Thank you for all your hard work in this project. You have made real life examples in the difference of product on a Dyno not just what a manufacturer says! I know temp and elevation make a huge impact on numbers, so just the effort to show the difference in numbers is really impressive. Thank you again and please keep making awesome content!!!
Thanks I appreciate it. I can’t tell you how many times I have taken the mods on and off to make sure it’s not just in my head. lol I knew I felt a difference but I have a conscience and I wanted to make 100% sure that I saw gains by getting the Dyno numbers. I don’t want people spending their hard earned money on mods without getting the best facts I can get.
Now I know what upgrades I want next thank you for doing dyno comparisons it clears up any doubts I had. Keep up the great work and thank you for all the help. 👍🏼
I appreciate the time and expense you went to, to make this video. I think the most important thing I learned was that over all gains are not as important as where you make them in the RPM range. Nice work. Thanks again m8.
That's exactly what I learned through this process. Dyno's are mainly designed to help with tuning a vehicle. They will not always give you all the details of normal driving and where you may actually feel the gains.
Let me know how you like them. My suggestion is to install them individually a week apart to see the difference they make by themselves. Love to get your feedback.
So all in all, they are worth it lol thank you for taking the time and doing the research, I'm going to end up getting them for my truck. You do a video on the mpg increase if there is one, if you haven't already, I'm curious to see what's that's like lol
Thanks for watching! I would say they are worth it if you are not wanting to deal with the crazy cost of a tune. Chevy as made it so expensive to get the computer's unlocked by having to by all the stupid credits. The tech was telling me about a guy that spent close to $2000 just to get the computer ready to be tuned which is crazy cause it didn't even include the price of the tune and installing the Cam he put in it. I would love to do an MPG video, but I honestly have done short videos in the past giving my honest MPG gains but people like to insinuate I am making false claims, so I stopped giving my honest MPG claims.
@zachattackcustoms it's nice to know that it's actually worth it. I've heard from so many people over the years, that cai aren't worth the money. But from I've seen, it is. And I don't blame ya about the mpg videos. Thank you for all the great content. I love it, but I don't think my bank account will lmao 🤣 😂
Thanks for watching! Glad to do it, honestly don’t feel right showing off products like this without getting real data. Been wanting to do this one for a while.
Honestly, my goal has always been to gain back the power loss/sluggishness with getting a lift and bigger tires. These mods I feel have accomplished that goal. In my personal opinion, I think swapping to a 6.2 intake would only be most beneficial if you planned on getting aftermarket headers, cam, custom tune, etc. So now you are talking thousands. It can be a snowball effect on power gains, it all depends on how far you want to take it and how deep your pockets are.
My biggest performance add on"s that made the most gains was the Jett MAF sensor and the Jett throttle body Spacer. The Jett throttle body, cold air induction intake and stillen ram air seemed to feel less responsive. The LT Pulsar was a great aff on but didn't make much difference except for throttle response after the Spacer and maf sensor was installed
I have been hearing that throttle body spacers don't really do much with the newer vehicle's. That's mainly why I haven't added it. Jet actually doesn't even make the spacer for my year. What year is your truck, and do you think it really made a big difference?
Great video. I had to remove and send back my jet mas airflow sensor. Truck was dying at ideal while in park 😢 stock one back in for now and ya def notice a diff.
@@zachattackcustomsya otherwise I loved it and with the stock back in you can def feel the diff lol jet has a 2 year warranty so just waiting on them but ya keep your stock one near by just in case 😂
Question about your Jet power module. Not sure if there is a stage 1 and stage 2 available for the silverado's or not. Stage 2 is supposed to be for modified trucks with CAI, Exhaust, or headers. Do you have the stage 1 or 2 jett power module?
Stage 1 cause with the stage 2 it is highly recommended to run a low temp thermostat, and I didn’t want to change the running temp. There’s mixed reviews on changing to a low temp stat, but I am a believer in letting the truck run at the correct temp from factory.
Awesome video man, thanks for taking the time. When you were installing each mod for the test, you weren't taking the previous one back out were you? Meaning when you did the MAF, the CAI was still in the truck, right?
Correct I installed them in the order I originally installed them mainly because I don't think it would be beneficial to run the MAF and Throttle Body with the stock box. I would think you would need more air coming in. Don't quote me on this, but I am thinking the electronics in the MAF and the Throttle Body are programmed to read more air coming in allowing the computer to take that in to account, if that makes sense.
Have you thought about swapping out your intake manifold to the 6.2l? Sorry not sure if you have or not, this is the first video of yours that I’ve seen. I’ll definitely be doing some of these mods but I didn’t know if anybody had 5.3l dyno numbers with an upgraded manifold.
I haven't thought about doing that yet. My main goal was to gain back the power loss/sluggishness I got with the lift and tires and these modifications definitely helped.
The way the air travels to the box for the cold air inductions does not change. So if water were to potentially get in the air box, it would be the same as factory.
I’ve got the 6.2 and I’m less interested in HP and torque gains than I am in MPG. Any info in that regard? Everything I’ve got is bone stock, I’d just like for it to not hurt so much at the pump, ya know. 😂
The biggest component I noticed that helped with MPG was the cold air intake, but I am believer that you also need a less restrictive muffler. More air in needs a better way to get more air out. If you don’t want a loud muffler, I also noticed better fuel mileage with the Borla Pro XS universal muffler.
Sorry if it’s mentioned in the video but are you now sitting at 375hp with the 20hp gain from the products you installed. And what did the exhaust system add ?
Hard to say exactly what the Crank HP is because the bigger tires I have will also lower the HP to the wheel. So, if I had to guess, the engine HP is probably more than 375.
@@yoshibfc I would say with the bigger tires I lost at least 10hp to the wheel. Could possibly even be up to 20hp. I would check out this video to give you an idea. th-cam.com/video/vOb75j2nEn0/w-d-xo.html
If you want 370-380hp in the 5.3 all you have to do is instsll Long tube headers and a 93 octane tune. My buddy did that on his 21 Sliverado tuned by HP tuners. He got an average of 320 to the wheels which is 375hp to the crank. He plans next is cam and upgraded stall, 3400rpm stall and stage 4 cam. That probably gonna gain him around 100+ horsepower so itll pull his trucks hp rating between 450-475 hp which about the same as a stock camaro with 6.2 you just gotta spend your money on the right Mods and no BS Overprice CAI and throttle body.
@@zachattackcustoms exactly. And would the gains of the other mods be the same without the exhaust mod? No way to know unless you went back to stock exhaust and did it all again. That's a lot of money for 20hp.
@jeffhernandez5098 I would guess and say the exhaust helped out, but I would also say if you are someone even considering all these other mods, 9 times out of 10 they probably already have an aftermarket exhaust.
3:42 just to let everyone know, it leaned the truck out at wide open throttle. You're not going to see a fuel savings at wide open throttle. He's full of shit.
Yea, love them. Backing down the boat ramps is so much easier with the lower small mirrors being able to see the concrete sides with the wheel offset is great.

Awesome video Zack !! Hoping to start my RST project soon ! What’s next for your build? Headers /cam ?
I would love to do a cam, but it’s just so expensive to get the computer unlocked for tuning, maybe one day.
Do the LT2 intake manifold massive sound and responsiveness and power gain with the lt5 zr1 throttle body.

Can we feel 20hp? You smiled so I guess we can... I bet that was a fun day at the dyno shop
Honestly it was an awesome experience. And I would recommend anyone to try it out.
You should try swapping an l86 throttle body and manifold I heard it’s a direct bolt on and with noticeable results.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Nice video bud.
Thanks!
Wouldn't it be cheaper to get the 6.2? Almost 70 hp more for only 2k?
You could go that option and then add these mods for even more gains if you wanted.
I wonder if you leave the stock throttle body on, you would get better results from the other mods….
The stock throttle body was on when testing the cold air intake and mass air flow sensor.
So, seems you were correct with your butt dyno by saying in previous video that a CAI and MAF sensor seem to be the best combo
Yep, the numbers just helped out to clarify what I was feeling wasn’t just in my head and clarify I wasn’t just lying to the camera.😄
Hey man. How much will the cold air intake affect when its raining and driving through puddles?
The way the air travels to the box for the cold air inductions does not change. So if water were to potentially get in the air box, it would be the same as factory.
@@zachattackcustomsok cool thank you man
If you want power swap to a l86 I take manifold and lt5 throttle body
Thanks for the suggestion, may check into that!

@CANRAIl how much did he pay for the headers, the unlock, and the tune?
So what did all of the mods, including the exhaust cost? Curious to know the $$/hp number.
All 4 mods together would be $1300.
Can’t calculate the exhaust in to the mix cause my first Dyno was with the exhaust. So not sure the gains I got with the exhaust.

What brand of X pipe did you use? Part # if possible
Thanks
It was whatever they had at the muffler shop.
I wasn’t familiar with a performance mass airflow sensor. I may do these upgrades on my 6.2 and hope to see some gains like you.
They definitely made a difference.
