I've got a couple of short vids when I got it running but can't get them to load on here. My son has been trying to get me to make some and put them on ytube. Mabe soon I'll have a few.
That’s how you put them on here via YouTube. That’s the only reason I have a channel. Lol

First of all, you're paying way to much for engines.

Secondly, your goal of 500 hp N/A seems arbitrary, so, you could just say you have 500 hp for free. It's what everyone else does.

Third, to hit the goal, a junkyard LQ4 with L92 heads and a cam will blow right past it with ease. You're loloking at about 3500 all in on it.

Also, get the 4L60 idea right out of your head, I don't care if it's a stage eleventy or not, just forget it

I paid $550 for a used 5.3

I’d recommend just buying an entire donor vehicle

A 2wd wrecked Yukon is not expensive

And confuse the hell out of every ls enthusiast.

Especially since people like to point out aftermarket parts are uncommon and expensive.... And don't understand it's because they really don't need them lol.

The 500 HP seems pointless

I don’t see any scenario where you would be able to actually use much more than half that power without the rear tires breaking loose and spinning

I’ve got a stock 5.3 with 270k on it in my truck with 3.73 axle gears 35” tires and a NV3500 five speed and it’s plenty fast if you wind up the engine before you shift gears

One of these days I want to see these guys show the hours spent on each step, how long it took for sub-contracting jobs to get done and how much they spent on each step. Forget about the ad plugs.
No ad plugs no free parts.

I understand that but what about us WORKING folks?
Go buy the parts they get for free and try to attain their rediculous “corrected” claims.
