Richard the Crower Cam is a 62824 for my 4.6 4V. The cam card is on Crower site. So I put the engine together put silly puddy on #1 & 6 cyl. Set timing and with just test springs only turned it over by hand. I had a fat set of 0.062 gaskets for this test. I'm regretting I didn't get valve reliefs cut in my Carillo pistons. No damage but intake valves made the slightest contact on pistons. I pulled my Ferrea valves out checked no damage So pistons are getting valve reliefs.
Hey Rich! I'm from Australia as well. Absolutely love your videos. Not much out there online that tests like you. Thanks mate! Keep them pumping out please. LOVE EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should buy the RV 440 anyways because you always get new heads and different cams and intakes and heads anyway....plus you saved a V8 and any big block is awesome
Oh the nacl/salt water in the a/w is brilliant bro. Throw that ice in and use filter on the to cooler line, and you could get that water so damn cold. Like street drivability if you carried some salt and stopped every while for ice.
Why would you use salt water when regular ice melts when water freezes? If you want to go apeshit use methanol as your fluid medium and cool it with blocks of dry ice, you could get it down to -109f or so. I think using salt water is a recipe for disaster.
Richard, How about an ultimate truck SBC test? Take a junkyard 1996-2000 Vortec 350 engine, pull off the horrible factory injection unit, and put an L98 tuned port injection on it. There's companies that make a tune port manifold that will bolt to vortec heads. Maybe add a ZZ4 cam and voila, 350 Torque monster.

You should do a 351w build with Ls heads. There is a guy that did it a few weeks ago on his UA-cam channel but when he put turbos on it blew up. Be cool to watch you do a build like that and see how much power you can get and if it’s worth it
It's not worth it. Even if the ls heads are free it's still not worth it. Stock is heads are worse than basically all aftermarket aluminum Windsor heads. You can buy a set of edelbrock rpm heads off the shelf and bolt them on and make the same power with 0 fabrication. You need so many custom parts to get ls heads to work and they don't flow enough to make a sheet metal intake worth your time. It's a neat idea but not a good idea.
Been there, tested that. Everyone knows heat kills power. Which is why they dyno everything at 140-150° water temp. The warmer the coolant, the warmer the cylinder head. And the less power it can make before detonating. Every single time.
@@cobalt0681 lots of modified engines run at 150-160°F coolant temp. You want the oil temp up to 195-205°F to burn off all the impurities. But there's no benefit to getting the coolant that warm. Except emissions related stuff. I have a 160° thermostat in my V8. It runs around at 175-185°F.
Hey Richard I love your videos all the time.. I have a question for you in 1995 5.7 LT1 and the 1995 L99 are the camshafts the same and where do I find the numbers on th block to find which motor I have.. I bought a 95 chevy caprice and it had a 4.3 the guy said the motor was swapped for the 5.7 I just want to make sure which one I have. I bought a camshaft for a 95 5.7 LT1 so i need to make sure it will work.
I'd still like to see what kind of power curve you could get from a Ford 300 I6. A mild cam, some ring gap, and a turbo. I think decent power with a big torque curve could be had. Thanks in advance.
Richard Can you do a test or do you have an opinion about boost through a blow through carb with or without an intercooler. Also boost through a tbi injection system like Fitech, with or without an intercooler. Thanks
A couple of thoughts. Air/fuel ratio is meaningless if the spark plugs are the wrong heat range. I think chamber shape and size is just as important as port flow. Maybe even more. As far as power adders I believe nitrous is the best because it doesn’t add heat as long as the fuel curve is correct for nitrous introduction. Plus it’s easier to control power production.
Can you look at that card 4 degree advance is ground into those cams. I wont be able $$$ to put a blower on until later. So I want your opinion on how this will run NA and all that please and thanks
You have to eliminate or limit the phaser to cam the L99. But the most important thing is you need a non displacement on demand valvetrain and tuning oc. But do it, those are bad systems on these motors.
The modded LT5s out there are almost blasphemy, but they are so cool. Ported heads, cams, and headers on my 95 zr1 please. High $ injectors like ID are about consistency for your 1000+ hp engine. Spray mattern may be better and give ya .3 hp across for your 2 grand.

Oh the nacl/salt water in the a/w is brilliant bro. Throw that ice in and use filter on the to cooler line, and you could get that water so damn cold. Like street drivability if you carried some salt and stopped every while for ice.
You could also use antifreeze and cool it to sub-zero temps with dry ice or something similar.
Why would you use salt water when regular ice melts when water freezes? If you want to go apeshit use methanol as your fluid medium and cool it with blocks of dry ice, you could get it down to -109f or so. I think using salt water is a recipe for disaster.
@@timothybayliss6680 Hot salt brine. Rots the inside of the intercooler out, but you can grow Sea Monkeys (brine shrimp) in it.
SOLID PASS ON THE SALT WATER
No ones down for the salt? It was simply never something I had ever considered.
Richard,

My L31 Vortec intake works just fine after porting and the marine intake also worked very well. Close to 500 hp on E85 with the ported stock manifold.
500-HP L31?

You answered your own question when you said "when he put turbos on, it blew up". That means it's not worth the effort.

I have an idea for Big Bang. What effect does temp have on HP? Dyno at the following engine temps, 180, 200, 220, 240, 260!! Can it survive?
Been there, tested that. Everyone knows heat kills power. Which is why they dyno everything at 140-150° water temp. The warmer the coolant, the warmer the cylinder head. And the less power it can make before detonating. Every single time.
@@michaelallen2501 so they test in unrealistic conditions. No motor runs “normally” at 150. I feel your not looking at the bigger picture.
EVERY BOAT MOTOR ON THE LAKE WITHOUT A CLOSED SYSTEM RUNS AT 150 DEGREES OR LESS-WE DO IT BECAUSE IT ADDS A SAFETY WINDOW ON TUNING

Are you gonna do any engines with cut off counter weights to how much more they rev

@@richardholdener1727 I think the correct plug is as important.
Right on

THIS IS A 4.3l (GEN 2 lT1-BASED) L99-NOT THE LS VERSION
Depending on head design of course but sometimes smaller can be better.
Do you have problems with the optispark
WE DID NOT USE IT
Richard you need to see this. The Powernation guys are pulling your punk card.
SEE WHAT
Heads are ported and 3.75stroke so close to 5L now
the l99 is 3-inch with 3.736 bore
Thanks Richard for reading and commenting about my 4V. Puts my mind at ease.

High $ injectors like ID are about consistency for your 1000+ hp engine. Spray mattern may be better and give ya .3 hp across for your 2 grand.
How would a 114 LSA be NA
every lsa works, some just work better
Awe I missed it... =(
Talk talk talk.... don't runs? Actual pulls, equipment installation? Just like every other video. Yes, just my opinion.
MAYBE THE TITLE LET'S TALK THREW YOU OFF
