nice camaro and i love the wheels on it only question i have is why a 4.8 and not a 5.7 LS1? is it just because it was already built in your truck or something else?
well the 4.8 idea is cause i had it. ls1s cost money 4.8s are next to nothing and work just as well if not better for high PSI. however the 4.8 that was used in the truck is becoming a different motor for the truck once again. camaro will get some type of shortblock

Nice. you are becoming a turbo head quik
I would love some boost. Keep us posted. I have see your car on trubomustangs before
thanks, i do like doing these builds. Boost is unlike any other combo out there. the never ending pull is something that cant be beat. I love NA but boost is just godly.
speak up on turboforums

i see the blue oil feed connectors. lol
tat isnt the oil feed you see
-
Got me for a minute. I was going to ask WHY. Interesting thought nontheless. More on the Camaro please
-
going work on a badass compound boost setup. twin 62s up front and 88mm in the rear :wiggle:
not actually twins are for the silverado and the 88 is going in camaro
-
trickflow makes a set of heads specfically for the 4.8/5.3 motors those with a fast should be a stout combo

It wasn't a jab, it was a response. As for anything to do with the post I could really care less. This isn't PT.net and I can post on the topic at hand or respond to someone. I agree that a custom camshaft for his application would be the best way to go. The LS6 cam however does work very well with turbo applications due to it's tight profile. Commonly the turbo applications make more power with a reverse split, but the spool is faster with a standard exhaust heavy split. Without having to get fancy with picking a camshaft an LS6 cam could be ran and make big power with a great idle and excellent vacuum. My point to you is that a dyno number isn't all there is to camshaft choice as you were making your 700RWHP 4.8L appear for your example. It's a great number, yes. The big camshaft theory still applies since a cam that big with a 4.8L and a turbo makes for great power if you can keep it in it's powerband and keep the boost up (once you get boost up). Keep up the work you've been doing as it's looking to be fun. Hopefully you'll get the results you want more than just on the dyno.
cam preference is all in the person as for what is actually large and what isnt. the old setup had plenty of power just the powerband was higher then what most would prefer to have.
to inform you on how you stated how easy it is to get a nbs into the 10s. DJM 4" drop doesnt work with caltrax, so not an option, wasnt going to swap out shocks just for a ET since its more of a overall street truck then a strip. Clutches for 4700lb trucks are nonexistant for any kind of power but toss in the mix of shifting at 7500-7600 makes mass even harder to deal with. then you have gearing and a higher gear isnt always best for turbo setups as some state. so with all that beind spoke on it goes directly in relation to suspension, gearing and driveline being ideal for the combo. You just cant sit there and make the bold statement as you did since it doesnt apply to everyone.
and im sure you like jabs at ppl so to inform you never made a pass at 700rwhp however at 12-13 psi i trapped 122. got best 12.1 and nothing better then 2.2 cause of clutch issues. this combo was removed from truck and the 88mm is going into the camaro, a set of twin 62s are going in the silverado for more of a tow setup. so to you and the rest of the internet greats need to know all facts before you make a statment
so with that all being said you dont have to be afraid of a larger cam when using it in boosted setups
-
10's in the NBS Silverado doesn't take a fancy suspension. A set of Cal Trac's (or similar) and good shock's with a sticky tire has been enough for 1.4 60's. As for gearing, after spending enough to make 700RWHP $200 for the right gear isn't out of the question. The rest of the driveline should be enough I'd assume or you've wasted your time making 700RWHP unless you were only planning to race the truck on the street in roll on races.
nice way to try and make a jab at me.
however your little jab has nothing to do with the OP's post. -
and those vehicles listed above all peaked early as i stated. does it work? yes, do other cams work? yes. is the LS6 the almighty of boosted cams not even close but it does work if you want an early peaking setup that drops off drastically. gear the setup so its in your favor for that rpm range
but if your going to crack open the motor to install a cam get one that is better suited for your application
Making over 700RWHP if you cam worked for you I'd assume you also ran well into the low 10's? Cam selection with a turbo isn't just about how much power it can put down. Spool time is a big concern when it comes to cam selection with a turbo. Too big of a cam with a turbo car/truck nets you a big mph at the big end and a much slower time than that level of power should be capable of.never tried for 10s, driveline, suspension, gearing play a huge role in how a vehicle 1320's not just power
-
when used in boost the LS6 cam peaks at 5500 and drastically drops off at 5800 like it hit a brick wall. So with that being said you can make power with a stock cam but a cam better suited to the build will make the combo perform like its intended to.
however i guess the whole big cams dont work theory doesnt apply to my setup. a 4.8 with a 230/236 cam on 14 psi made a few ponies shy of 700 rwhp. on a super rich 16psi did 702...
properly sized cam for the rpm range the turbo breathes will really shine
-
you always have huge cams
im running the same duration in my 427 fwiw. mine does have 61x lift though.
i hope you would have more lift with those bad ass TFS heads that flow so well compared to stock.
-
get a cam that matches the RPM band you want to run in. the turbo will still do its job
i ran a cam larger then most run, i made more power then most do and i did it with a much smaller motor then the rest
230/236

You shouldn't be running out of fuel at 9 psi and an 8.8 cr, with a walbro and 60# injectors... especially if you are also using meth. I am at 9.5cr forged 370, 60#injectors and fuel pump and still have pleanty of fuel at 10psi... only 70%IDC and at 12psi I run about 78% IDC and at 15 psi i am close to 100%... that is all from my logs. running 11.24 afr commanded and seen on my wideband o2 sensor
i ran out of pump with 60s and a single 255 at 9 psi. this was on a 4.8 at 8.8cr but at 9psi i was also 560 rwhp
lol tell that to the truck...8psi 10.0 afr no meth it made 470...walbro 255's are only good to about 600hp...going through the stall and th400 with 20's kills some of my power.Fuel is no longer a problem, i put a bosch 044 pump inline and from there i ran -8an lines to "Y" into each fuel rail, then from there exits the rail into a Aeromotive FPR and a -6an return line back to the tank...i have seen 20psi with 10.3 AFR and meth...no worries about fuel anymore.....
I have learned you cant base on truck off another...to many variables in things...my pnp heads...vic intake and other small things help the setup make the power with less boost...whats you setup...turbo size etc...?
virgil is correct. cant compare any setup to another since there are to many variables.
nice base numbers virgil

the cable is the part that matters. what you have on your computer is worthless to be honest. you cant just simply borrow their cable. you need their serial number and application key. plus that person will need to buy credits for your brothers vehicle unless he has a full year unlocked

im modded and on spray i rev to 6300 and am willing to give up a little tq for hp do to the fact i roll race the truck sometimes, i also plan on a cam, rockers and spring upgrade next so i am willing to take the chance on this intake, plus i dont have to change any acc for this intake that was one of the big selling points not to mention it looks bad ass i hate the truck manifold so if nothing else it will clean up the look and also make me feel better about spray, its aluminum not plastic, so it safer for spray and down the road i eventually want to go direct port injection, cant do that with the stock/ls2/ls6 intake only the fast which costs double not to mention id have to change all the acc so with that said i feel this is the perfect manifold for me at this stage of the game
there was a way to still be direct port with your typical intake. they are adapters you use with your injectors. its been awhile since i had seen them but they do have them out there

Some statements by customers and Edelbrock regarding an L92 version of the XT:

Edelbrock's Response:
Edelbrock's Response to My Question:
i like how hte moron who stated they dont even make LS1s anymore. i wonder if he realizes that ppl still produce these motors and still use them. Its like the SBC they arent in a production vehicle but you still have ppl use them

do a supercharger less maintanance, look for a procharger kit, they are self contained, intercooled and easy to put in, but youll have to get a bigger fuel pump and injectors.... you can put it in by your self, very easy. i wouldnt do a turbo if you plan on long trips they get real hot .. imo
less maintenance? how do you figure? as for underhood temps...my underhood temps are probably cooler then other ppls. if you take the proper steps you wont have issues. blanket and wrap all tubing and heat is dropped. as for heat on long trips, just about every big rig is turbo, just about every diesel on the road is turbo'd. turbo kit is as easy as a supercharger install.

your still running the stock 4.8 arent you?
yupp yupp
-
I woulda figured you to just throw every guage away and put in a single shift light
ha yupp, exactly what i have...raptor shift light
-
CHASE- keep in mind that this tach will not rev as fast as your new engine will.
hell that tach doesnt go as high as my current motor goes
-
YA JUST TO PUT RANDOM STUFF IN THE BED, I DON'T WANNA TURBO BECAUSE OF ALL THE DUCT WORK I WOULD HAVE TO DO. WHO MAKES A GOOD SUPERCHARGER FOR THIS MOTOR... DO THEY ALL FIT A 4.8?
duct work? have you actualy seen a turbo setup? i probably have one of the simplest cleanest looking turbo kits around. if you didnt know anybetter all you would see is a CAI tube

doesnt go high enough for me
