I have a ls1 . It made 443 on stock 853 heads with a 230/236 113 cam on throttle bodies.
I’m going with a refresh block, new ported 243’s and the Gm hot cam as I now have to pass emissions here in the U.K.

LS swapped firebird ?? 🔥🔥 Whewwww shitttt !!! You got great taste.. This reminds me of my old grand Am Gt soooo much.

[ajwilson]

425 ponies is my guess. Great video by the way!

About to start a similar build in a LS1 swap I'm doing to a 94 S10, going to watch these all

[justkyddingracing]

if you are thinking of porting the heads down the track kind of crazy not to do that before fitting the heads. sure budget may not allow right now but still better to wait till you have the funds than have to pull the heads again.

[jrochaws]

You should port and polish heads. Also get some Harland Sharp roller rockers. I have em on my 2000 ws6. I'm a new sub. I like your content. Been waiting on your next video on the obs. I have the same truck and I'm wanting to ls swap it.

Can't wait for you to make it big. I love your videos

[v.e.]

You chose the same cam as I plan on installing in my LS1. Just an FYI: a high volume oil pump will automatically raise your oil pressure, by pushing a larger volume of oil through the same/stock oiling system. How can you call this a "budget" build when you're using titanium retainers? If you would have gone w/ conical springs, you could have achieved the valve train weight savings you're after much cheaper. You would be shocked at the amount of HP (10-20 HP) available w/ some simple intake/exhaust bowl clean-up work. A full port-match job is beyond the ability or time of most folk.

My 02 Z28 is a low mileage cream puff. I drive it in the rain and will even drive it on a cold clear days in the winter. Does better in the snow than one might think.

I just picked up a pair of 243's off of a 08 Impala SS. Car had a massive head gasket failure. Car was nice can't believe it went to the yard over a head gasket.

It sounds good but just cam only tsp ms3 cam and the junk mid length headers made 398 hp to the wheels with long tubes ls6 intake it made 420 to the wheels if swapped the heads too it would have been alot more

[antoniogonzalez]

Nice what size of push rods did you used

[punkysable]

You should have went with a BTR stage 3 cam and a trunion upgrade. My guess is you will put down 400hp/387tq. With the cam I mentioned you would be a solid 425 if not more. My old 98 formula put down 385hp/379tq with a tick stage 3 cam, ls6 intake and long tube headers, stock injectors, heads and ported throttle body. Also when you go to get it tuned don't be surprised if you peg out the stock maf and it will need to be speed density tuned. I got a 2001 formula now and am going with the BTR stage 3 this time.

I have the same car with a 4L60E. Mine's a Formula. Only 88, 000 Km on it . Can't decide if I should just pull the motor this winter to do a cam and long tubes swap cuz it needs a pan gasket also. I also have an extra 5.3 LC9 with 243 heads that I could swap on but I think the 10.2 CR of the 241's is enough and the flow is not that much higher on the 243's. Are you doing long tubes on yours?

[scubasteve]

what are you doing with that c3? That thing looks amazing!

[EvansWS]

Wish you linked the parts below. Would’ve definitely earned a sub and like.

[jacobgilleo]

mines bone stock. just exhausted and tune. 330.5 to the wheel hp 370ft lb torque

[Bflo]

How are you bro!. I am go with you are going to make 430 HP.!

[ejcivicb]

Did you knock out a cam bearing on your high Mileage motor and in my opinion Texas speed is the way to go with cams and most other parts
