CAN CARBS COMPETE? 416 LS3 INTAKE TEST (pt2)

FULL DYNO RESULTS. MASSIVE LS3 INTAKE SHOOTOUT-10 INTAKES!!
Can any of the carbureted LS3 intakes compare to the factory LS3 EFI intake? Here in part 2, we compared 9 other carbureted intakes to the stock LS3 EFI intake on a 416 stroker equipped with AFR heads and BTR Stage 4 LS3 cam. Surely one of them can beat the stock manifold!

Well Richard, I must give GM credit. They really did their homework, when designing the ls3 intake. For the dollar per value and all around performance, hands down it can't be beat!

[Ugrasrava]

Gotta love that LS3 intake IMO. I don't think I've ever seen a motor that it *didn't* work pretty well on, and that kind of versatility is very attractive.

[AB-X]

Wow. That Super Vic LS 4500 intake is a really impressive LS single plane.
Imagine the Super Victor, a Dom 1150 and Mast 295 LS3 heads on a 447 with a CM Nitrous LLR cam + 250 shot = FAST!

AWSOME VIDEO, ABSOLUTLY LOVED IT. NOT EVERYONE LIKES FUEL INJECTION AND JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS TEST.

[StickShiftMuscle]

Best channel ever. Sorry engine Id rather watch this!

[ktmr]

Cool test!... Confirms what I have found with combos I’ve built for customers....
Would have loved to have seen the Holley hi ram with a pair of dominators though....

[rongravel]

Nice. I got the victor jr. for my build glad it’s a good one. And even better I got it for 50$ it’s the efi version too. And I got LS9 injectors for My old boss was cool as hell as you can tell. Lol Im building it to rev out past 7500 so hopefully it likes I think I did a decent job picking all the parts to do it. Should be together and running soon. Thanks for reinforcing my idea here Richard.

For what I do, 95% street in a very heavy car, LS3 Manifold for the win. GM Engineers obviously applied all that schooling into their designs. Very informative, Thanks Richard. Keep em coming.

[rotaxnut]

This is exactly what I wanted to know and a very well presented piece, many thanks for posting

[kennybiggs]

I love those carbureted combinations shows you watch you can get away with

[joeseda]

Shout out to you Richard! I have learned to truly appreciate the work you do to bring us this invaluable information. Thanks to you, I have been building some very stout and powerful engines using the information you have provided. I have done some mixing of different components and combos you have presented with exceptional results at local track. You have saved me a lot, lot, lot of time trying to figure out and guess what works or not. Very much appreciate all your hard work.

If I was going to drag race this motor N/A, I'd pick the Super Victor 4500 or the Stock LS3. If I want the best power for my dollar I'd most definitely pick the LS3 and test with a notch taller gear to make the best out of its mid-range punch. It sure looks like Chevy did its homework when they designed the LS! If I wasn't into Big Block Chevies I most definitely would look into the LS...or Hemi(I'm not stupid) to run my car. This has to be one of your top 5 (including part 1) videos! Great job Rich!

[miker]

Just want to let you know of all the dyno videos out their yours our the BEST thanks

The victor Jr is what all the racers ran in the 90’s my shift point was 7500 rpm so ya it would definitely outperform the EFI system that drops off at around 6500 rpm when I went through the trap at the quarter I was at 9200 rpm, and that cam to me is a mild cam, if your gonna drag race you wanna run a Holly carburetor and the new super victor intake

[joewindsor]

I have the trick flow single plain carb manifold on my LY6, the loss of torque down low isn’t a problem, I can barely keep the tires from spinning as it is 😂

[johnlewis]

I have a application where I need hood clearance. And i was looking into the duel plane manifolds. Glad to know they will work well for the "street" oriented LS that's going in the car.

[jessenorman]

Just started watching your channel recently. Love the content you’re putting out. Maybe you’ve already done this but have you tried the MSD Airforce intake? I had one on a C6 Z06 and that seemed to be the one that everyone swore by. It would be really cool to actually see a comparison between that and a factory LS7 intake.

[sabuno]

Cool comparison. I am curious to see all these intake tests on 5.3l
I run the carb performer RPM dual plane on mine but the single plane curve on this 6.0 is very interesting for my usage.

Another AWESOME video..THANK YOU RICHARD !!

[ryancivil]

You're a legend Richard! Thank you
