thanks for showing the weld on the reluctor wheel, appreciate it. looking forward to seeing that thing turn 9000
No problem man and so am I!
Love this guy he doesn’t hide shit about his car because he can drive his ass off
I know you have said but I can't find it what's the ring gap
Whatever factory plus 140k miles and 100+ passes at 1000+hp is lol. I never gapped the rings or checked them.
Oh, did you lose oil pressure on the launch with that old pan how do you fix it?
I didn't lose oil psi with the holley pan. Typically the fix for that is running 1qt over full. If that doesn't fix it you probably need a better pan. For example I've seen where 1qt extra won't fix the issue on like an f body pan. But never had an issue with the holley or the moroso pan doing that.
the LJMS sweater and wix filter was my sign that this is my people.....that and the 41 psi party mode haha! subbed
Thanks man! I got a big ljms banner too lol. Need John to get some FPP merch so I can rep it!
4th gen rods?
Yes sir it is an 05 motor so it has the stronger rods.
Good stuff man! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks man will do!
Another great video. Excited to see what if does this year!
Thanks man! Me too!
Keep em coming brotha! Loving the consistent content!
Thanks man!
Earned a sub, I could learn alot from you.
Thank you!
New subscriber here glad I hit the button love all the tech info thanks for putting out helpful content for us sbe guys trying to get my sbe 6.0 3300 lb monte carlo with a s476 to live and beat my personal slow best of 9.4 haha
That's not slow especially for a s476! Thanks for subscribing man and I'm glad you find it helpful!
@@SquirrelTuned i like seeing cool combos and people making them work also the progression of making the car faster. Mine went 11s the first time out made a converter swap and put a good arb under it made a huge difference. The 9.4 was with stock truck manifold on 93 with meth injection, 4l80 trans with no transbrake "sloppy 3rd gear spool mod lol"
Nice man I'm the same way, seeing the progress is the fun part. I've got another video on here showing my first time out. First pass was an 11 lol. That's impressive on pump and meth. I stay away from pump gas lol.
@@SquirrelTuned yeah I watched that video it i said to myself mine ran 11s too haha. We recently swapped the car over to e85 holley ecu and an air to water intercooler soon going to c02 boost control as well hoping to maybe crack an 8 before it dies 😄
@@92codman Should be no problem man! Good luck with it!
How long do these 4.8 last at that power level.
Like I mean how long
@@brandonpylant9349 I'll let everyone know when this one goes! I haven't killed one yet. It's got 200+ passes by now for sure.
That makes me happy
I need your tuning experience
Keep it up Jack! Making me want a project real bad lol
Thanks man! You probably wouldn't want one as bad if you seen the money leaving my account weekly. 😂
Hey man love the channel. Ive learned alot from your videos the past few days after i found it. I see you have the strange master using it for manual brakes. What kit did you use to mount it to the firewall? Only one i can find is the maximum motorsports version and it says its only compatible with the wilwood masters.
Thanks man! And I got the car as a roller and unfortunately don't know what one it is. The car does have wilwood front brakes though. Car isn't in my possession currently but I'll try to remember to check next time I'm by it.
@@SquirrelTuned cool man i appreciate it! Cant wait for an update on the new ride
Do you think this new car will be any lighter?
Yes sir I believe it will be a good bit lighter. No a2w which was 100+lbs. Old car was mild steel cage and all steel and glass other than hood. This one has mostly lexan, moly cage, carbon doors, and was built a little more with weight in mind.
@@SquirrelTuned Nice, are you going to run air to air or change fuel to methanol on this new setup? What's your goal on the continued push w/ the 4.8 now?
Methanol and no intercooler. Keeping goals to myself for now but they are pretty wild. Father into the 4s though focusing on 1/8 for now.
What number six filter are you running I noticed it is larger than factory
The oil filter is a wix 57502
@@SquirrelTuned thanks
Did u have windage tray on with new pan in video? I had to cut the sides of mine up Bc it was to wide. Or maybe Bc the pan is skinnier
I didnt actually but good info. Was just putting it on to test fitment in the engine bay. Didnt test fit it with the windage tray.
Squirrel Tuned let me know if u have to or not.
@@Onalky87 will be on video for sure when I get there.
First off thanks for all the info. Im very curious, what style heads are you going to run with on the new setup?
No problem man thanks for watching. I'll be running wilkes ported 862s.
I thought the motor was a Gen3 ? those are clearly Gen4 rods. (ADDED AFTER EDIT--->) After thinking about it for a sec, I guess it would only make sense that in 2005 when they went to a floating pin, that must have also been the introduction of the Gen4 rod, so that the last 2 years of the (05-06) Gen3 4.8 all got the Gen4 rods used in the 2007+ 4.8's. Either you knew what to look for, or you are the luckiest man alive when a 2004 bottom end could have easily spelled certain early death considering the levels that you are at with that bottom end. Good job my friend ;)
Yes sir some people call them the gen 3.5, I knew what I was looking for there are some signs to show they have gen 4 internals for example 13mm valley cover bolts and header bolts. And thank you!
Do you want to sell that summit damper?
Yes sir I would sell it.
Squirrel Tuned ,you want to shoot me a message through messenger?
@@patrickmansfield3967 You can message me on my fb page if you want or instagram. Both Squirrel Tuned.
