@@LawrenceTolman yep. I used to work for a medium duty / conversion pickup/ hummer dealer in 02..... "customizers" was the company that did this orange, and and big bird safety yellow, on RCSB trucks. YOUR orange, and the hood graphic, NAILED the correct look 👍👍👍👍👍
Actually, they did make these tucks in a shade of orange very close to that. Buddy of mine had a step side regency in orange, believe it was a 2002 model.
E85 is great stuff for boost. I would be careful increasing the timing by so much without a dyno to verify power increases. Maybe 4-5° higher than your gas map until you can get it on the rollers. Make sure you’re gaining about 8-10hp per degree added, and once you’re below that hp increase per degree, call it good for a street driven vehicle. You can easily add more timing than you should with E85 because it will almost never knock. You can add so much timing that it can start to damage things. Love the content! Keep it coming!
I'm officially 100% Jealous LT! From the mechanical mods to the wrap (In my favorite color no less) to the overall experience of walking through this build has brought me back to my younger years turning wrenches in the pits at the local drag strip to squeeze a tenth or two out of my old 1972 Orange Vega GT with a Buick power plant backed by a 2 speed. Times have changed, but the thrill and love of the build hasn't. Huge props to you and this build! Good luck at LS Fest! Zip~
I’ve seen plenty of LSA installs on UA-cam but this one really is the only one that looks like it came from the factory. I’m glad you took the time for detail
Word of caution on the 3bar OS on a P59. The P59’s I’ve put a 2 bar OS on, cuts the fuel table resolution in half, in that there are the same number of rows for 0-210 kpa as there was for the 1 bar 0-105. Going to 3 bar makes it that much worse. P01 ecm will give you 3x the rows as a p59. But plugging a p01 ecm into a blue green harness will require re-pinning.
Awesome video! We just installed the e85 sensor in our build as well( NNBS 4.8 78/75). It’s pretty intense seeing the timing on e85 when you’re used to pump gas lol. Would definitely like to setup a race sometime!
That's right the LSA really likes E85...fortunately I have E85 within 6 miles every direction and I see another being built even closer... Thanks for the information!
LT, your videos convinced me to do an 8.1 swap on my 85 one ton Tow vehicle. aka The Mill Truck. you gave a lot of information really fast in this video. Taking Notes over here.
I can FEEL that excitement of pulling up the onramp to the highway through the video. Nice! 👍 For the "show n' shine" segment of ls fest: those lights dude. Might wanna dress those up a bit. The wheels- do you have the time to get them powdercoated? Black with very subtle orange highlights would look absolutely *mint* on those. Same for the calipers. Again, if you have the time. Badass build LT!👍👌
Truck looks amazing and you transformed it into an animal. Definitely would’ve special ordered that truck like that if you could’ve in 2000s COPO all the way.
You were sitting two rows in front of me in the drivers meeting. I meant to come say hello but I was woofing down some pre race food. Excited to watch your video and wishing we could have lined up! See ya next time
@@LawrenceTolman sounds good. My brown C10 is sold I was in my stock Mach 1 (probably 425ish rwhp) I think you would have gotten me in your truck but it would have been a fun race. That audi was nuts!!!
Rooting for you man at LS fest and can't wait to see that footage! I really enjoy the geeky-ness of your vids as it strikes a cord....oh and that blower whine is awesome.
Great job LT. I have followed your builds since the start of the ugly truck seriously props to you you have done more in a couple years than I would dream to-do in like a decade or more
Looks sweet! Someone mentioned black the wheels and polish out the headlights. I agree. It really is sharp, love it. Hope it runs as good as it looks. Sounds awesome too!
Truck looks awesome!!! The orange color does make it stand out like highliter on a book. Hindsight, you could've swapped hoods with the 8.1 so you could get the hood you wanted on the stepside and have it wraped, but no biggie, a hood will turn up soon; you'll probably be able to locate one at LS Fest with all the people that you'll meet there. thumbs up and best of luck at LS Fest.
Excellent looking truck LT. Wraps have certainly come a long way in the past few years. All-in-all, I like what you've done with the project. I agree with you that it would be nice to own the Dura Max you and Jeremy built on the TV show.
LT I gotta say man I love the channel!! I am a mechanic and I have a million aspiration for all my trucks and getting to watch your channel is a twice a week treat for me!! I love the in depth stuff you explain (let's be honest tho most of the wiring is over my head) but with that being said you really help a person out. Love the truck and color hope you have a blast this week with it
I have a 07 Classic with a stock L59 and I was surprised by 2 things. 1. How noticeable the power gain was with E85. 2. How unbelievably bad the milage was. But even at 5.19 a gallon here in Washington state its well worth it 🇺🇲
Have an L59 in my Tahoe, the E85 difference is nuts. I have a tune as well and it really wakes the truck up! but like you said the mpg is horrible lol. Worth the power once and a while.
@@MeowTbss When I fill up with E85 my engine is happy. It may all be in my imagination but it just runs better and smoother on it. I do have to drive about 20 minutes out of my way to get it and it cost the same as 92 but its well worth it in my opinion. I wish I could tune it but im only familiar with the Diablo tuner and if you have a aftermarket radio or alarm the Diablo don't work. I'd love to add some timing but I can't 😞
The new color of COPO Truck looks really great. Orange is also my favorite color, a great color choice. The E85 is an awesome fuel, it's the perfect fuel for a turbo or supercharged car. My previous turbo car, no GM truck and no LS engine, but I changed it to E85 and it brought a huge more torque. I used RedLine E85 additive with fuel. It lubricates and protects the gas pump and nozzles, ethanol is a solvent and they suffer from a lack of lubrication over time. It also prevents bio-vegetation that is formed with biofuels into the fuel system. A separate E85 meter would be good. In my own car, I saw the ethanol content directly from my cell phone wirelessly. I don't think your 4L60E gearbox will last the torque you have in COPO Truck now. Just continue your great project, I look forward next to 4L80E mod.
I'm digging the new wrap. I love that color orange on that truck and the hood graphic is a nice touch. Can't wait to see what your times are on the strip with the E85. 💪
Several spots for flex in Vegas about 2 pretty close to the speedway. Murphy's on lossee and centennial and then there is a rebel on lake Mead. See ya out here !
ok LT noW that color pops those lines perfect , all that's missing now is a orange interior with a orange houndstooth seats with either gray or black on the rims you have on the stepside LT .
The truck looks awesome. My only suggestion in the looks department, although might be a little late, a small cowl induction hood. Like the 69 COPO Camaro and that black part on the hood should be on the cowl. Maybe the "Cowl Induction" emblem on either side of the cowl scoop like the 1970 Chevelle SS had. Just my 2 cents.
@@hcut2k4 I was thinking more back to the COPO Camaro. Just a small 2" cowl or so. It just always stuck in my mind when I think COPO. I think of the camaro with no badges or emblems. The only thing that really distinguished a COPO camaro from a base model was the cowl hood. The other option I was thinking was maybe the ZL1 hood that Streetconcept1 makes.
Torque Management and TCS are easy to back off just enough to not bog it down too much. Provides a great way to not burn up your stock trans currently.
As a die hard Cincinnati Bengals fan, all you need now are some tiger stripes… I know that’s not your style, but I’ve seen a lot of Bengal striped vehicles and that’s the first thing I thought of. The color is cool.
I have and use the same funnel! Love it. Anybody that has that funnel is a bad a$$. ;) Thanks for calling out who tuned it. I'm building an E85 specific 6.2L LSA with 10:1 compression, 10" lower pulley, 224/232 cam, ID1050x injectors for my boat. Need a place to do the calibration (tune), of which your build seems relatively close. Internet searching does not show too much references for peeps experienced with E85 LSA engines, and I don't want a beginner. Will reach out to Matt this week. I have HP Tuners, widebands, etc... to help flash, datalog, etc.....
The color is amazing. I think black wheels would take it to the next level.
Agreed.
Ya probably not a bad contrast
I think you guys are wrong
Black wheel with orange highlights.
LT- "honey, I'm using the CC again to order black wheels"
Wife- "can't you buy them used of FB?"
The color scheme is perfect for that truck. It looks great. They did a really good job on the wrap too.
Gm had that truck, in a fleet color orange, those years. You nailed it 👍
I remember the power company trucks in Maine where I grew up were pretty close to this shade

Btw, the rover orange is much better

Yes I've also seen 2002
More were ext cab
Great job on the wrap. The color and design are awesome. Some sort of dark gray on the wheels would look good too.

As the owner of a Twister Orange Mustang GT, I love the color 😍
I love that truck. The color, the supercharger whine, exhaust…simply great work. Thank you for keeping vehicle builds fun and interesting.
17:56 that look on your face! priceless! lovin the sound of the setup LT.
You knocked it out of the park with this wrap. I can hardly wait to see your runs from Vegas.

The sound of that blower gives me GOOSEBUMPS!!! 😍😍 Absolutely fantastic truck and exactly what I've always wanted to build but in a fleet side.
You can’t help but smile and get all giddy after a WOT pull with the LSA! It’s addicting for sure.
Wow, that color! Great build
The black inside the box looks awesome with the black bed caps and trim. It looks intensional. I agree the orange and black go great together. 👍😎
I love the expression on your face as your interning the freeway, you weren't expecting that! Lol E85 is awesome!!
How did I not realize you were from the 801? Lol that’s cool to see I I’ve supporting people from places I’m familiar with. Keep it up LT.
That's right the LSA really likes E85...fortunately I have E85 within 6 miles every direction and I see another being built even closer... Thanks for the information!

Bro before the ads are over I’m telling you I like the wrap! I’m gonna be like you when I grow up 😆

Thanks a bunch!

really cool to see this thing come together in the last few updates. Very sweet rig. Love the setup overall!
Wow, that is absolutely awesome! I've been thinking about making my 69 C10 AWD someday. Thank you for sharing one incredible build.
Would love to see this as an OBS blazer… the ultimate SUV it would be!
Wow, this thing is really making the turn. This build should be easily getting you over 100k subs‼️ That color rocks and great truck!
This supercharger upgrade was stellar dude I watched you do this from the start I'd love to do this on my 05 Sierra 5.3 L33
thanks! its a blast to drive, and easy to install. def worth it
Great job! She looks and runs better than new!
Rooting for you man at LS fest and can't wait to see that footage! I really enjoy the geeky-ness of your vids as it strikes a cord....oh and that blower whine is awesome.

hey thanks a ton! much appreciated, its a lot of work, but I do enjoy every minute of it
This is beautiful. I love the uniqueness of thr "copo" theme. Good work :)
love the color LT!
This e85 setup is exactly what im planning for my ls swap with a turbo to take advantage of it all... sweet wrap!
thanks!
My dad has a hugger (yes, not grabber) orange F-150 Boss 5.4L that looks very similar and came out around the same time. Great look for a sport truck!
