I remember when the vortec 350 came out and everyone thought they had hotrods. Those trucks probably ran a 16. Now we have 2.7 4 cylinders running low 15s and people are calling them slow. Times sure have changed.
Haha so true.
Difference is you can put a couple grand into a vortec 350 and make double the power the 4 banger will make with a couple grand put into it.
@@iDrive4fun93 Except tuning on a turbocharged motor works WONDERS. It’s super easy to make a turbo’d motor build power
no replacement for displacement, a v8 has the potential.
@@gavindrewry8652 yes, but you can boost a 350. Any work you do to that 4 cylinder you can do to a V8
People that make fun of this engine are just showing their ignorance. I love old stuff, but I'm not offended by new stuff. I have a '71 Buick Riviera with a 7.5L V8 (455) it weighs 4500lbs and is rated roughly 330hp and 500lb torque gross. Probably closer to 260hp net. At run what you brung my best time was 16.2 in the quarter. This 2.7 is beating an engine almost 3 times its size. Sure, the 455 has more potential, but we are not talking hypothetical.
Well put my man.
glad someone made this video
Glad someone watched it
Posted on my birthday from my home track. That was an interesting find.
Happy Birthday!
@Yosef Clyde I've never even heard of flixzone. I'll have to check it out! I'll be down for a few shows this year but im not going to compete again until next year. Building a new garage so, nova and truck is parked for now.
Fun trucks for sure.
Yes indeed, not at home on the drag strip but a fun truck to live with for sure
Zero to speeding ticket in 15.3 seconds. Nice.
Right 😂
wow, 15.3 is pretty fast. Were you runing regular or premium gas?
Thanks new friend 😮 wonder what my 5.3 100% stock Sierra can do,,,
I have the same truck:
-sport mode (fast shifts / cuts less with wheel slip / throttle response )
-auto 4WD
-traction/stability control off
-do this and the launch is brutal
Good tips!
I just got a new custom very. Impressed.
Lol “brutal”
@@ericduran7951I have a 2.7t, 430 ft/lb gapped my buddies v8 hemi ram lol
How sport mode? I have wt
Did you have it in sport mode?
Which is the best 0-60? Seconds?
That orange camaro started in 2nd and it still looked like he was booking it. Lol
I don't think 2nd but fast regardless
A friend of mine has the same engine in his Silverado and he launches it in AWD at 3800 rpm. It launches good but runs a 15 flat at best. They just run out of steam at the higher mph due to the small displacement. Not bad though considering his previous Silveradio with a 5.3 ran the same time in the 1/4. Both trucks are double cab configs.
This and the 5.3 are a dead heat
It's not the small displacement. It's how much boost and the tune. The tune is optimized for a truck...low RPM torque. A tune for performance and more boost would wake it up tremendously.
@@diambo4life I agree that a tune would wake it up for sure. I don't know of anyone that tunes those though.
Running a15 in a truck is good.
@@diambo4life Huh? More boost = more low end torque
I got the Regular cab short bed with HO 2.7 . I was a hater of anything that wasn't V8 til buddy took me for a ride in his 2.7 and he hooked to a Track loader weighing 8500 lbs trailer included. Didn't hesitate to buy one
When you break it down by power to weight the heavier V8 is probably neck and neck with the lighter four cylinder.
This the same engine on ct4-v? Interesting.
15.36 @88 that's pretty damn good I mean it's a pickup truck with a 4 cylinder !
Sure is!
@@JrsGasolineAlley really ????
That's a fast ass stock truck
@@a.k.a.A.E. Do you know another full size truck with a 4 cylinder that's faster?
Stock lol whit a turbo lol 😆 😂
15.3 is much faster than I thought. If the 2.7 gets decent mpg then i could care less about the V8s. With the 2022 getting 420lbtq then I may just get a Silverado 2.7 instead.
I average 22 mpg in the city, 32 on the interstate
@@privilegedwhitemale306 can confirm with a 2021 2.7
I have a 2021 2.7T Silverado 4x4. I love it! I traded my 2008 Corvette for this truck, and I am 100% happy with my decision. Great fuel economy, smooth ride, and very lightweight. It's HP and TQ are perfect. Towing capacity is well over 9k.
I'm curious how many miles the engine is good for compared to the V8's.
@@bretfeeney1072 take care of it and it’ll take care of you
I would put it in AWD, traction off, tow haul on, RPMs jut over 1500. That should get it to launch good.
I would agree with all suggestions, but put it in sport mode.
Do you mean 4wd or Awd?
@@TheWolverine-rm2kr AWD, that auto setting switches the front wheels on and off depending on rear wheel traction
3500 rpms to launch
I seen another video where they put it in trailer mode. Why that vs sport mode?
Looking forward to getting a Canyon denalli in a few years, add downpipe and a tune and break into the 13's while getting 30+ mpg and towing 8000 lbs.
im guessing 15.8 at 84mph 15.1...good driving,,impressive
God damn the car in the first race lmao
lol Right?
I need this motor set up ASAP for a 2900lb car
Que the Cadillac...
Raptors do around 14 - 15s quarter miles. If you're at 16s that's great by any standard.
is 15 good or bad? Is the 5.3 faster, since it only have a few extra HP?
5.3 is basically identical. they are within a few tenths.
I believe the 2.7 is quicker if it comes with 17s and traction off
2.7 actually creams the 5.3. I’ve seen plenty of vids.
Daily driving this truck I wish I could floor it and have it shift at 4500. It's super flat after that and it has the gearing for it.
Can't wait until people start swapping these light engines into smaller cars and utilizing the torque
This engine would be amazing in a E30 lol
Engines provide horsepower, drive trains convert hsp to torque.
Your wish has been granted. Should be moving into a Chevy Colorado/ GMC Canyon
I said a few months ago.. swap it into a s10..
@joelsmithers1691 the torque is generated by the engine. Transmissions just transfer it to the wheels
Pretty good for a 4 banger
Sure beats the 5.3...
Its 348 torque at 1500 rpms, you don't need to brake boost.
I love my 2.7l 2020 sle.
Are you adding any engine mods?
There's not really anything on the market for the engine. If somebody comes out with a tune I'd be interested
@@JrsGasolineAlley I agree. I have the aFe cold air intake. Borla exhaust.
Ordered the scorcher from aFe too. It's a tuner that piggybacks on your ECU. afepower.com/afe-power-77-84013-scorcher-blue-bluetooth-power-module#overview
@@JHoll84 how do you like the exhaust? I’ve been wanting it but I can’t find any videos/reviews on it. Worried it sounds like shit.
I have the afe instake and the scorcher performance module on my 2.7 the performance module helps for turbo boost and throttle response, you can also download the app and it shows turbo boost and you can even time yourself on 1/8 and 1/4 mile
They also have the inter cooler piping and downpipe at afe
In the 90s I would run my mom’s 91 Wolfsburg edition VW vanagon….. 19.1 qtr, Run what you brung baby!
It looked like off the line on the first run the truck stopped moving completely
If these are long lived then they make sense but only if they get 20+ mpg avg. 90% of driving is just putting around or work truck. Seldom used for towing. My 19 year old Nissan Titan does quarter in 14.4 but gets 15 on a good day.
Well that race was close in beginning 😂😅😂😅
you should have use 4x4 high no wheel spin better turbo needed better speed
Had a 2020 2.7
The engine was strong for what it was, hauled with it no problems, the trans on the other hand , was trash , only complaint. Went with the 5.3
Fair enough. Wish The 2.7 was able to have the 10spd
@@JrsGasolineAlley do you think, longevity wise, the 2.7 turbo will hold up?
My dad has a 2021 2.7 and the 8 speed trans works great
I wonder if a 10spd might be beneficial?
I'm sure it would be
Maybe not, it'll keep shifting and searching for a higher gear, lowering the rpm output and speed. Three to four gears in a 1/4 mile is all you need in most cases.
would the 5.3 version be quicker ?
They are similar 0-60. The quarter mile separates the two because of the extra power in the 5.3.
The 2.7L is quicker in the 1/4 then the 5.3L. The 6.2L is the quickest though, obviously.
I drove all 3 ....6.2 on top.....2.7 is about the same if not quicker than the 5.3
It’s quicker but wayyyy more power in terms of torque. 420 ft/lbs
Is this the 430 torque engine?
What's the weight of the truck?
I'm curious how quick the 2.7 Turbo will be in the 2023 Colorado ZR2 It's now 310 hp and 430 Torque
should put on sport mode and traction control , stability control off before hitting the track.
All of the above were done
Is this james the bike guy?
I'd like to put that motor in my g body with some mods.
That would be sick
Same
0:09 don’t know why but laughed xdxd
Because that gap is hilarious
15.1 1/4 mile with less torque (348) than the new one (430)? And a heavier but more traction 4x4? Not bad at all!!!
Anyone out there with the updated (torque) engine easily breaking into the 14s and matching the 5.3?
Yeah this looks pretty sluggish compared to the High output 2.7s
It was not built to drag race. But 15.3 is 1990 Mustang 5.0 territory.
If it would have hooked up you would have whooped that mustang.
That big ass truck first run is as fast or slow as my 91 camaro 5.0
ahha and its a 4 banger.... oh how we don't appreciate how fast vehicles have gotten. Back in my day trapping 100mph was a big deal, now that is expected out of a base model.
Not bad at all people forget how slow trucks were just 10 years ago
True, or even just 2-3y ago before the 6 & 8spd transmission became available.
lol I owned a gmc s15 with a whooping 95 hp! 22 years ago lol
So 14.9 is possible in these! Any tuners out for these yet?
No. Tuners. The ECU is very well locked down and a few companies have tried to crack but haven't yet
Tune in tomorrow to see the finish.
Haha, seriously!
Could be a little quicker with a launch in 4hi. I’ll be taking mine to the track this fall
Agreed
This 310hp and 430tq is plenty for my ZR2 Colorado.
Its nowhere near as fast as th previous project cars ive owned, but its quick for a 5300 pound bone stock truck ment for overlanding.
Ouch! That was embarrassing.
Was it? How so lol.
Dude the 2.7l is so fast if you take traction control off. He didn’t do this justice at all in my opinion
or just put it in 4wd
It belongs more in bracket racing...
For sure, this was just a fun test n tune day
most race cars couldn’t handle back to back passes, without something breaking
Put it in 4 wheel drive and brake boost it all the way... it will throw you in the seat
The electronic throttle body kills the brake boosting, but you can add load by bringing up to rpm just a few thousand. But yeah, thats for next time.
You don’t need helmets to drag race? The drag strip near me house requires helmets because it’s safer
You don't when you go this slow, lol. NHRA rules (what most tracks require) for test-n-tune days like this is 13.99 or faster require helmet.
Jr's Gasoline Alley 👍
Depends on what you're racing.if you're running low 9's you probably need full roll cage, helmets and everything.running 85 mph in the quarter mile isn't that dangerous.they have it figured out, they're not going to let people get out there and hurt themselves if they can help it.
88 mph ,,, install a Flux Capacitor and your all set...
No offense to anyone but if y’all want to race buy a race car something made for the track😂 btw i own a truck this one to be exact it’s a good mid duty truck any truck no matter what size engine will break if you hot rod it also if you don’t know how to tow / haul stuff it will crap out just saying to each there own everybody
Sold u a truck with less than half an engine
The 22 2.7 Silverado will smoke you has way more torque
Um yeah, I sure would hope the newer more powerful truck would be faster than the older less powerful truck.
Lol what the hell was that

Congratulations on making the 2.7/3.5 ECOboost the SECOND worst sounding pickup engine.🤣
lol coulda got the 60ft way lower...ya ok
Cant tell if your making fun of the statement or my driving? The truck lights them up even with the prepped surface, I should have been launching in 4wd and it would have taken the truck down into the 2s flat area
@@JrsGasolineAlley 2.15 is pretty good don't know how your gonna get way lower than that maybe take your spare tire off the truck get it down to 2.1
Hope you wasn't racing that mustang for money.
well, that was embarrassing...
Luckily my penis is already micro so it didn't effect my ego.
I fell asleep
Your welcome!
I was just messing with you. I had to put a K&N cai, muffler/resonator delete, canned tune and vette servo in to hit 14.98. Thats on an 09 with the 5.3.
Had one for a rental while my truck was being serviced.
It's a truck, with a turd for an engine.
lol, thats a intersting remark. Personally I really like the motor and most people I know who have driven them feel that way too.
@@JrsGasolineAlley Compared to my truck, it is a turd. A 4 cylinder has no place in a truck. That engine is for a school girls car, and I can't see anyone realistically walking into a GM dealer and picking this out for a truck.
Yes, I'll have that slate blue with a 2.7 turbo please😆
The 2.7 turbo has more power and torque then the 4.3 v6
@@Shabnation Yes it does. It is also comparable to the 5.3 in 0-60 times, however, it belongs in a Malibu. GM could have at least turbocharged the 4.3 to run with the Ford.
I really think it’s a good motor. I traded my GMC in for a new 2021 6.2/10 speed on a Friday night. By the time we finished the deal...it was to late for them to prep my new truck and I was given a 2020 with the 2.7 for the weekend. That thing really has torque just above idle and is much better than the 4.3. The big question is how will it hold up in a few more years. I would have zero nerves about the 2nd gen 2.7ecoboost motor... but I have two co workers who had expensive failures on their gen 1 eco boost motors (a timing chain and a blown turbo). If the longevity is there and GM gradually ups the already generous power...they have a nice light duty truck on their hands.
Slow
Yes.
Silverado 5.3l the best. Over 200,000 miles with no problems.... 4 cylinders turbo... civic truck 😅😅😅😅
very bad❌❌❌
Cool story
did they give you a 0-60?
I appreciate your videos.
No unfortunately the time didn't go high enough to capture 0-60
This is the non high output one to bet u the 430 tq one is even faster
