TWO MOTORS"? Soon as i heard it,
I said...WHAT??? 😲
Cut it in half and welded back together!! Lmao
Nothing under that hood looks "blown up"...
20k setup on a 100 dollar car.
You couldn’t be any more wrong if you tried lol
