Oh yea, one more thing!!! You got yourself a new Sub! You're super upfront & forward with your learning curves! LOVE it! I will absolutely be your #1 follower from here on out!
Interesting build of your Camaro, mine is almost identical 408 LSX with FAST injection. I haven't ran it yet, but the previous owner has run 9's with pump gas + methanol. on 15#.
I would definitely like to do that at some point and make a whole video series. I'll try and put something like that together in the future. There is definitely a lot to wiring a car. I do plan on doing some small how to stuff on the inputs and output and pin map on the Holley
Love the vids man. Its nice seein people from Colorado! Got a junkyard 5.3 in my porsche 944. its been a pain but it should be ready to fire here in a couple months and i cant wait!
We just got done building a 2000 TA with a 5.3 we cut a bunch of weight out without doing and carbon or lexan. Got it down to 2750lbs with full interior. Did tube the front end but that's not to difficult to do.
@@BuildTuneRace Electric windows, Ttops. It is a aluminum block 5.3. Did removed the heat and AC. And gutted out the doors as far as the solid metal bars. Removed wiper's and motor. Just alot of small things that all added up. But it is possible to have streetable fbody that weighs 2750. We've done it!
Great overview of your build !! I'm just starting a Volvo 240 wagon, with an LS 5.3 truck motor. I'm also going single 78/75 turbo. Totally a junkyard type sleeper build. The goal is 10's for under 5 grand.. The 240 does come in on the lighter side at 2900 pounds surprisingly. I scored the 5.3 with a 4L80e trans for 200 bucks, and I got all the custom mounts for the motor, cross member, and 8.8 rearend mounts done for 450. I only paid 200 bucks for the wagon and sold the old red block for 200 bucks out of it.. So I'm off to a good start !!
@@1620GarageAndFarm oh yeah! Btw pls record some videos ! Do you have Instagram? Also I know that you will be able to run 9s easy not 10s how you think. That motor is so good and can handle so much
Man you should have WAY more subscribers youbare awesome. Love what you did with this fbody. I currently have a 97 lt1 fbody with a lt4 complete top end na setup. I seen you at cleetus n cars and subscribed right away and do not regret a single bit of it. Awesome content my guy!
How did you keep all the factory controls working while running the holley ecu? Such as door locks, windows, turn sugnals, and did you run the terminator or dominator?
I used a holley HP these cars have two different harness the engine harness and body harness. You swap the engine harness with the new Holley harness and leave the body harness in the car to run everything
Funny thing is I thought this video wouldn’t do great being a talking video bit seems like a lot of people enjoyed it and might have learned some stuff from it!
I got a lt1 with a blown head gasket at 98k miles car body is mint but had a lot of problems. Was going to build it up to 600hp over time but just won’t have time rather see it go to use selling it this weekend for $500
So you went with the Holley Terminator? Also I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time and telling us all of that information because that was definitely helpful! I am very interested in making my car a turbo car but I also want it to be A Streetcar! I also want to keep it a 6-speed car! But of course like everybody else in this game, I want to go as fast as I possibly can LOL... Money is an issue with me right now because we just had a house fire and I lost everything I've ever had in a mobile home that was uninsured! Starting from scratch is definitely not fun! But enough about that, I've got a 5-3 in a 99 hugger orange F body with a stage 2 built T56 there's a lot of stuff done to my car but it was built to be naturally aspirated when I bought the car. I have a 2004 Cadillac CTS that was given to me from a family member it is a 6-cylinder car automatic and it needs a transmission. I'm thinking about taking the 5.3 out of my Camaro and putting it in the Cadillac and making a fun little car for my wife to drive on the Street.. but as for my Camaro, I'm looking to find a lq4 and put a turbo on it. I do not know the first thing about turbos!? I'm sure I have a million and two questions to ask you lol.
Thanks for watching sorry to hear about the fire! I have the holley hp in my car which has some more options then the terminator x. The terminator x wasn't out when i built the car but it is a perfect starting ecu for a turbo 5.3 build!
Thank for your Videos I have 84 Camaro Z 28 that I got a junkyard 5.3 LS to go in it I want to turbo it what cheap turbo do you recommend I want to run the 1/4 mile I got Holly terminator X max for the tuning for the 5.3 I was planing on Using a summit turbo cam and pac 1218 spring and do you have video how to clean injectors ?
A s475 1.10 83mm exhaust is the turbo I used on my 5.3 and it did well! Lots of people are using the precision LS series 7675 with good luck! If you look back at the I dont want to melt another piston video i go over cleaning them there! Good luck with your build sounds like your on the right path!
Depends what you want to do. If your wanting to go turbo and turn it way up the 5.7 ls1 don't have the thickest cylinder walls so they are prone to cracking i think. (Google max boost ls1) but if you have it you could start with it then if you hurt it build a 5.3 6.0 or go fully built after you learn on that setup.
Forgot to mention that lol. I have a 3.90 gear but it's only good for a out 140ish mph in my combo so I bought a 3.50 gear to put in it if i want to go 1/4 mile race the car pr do a lot of street driving the 3.50 will help!
First turbo was a cast borg 88 96 with the 1.32 exhaust housing. The one that worked well on the 5.3 was a s475 1.10 83 and now it was a Billet Borg 88mm from Forced Inductions with the 1.32 96mm exhaust housing
Hi there, in building my 98 camaro, with on3 turbo and rear bmr drag package, the only issue I see is the differential, I’m using now a spool with 3.73 gear what is your setup and axles ?
Great Video, love Salty! I have a built 5.3 that is going in my 71 Nova, i think i will be going with an S475 as well, seems to be a great Turbo for the 5.3 combo! I already purchased a Dominator, holley injectors, smart coils & everything else, just need to finish the cage! Cant wait for race season!
Just a quick question.... When has it become ok to run any type of engine with out an air filter? I have observed this for a few years and I'm not understanding why this is the new trend? If you read any service manual! A small amount of dust/dirt will wear an engine down rapidly!
awesome Camaro my Camaro is also turbo on a 76mm Huron turbo Im also on e85 I've noticed on full throttle its at 15.3 is that bad where should my air fuel ratio be around full throttle also my idle air fuel ratio is around high 10 to 11.i always let my car sit with full tank of e85 for like 2 week does that matter. thank you
You're going to pop that engine. Your wot needs to be in the 11s most likely and your idle needs to be at a 14.7 or slightly higher. I highly recommend you go to a known ls-turbo tuner
@@BuildTuneRace stock rod and piston Lq9 rebuilt with clevite bearing and total seal rings, huron truck manifold kit, on3 78/75 turbo, 450 fuel pump, quick performence fab 9, stage 2 t56, self tuned on hp tuners, Fuel is e50, thats about it, fun street car.
I think it would be especially if its a 6 spd car. Add heads cam and you'll be there pretty easy. If its a auto car the 4l60s dont last forever when you start making a bunch of power but still would work well!
Honestly I cant remember what micron filter I ended up getting I think it was a pretty good one went with what others recommend at the time for E85. Number 6 is the cylinder it hurt. After that I took out the injectors had them cleaned and that's the one that was alot more down then the rest since I've been running ethonal guard from VP and has seemed to deff help. I still clean the injectors before each season now!
@@BuildTuneRace Injector dynamics has a good tech article on fuel system filtration on their support page. With e85 you should be using a 10 micron microglass filter. Most stainless filter will not suffice and clog injectors.
lots of information I'm actually in the planning stage on a 1982 - 1992 F-Body 5.3 setup myself will be referencing a lot of the info you just gave because i dunno wtf I'm doing haha
Co2 for the electronic boost controller so you can put compressed air on top of the wastegate to control boost. This can also be done a few other ways but Co2 definitely seems to be the best!
how does the moser fit? trying to make up mind on a 9 inch for my m6 car, hard to swing over 4k for a full fab'd. i'd be thrilled to get into 10's, seems that setup works well enough. any issues/complaints with it? thanks. awesome ride btw.
It works awesome! Zero issues I've have probably 3-400 hits on the rear end. If I did it again I would probably have it build narrower to fit a normal offset wheel.
It's not bad around town. Not having overdrive and a 3.90 rear gear and a 28in tire isn't the best on the highway. If it had 3.50 or probably 3.25 in the rear it would be alot better at 65+
Hey, do you have a video that explains how to determine where timing should be on high boost using Holley? I actually have a dragbike Hayabusa, 500hp 25-30 boost. Everyone just say at least 10 degrees out, but how do I determine whats right?
I don't and timing is very difficult it's not a once number fits all. Alot goes into timing. Compression, fuel, boost ect. Best way is to start conservative on everything boost afr timing and work your way up watching afr and plugs!
Hey man great video I’m going to do the truck header idea did you have any clearance issues with the motor mounts in the way of the stock header? I see in the video you went around the alternator any issues there? And I’m going to assume you have no a/c on the other side
The original build including car engine Ford 9in rear suspension ect was probably right around $18K since then with the 408 bigger turbo ect is probably around 30k
What age do you run with the meth and what kind of timing do you run with the meth And how much timing do you pull when you intake temperature go to high and temp do you start to pull timing?
So with this setup I treat the meth like an intercooler. So I tune it like the car has a air to air intercooler not so much any changes for meth since I’m only using the meth to cool the intake temps. Afr at 20psi of boost is around 11.2-11.4 temps above 175 I start to pull 1* of timing around 250* it will pull around 4-5 degrees.
This video was amazing man. Got any advice on kind of jumping in to building a car? I bought a 79 notch foxbody and I got no clue what I'm doing when it comes to the big stuff like engine swaps and stuff like that.
@@BuildTuneRace either 5.3 or 6.0 if I'm able To. I heard it was a fairly easy swap but I Idk if that counts as easy to somebody with little to no experience.
Would have been better if you focused more on how you got into the tens with the 5.3. You said the turbo and torque converter but didn’t hear what model turbo.
I got the bottle and bracket from jerry bickel but Motion Raceworks has a nice one now with a billet roll cage mount regulator fittings everything similar to my set up. The boost control solenoids are Holley efi.
U should revamp that boost control. As soon as u let go of the button it should go to your target boost. No ramp And your target boost on tbrake is set in the boost icf. Not on the boost time table.
Nice car...bud. I wish would have just brought a 9”. My 8.8 is great but for the money I got in it could have just brought one🤷🏾♂️. Oh well live and learn.
@@BuildTuneRace I got the 5.3 last year. But had over heating problems. And problems with 4l80e blowing the fuse when Tbrakes active. ( found a power wire that was not tie and was touching the pan.and shorting out). My goal is 9s this year.
Damn throw some rc comp wheels and black hockey stripes on yours we would have twins my cars name is Heisenberg aka Walter White my hockey stripes have little Heisenberg's all in them and a big sticker on the back window. I had a super low mile 07 4.8 sbe with PRC stage 2.5 ls6 heads,Summit aluminum intake and 90mm TB and rails and some 120 pound FIC injectors, arp head studs and rod bolts a LJMS cam and pac springs and comp pushrods & BTR trunion upgrade that's about it for the motor its got a Huron speed v3 single kit with a VS billet 78/75 with the 4.8 and a 50 shot of nitrous and alot of ignite red fuel I love that stuff, its got a stock case th400 with good stuff in it and a pro brake fleet pride big truck shop made my drive shaft and I went with a strange 12 bolt rear end 3.90 gear with a spool I got almost all BMR suspension pieces and k member and double adjustable Viking shocks and TRZ anti roll bar out back and some Lakewood 90/10's lol and TRZ tie downs up front. I'm running the Holley HP system and co2 kit from motion raceworks . I only run 1/8 mile it was a N/t and grudge car but after I popped the 4.8 and told what it was running no body believed it was a sbe 4.8 in a 3200 pound skreet car. The best that set up went was a 5.61 @ 127 mph it basically has a full interior just not past the front seats we fabbed up a hoop and door bars so from 30 foot the track pops see kirkeys with harness and door bars with the doors open and most of the time they don't give me no shit but hell at my two home tracks you could jb weld your seat in and use rubber bands for a seat belt and run 4.50's they dont care gotta love living in the middle of know where in Alabama but I have been putting together a ls1 stock ci just a forged rotating assembly from Texas speed and good stuff in it with the top end off the 4.8 for like a year and just got it finished about 4 months ago and new converter and VS billet 88 in it and haven't got it right yet gremlins and getting the suspension dialed back in. I feel like kicking my self in the ass for not swapping to a glide the 4.8 needed that first gear now it seems like I'm shifting right after I let go of the brake. I got vids and pics on my Facebook and insta I want to make TH-cam videos but I hate being on camera and hate being on camera and talking worse lol
What stall would you do? I race sand drag racing I’m new to asphalt racing. And I love how involved you are with the Holley efi systems. Have you use the terminator X yet?
@@jordanh1313 What is your combo? If turbo just call PTC and they will build you a converter for your combo! Turbo converters flash more with the more boost they build. I have played with a few Terminator X systems they work awesome!
It’s going to have the summit racing s475 on it controlled by the Holley terminator X. Trying to figure out how the built in boost control works and how to do a co2 set up. Thank you for answering my questions btw
Nice you'll get it definitely give ptc a call with all the info and the converter will be 👌. Follow Holley boost control instructions and you shouldn't have a problem!
For about $10 an injector I would clean them before you start trying to make a bunch of power. If the car is driven daily not as much to worry about bit E sitting is not good!
wow glad i stumbled across your channel. im starting to build my 88 silverado and been researching alot maybe we can message each other so i can pick your brain
I Subscribed for more vids. I love some F body’s Check out my sloppy ass build on my channel. Wish my car is as nice as yours, one day though. I may have missed it, but which Holley are you running ? I still on the stock PCM thinking about switching.
Since your out in Colorado hook up with Boosted Boiz I know you guys make different content but they are car guys too or hook up with SuicideCRX and his boy with the turbo LS Nissan truck and race them then go to the east coast and pick on guitarmaggedonzl1 and Streetspeed717 and Send It Steve then go to John Doc and race one of his projects then Cleetus if you beat his car Ruby then he might give you a crack at Leroy but I'm just throwing idea's out there so you can build up your audience if you collab with some of these people and do meet and greets or race events or grudge race them then you can get your audience up and start making revenue on your content
I need to talk to Kyle from Boosted Boiz and Brent from PFI. I know Derrek with the Nissan pretty good we have raced a few times! John Doc and Garrett/Cleetus is definitely a ways away but would be cool to collaborate with then at some point. Excited to hang out with those guys during Raceweek! Should be a fun year!
dude! you went 10s at bandimere? thats like a low 9 sec car at sea level....and you MPH was awesome too....man, you have a fast car....bring that bad boy down to sea level and see what it does....plus too y'all have shitty gas in Colorado.....go to Texas
So I just clicked on this video based on the full throttle thumb nail. Like, where is that action? I wanted to see a car screaming! Instead I see an educational video about what you've done to your car. Yawn, this is the definition of click bait!

Co2 for the electronic boost controller so you can put compressed air on top of the wastegate to control boost. This can also be done a few other ways but Co2 definitely seems to be the best!
how does the moser fit? trying to make up mind on a 9 inch for my m6 car, hard to swing over 4k for a full fab'd. i'd be thrilled to get into 10's, seems that setup works well enough. any issues/complaints with it? thanks. awesome ride btw.
It works awesome! Zero issues I've have probably 3-400 hits on the rear end. If I did it again I would probably have it build narrower to fit a normal offset wheel.
What Holley EFI system are you running?
The Holley HP
How you like the power glide for regular street driving?
It's not bad around town. Not having overdrive and a 3.90 rear gear and a 28in tire isn't the best on the highway. If it had 3.50 or probably 3.25 in the rear it would be alot better at 65+
Hey, do you have a video that explains how to determine where timing should be on high boost using Holley? I actually have a dragbike Hayabusa, 500hp 25-30 boost. Everyone just say at least 10 degrees out, but how do I determine whats right?
I don't and timing is very difficult it's not a once number fits all. Alot goes into timing. Compression, fuel, boost ect. Best way is to start conservative on everything boost afr timing and work your way up watching afr and plugs!
How much power would you say it takes to get your car in the 5s, in the 8th mile?
My car has been 5.63 at 125 i figure that was around 1100hp probably takes 900ish to go high 5's at that weight
@@BuildTuneRace awesome thanks for the quick reply. Been subscribed for a while and watch all your videos, keep up the good work
Thanks man! Appreciate the support!👊
that rearend is super nice.
Thanks for watching it's definitely a nice piece! Not very cheap lol
Thanks for the information. What block is the 408?
Thanks for watching! The block is a Gen 3 6.0 Lq4 iron block.
Which trick flow heads part number?
Trick flow 220s
Where did you get that dash cover?
I just got it off a Ebay I think! It's been a few years since i got it but pretty sure it was off ebay.
Hey love your Camaro. I got a 95 Z28. How much did it roughly cost to build your set up?
With the 5.3 approximately 20k with the for 8 approximately 30k
What holley system do you have and how much is it?
What rear wheel and tire combo do you run?
15x10 7.5BS with a mickey 275 Pro Drag Radial
Do you think that would fit under a 89 Camaro??
@@jordanh1313 not sure about 3rd gens. This even took some clearancing of the inner fender and cut off the bump stops to get these to clear
Would a 28x10.5 tire fit a 15x8 wheel??
Bro. Are you in Colorado? I am trying to build this exact thing.
Yeah I live in Pueblo! That's awesome!
Build Tune Race hell ya dude. I’ll hopefully be at Pueblo or ppir no preps this summer. I’ll be in a white notchback.
Hey man great video I’m going to do the truck header idea did you have any clearance issues with the motor mounts in the way of the stock header? I see in the video you went around the alternator any issues there? And I’m going to assume you have no a/c on the other side
Thanks! No clearance issues with the motor mounts and yeah doing the Vbands made going around the alternator easy. Also yeah no AC.
Ya I'm building something very similar thanks for the advice appreciated very much you could be saving me some money.
Very informative and interesting video. New subber.
Thanks for watching!
What’s the 1st gear ratio and rear end ratio?
Stock 1.76 in the powerglide and right now the car has 3.90 gears going to probably go to 3.50 in the future for 1/4 mile racing!
First off what part of Colorado are y'all from. Would love to pick y'alls brain with turbo ls in a Camaro
We are I'm Pueblo West!
Well hell I may need to really get ahold of y'all then. I'm only an hour or so east
Sounds good!
Just curious but with the stock 5.3 how much money did it take to get the car up and running? And how much do you have in it total today?
The original build including car engine Ford 9in rear suspension ect was probably right around $18K since then with the 408 bigger turbo ect is probably around 30k
Those numbers might be alittle high and some stuff could be done cheaper but that's a pretty good estimate from numbers I've put together
Build Tune Race not that bad! Just curious as for comparison. Thanks and god speed!
Thank you!
How much was the roller?
If I remember right I gave $1300 for it
Which TF heads are you running?
Trick flow 220s!
Build Tune Race stock 220s or ported?
@@BuildTuneRace ls1 or ls2 version?
@@dallasjohnson208 ls1 cathedral port!
@@dallasjohnson208 only the 215s are designed around a 3.9" bore. The 220s and 225s are a 4"
What age do you run with the meth and what kind of timing do you run with the meth And how much timing do you pull when you intake temperature go to high and temp do you start to pull timing?
So with this setup I treat the meth like an intercooler. So I tune it like the car has a air to air intercooler not so much any changes for meth since I’m only using the meth to cool the intake temps. Afr at 20psi of boost is around 11.2-11.4 temps above 175 I start to pull 1* of timing around 250* it will pull around 4-5 degrees.
Age = aft Damn iPhone auto correct
Afr
Do you have the holly dominator or??
Holley HP
This video was amazing man. Got any advice on kind of jumping in to building a car? I bought a 79 notch foxbody and I got no clue what I'm doing when it comes to the big stuff like engine swaps and stuff like that.
What kind of engine or combo are you leaning towards?
@@BuildTuneRace either 5.3 or 6.0 if I'm able To. I heard it was a fairly easy swap but I Idk if that counts as easy to somebody with little to no experience.
Sounds like a nice combo. Would a swap into a 95 be much more difficult?
Would have been better if you focused more on how you got into the tens with the 5.3. You said the turbo and torque converter but didn’t hear what model turbo.
The turbo was a Borg Warner s475 1.10 83mm exhaust on 17lbs of boost! 2step set at 3800rpm left on about 7 lbs of boost went 1.5X to the 60 ft
Thanks for the info!
Your welcome!
How much do you think you have invested in Salty?
I figure if I had to duplicate the car it would cost about $27-30k
C02 setup? From who?
I got the bottle and bracket from jerry bickel but Motion Raceworks has a nice one now with a billet roll cage mount regulator fittings everything similar to my set up. The boost control solenoids are Holley efi.
@@BuildTuneRace thanks! Good video. Awesome job on the car!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Who tunes your camaro
I do😁
motionauto sent me here!!
Thanks for taking some time to check my videos out! Trevor is an awesome dude! Hope to collaborate with him some this summer!
Build Tune Race we will be waiting
Can you do a video of your CO2 system?
Definitely just the setup and plumbing? Or ecu stuff as well?
Build Tune Race Both! I’m very interested in it but can’t find much info, unless I’m not looking hard enough lol Love your videos btw!
@@BuildTuneRace Did you ever get a chance to make the CO2 video?
@@nickmellon972 i have not. I'll try to shoot one this next week. Planning on doing a few things with the Camaro before the end of the season!
U should revamp that boost control. As soon as u let go of the button it should go to your target boost. No ramp
And your target boost on tbrake is set in the boost icf. Not on the boost time table.
Do you watch Richard holdener? If not do it, he's dyno testing tons of LS stuff and shows results, might be an advantage for you
Good job man.....
Thanks Jesse!
Nice car...bud. I wish would have just brought a 9”. My 8.8 is great but for the money I got in it could have just brought one🤷🏾♂️. Oh well live and learn.
I love you car man.
Thank you!!!
Lmaoo. Your build remind me of my g35 ls1 build... but I ran a 14.0 Lmaoo. I had problems too. But it was with a 4.8 tho.. got a 5.3 now
I've always liked g35's an ls swapped one would be sick! How fast has it been so far? Or did you just get the 5.3 in?
@@BuildTuneRace I got the 5.3 last year. But had over heating problems. And problems with 4l80e blowing the fuse when Tbrakes active. ( found a power wire that was not tie and was touching the pan.and shorting out). My goal is 9s this year.
Damn throw some rc comp wheels and black hockey stripes on yours we would have twins my cars name is Heisenberg aka Walter White my hockey stripes have little Heisenberg's all in them and a big sticker on the back window. I had a super low mile 07 4.8 sbe with PRC stage 2.5 ls6 heads,Summit aluminum intake and 90mm TB and rails and some 120 pound FIC injectors, arp head studs and rod bolts a LJMS cam and pac springs and comp pushrods & BTR trunion upgrade that's about it for the motor its got a Huron speed v3 single kit with a VS billet 78/75 with the 4.8 and a 50 shot of nitrous and alot of ignite red fuel I love that stuff, its got a stock case th400 with good stuff in it and a pro brake fleet pride big truck shop made my drive shaft and I went with a strange 12 bolt rear end 3.90 gear with a spool I got almost all BMR suspension pieces and k member and double adjustable Viking shocks and TRZ anti roll bar out back and some Lakewood 90/10's lol and TRZ tie downs up front. I'm running the Holley HP system and co2 kit from motion raceworks . I only run 1/8 mile it was a N/t and grudge car but after I popped the 4.8 and told what it was running no body believed it was a sbe 4.8 in a 3200 pound skreet car. The best that set up went was a 5.61 @ 127 mph it basically has a full interior just not past the front seats we fabbed up a hoop and door bars so from 30 foot the track pops see kirkeys with harness and door bars with the doors open and most of the time they don't give me no shit but hell at my two home tracks you could jb weld your seat in and use rubber bands for a seat belt and run 4.50's they dont care gotta love living in the middle of know where in Alabama but I have been putting together a ls1 stock ci just a forged rotating assembly from Texas speed and good stuff in it with the top end off the 4.8 for like a year and just got it finished about 4 months ago and new converter and VS billet 88 in it and haven't got it right yet gremlins and getting the suspension dialed back in. I feel like kicking my self in the ass for not swapping to a glide the 4.8 needed that first gear now it seems like I'm shifting right after I let go of the brake. I got vids and pics on my Facebook and insta I want to make TH-cam videos but I hate being on camera and hate being on camera and talking worse lol
Hey man you should get in touch with matt from sloppy he will probably help you with anything turbo ls.
What converter do you use? And awesome video
Thanks Jordan! I have a 9.5in PTC Converter!
What stall would you do? I race sand drag racing I’m new to asphalt racing. And I love how involved you are with the Holley efi systems. Have you use the terminator X yet?
@@jordanh1313 What is your combo? If turbo just call PTC and they will build you a converter for your combo! Turbo converters flash more with the more boost they build. I have played with a few Terminator X systems they work awesome!
It’s going to have the summit racing s475 on it controlled by the Holley terminator X. Trying to figure out how the built in boost control works and how to do a co2 set up. Thank you for answering my questions btw
Nice you'll get it definitely give ptc a call with all the info and the converter will be 👌. Follow Holley boost control instructions and you shouldn't have a problem!
What Holly EFI setup did you use for the 5.3? Part number?
550-602 it's the same harness and ecu on the 408 as well currently
You’ve got me scared about my injectors now. Car has been sitting with e85 in the rails that’s about 6 months old
For about $10 an injector I would clean them before you start trying to make a bunch of power. If the car is driven daily not as much to worry about bit E sitting is not good!
Build Tune Race Fic wants $25 per injector for cleaning. Hopefully I can find someone local who’s cheaper. Just another thing to add to the list lol
You can visit my website I clean them for $10 an injector and $8 for return shipping g
Buy an ultrasonic bath. We run meth in our cars and it gums up a system quick.

Don't feel bad about a 15 sec time, I ran a 15.5 at 95mph with an rb26dett swapped s14. And it was expensive.
It happens! lol
Y’all talking 1/4 right or 1/8 ?

I Subscribed for more vids. I love some F body’s Check out my sloppy ass build on my channel. Wish my car is as nice as yours, one day though. I may have missed it, but which Holley are you running ? I still on the stock PCM thinking about switching.
You need to get up with Cleetus McFarland or John Doc and you'll need to get some races going and your boy with the blue 64 Chevy 2 Nova
The blue nova would be a killer race for sure streetcar vs pro mod 😂
I have to subscribe to you just because
Thanks! I appreciate the support!
Since your out in Colorado hook up with Boosted Boiz I know you guys make different content but they are car guys too or hook up with SuicideCRX and his boy with the turbo LS Nissan truck and race them then go to the east coast and pick on guitarmaggedonzl1 and Streetspeed717 and Send It Steve then go to John Doc and race one of his projects then Cleetus if you beat his car Ruby then he might give you a crack at Leroy but I'm just throwing idea's out there so you can build up your audience if you collab with some of these people and do meet and greets or race events or grudge race them then you can get your audience up and start making revenue on your content
I need to talk to Kyle from Boosted Boiz and Brent from PFI. I know Derrek with the Nissan pretty good we have raced a few times! John Doc and Garrett/Cleetus is definitely a ways away but would be cool to collaborate with then at some point. Excited to hang out with those guys during Raceweek! Should be a fun year!
*buddy’s*
not to mention the mile high air
dude! you went 10s at bandimere? thats like a low 9 sec car at sea level....and you MPH was awesome too....man, you have a fast car....bring that bad boy down to sea level and see what it does....plus too y'all have shitty gas in Colorado.....go to Texas
Thanks! With the new combo its been 5.60's in the 1/8 and high 8s in the quarter!
Damn, "saving" weight and still 3600#?!?! Haha wow
The struggle is real😂
Why is it that every used LS engine has "120,000" miles lol
Because that’s when owners think all the magic is out
Maybe that's when all the stock trans give up and people part them out🤷♂️ honestly I'm not sure but they seem to work well at that point 😂
So I just clicked on this video based on the full throttle thumb nail. Like, where is that action? I wanted to see a car screaming! Instead I see an educational video about what you've done to your car. Yawn, this is the definition of click bait!
Lots of racing videos on the channel!
Talk to much dude !!!!!
