for the guys asking about elevation and DA: my runs showed a DA of 5,885 and Jon's were at 1,730 which does introduce another small variable into the equation. A head-to-head race on the same track would be ideal, and who knows... maybe in the future we'll meet up and run in person.
Hate when a friendly competition turns into a mess like that... thanks to you both for covering so many interesting combinations and variables.

That's a great head to head comparison of the two trucks and a cool way to accomplish it with Dragy. I'd say its one for the win column for both teams!😎
When you're building and tuning like this, you know the possible consequences. After worrying every time tou hit it for a while, you just get tired of worrying and accept the inevitable. Then the fun *really* begins. 😀
I raced oval track for many years and have gone thru a few engines - Best line ever was when our driver pulled in and said it sounded like there was a bag of groceries in the oil pan....
LT, I absolutely love your truck. It's exactly how I would build a truck if I had the money, skills and tools. Awesome job. Keep the videos coming please. I love this build and the truck!
I hate it when that happens, but is all part of the game. Even though he got you on the 1/4 mile, you got him on the 1/8 mile, I'll say your truck is doing great!!! I'm going to his channel to see where he goes from here: Stay 4.8 or upgrade to something bigger.🤙
But isn't that what you guys do . Don't each & everyone of you lean on them until they break . You push stock parts Beyond the ability of it's function and all of you end up on the side of the road with either parts handing out on the ground Or a Hazmat issue ... Bravo boyz well done ...
LT won if the other guy cant get to the end of the track..lol I mean, thats how it works in the real world. Besides you need to allow for your higher elevation anyway. Both are very respectable and I hope Jon finds a salvageable engine somehow. Hate to see that. Im a big fan of the COPO, so I lean a bit that way anyhow... Greetings from the farm in S.C.!
Maybe something went wrong ????? Like pushing way too much boost on the worst ls motor ever produced. Seriously, if you are going to take the motor apart to gap the rings,swap in a 5.3 crank,some gen 4 rods and new pistons,rings and bearings.
@@lovellmills7959 clueless huh? You must not have read my comment. I know it is an iron block. Gen 3 4.8 rods are junk. I have built hundreds of ls motors but I'm clueless right ?

Woulda coulda shoulda kind of situation. Less timing, more fuel = more budget. I'm in Arizona and sometimes wonder how much of a role humidity plays with boost since water doesn't compress + water/meth injection = holes in piston. Just thinking out loud... Bummer.

I've been wanting that same set-up on my 03 GMC Sonoma SLS for a few years now. Just never have the money. Less weight is easier on the drive train and quicker on acceleration... I was thinking of using the Astro EXT drive train components to start with.

I think Richard Holder tested the 4.8 to see how "MUCH" was too much in the way of Nos and Boost and I'm pretty sure it maxxed out at like 1300 HP before it shed the rods . So yea depending on clearances & miles you can easily spend whatever life is left in the 4.8 by leaning too hard on it ... I'm pretty sure you would benefit greatly with a Torque convertor upgrade .. ..
Key to keeping these engines alive, is cylinder pressure. It’s easier to keep cylinder pressure lower at lower rpm’s with a properly build turbo system, than your roots style blower. You have to figure that a supercharger takes hp to drive. So a 600hp super charged motor and a 600hp turbocharged engine(talking at the wheels) are not equal. The turbo engine is not working as hard, as the supercharged engine that requires the engine to spin the blower via the accessory drive. Hope that makes sense to the layman.
Using a sea level correction calculator, which is almost as bad as racing dynos but whatever its all in fun, the COPO actually wins with a 11.65@117.18 vs 11.85@118.52
Huh? I’d take that challenge. My turbo stock 5.3 in my trans am runs 5.80s at double the DA that LT is at on 20#of boost (and I’ve ran 31psi on the street… ON STOCK RODS). I mph faster in the 1/8 than he does in the quarter mile….. and I consider my car slow. He’s got a long ways before that pickup can hang with fast turbo cars. Don’t get me wrong.. it’s a sweet truck. Tons of fun I bet.
I really do hate that for him. But based off those times, the copo most def won 1/8. And I feel confident U would've won a race to the 1/4 as well by atleast a car length if not more. But he would've been charging hard . Good stuff! We'll continue to get it right !
Lt it's North Maine Steve do u have hp tuner reg program or the hp tuners pro? Was looking to setup w to tuners so I can start to learn how to tune my truck bone stock currently and wanna do the cam swap soon
Was your 4.8 a Gen 3 or Gen 4? The Gen 4 has stronger connecting rods and full floating pistons capable of handling 800+ whp. Unfortunately the Gen 3 simply aren’t as strong.
I'm not sure what kinda ground rules you guys set before this, but running multiple passes until you get the time you want doesn't feel like a real drag race to me. In a drag race you line up, give it your best shot and that's that, no do-overs. Either way I have that he hurt his truck, seems like a nice build that made good power. I'm sure he will build it back every stronger the second time around.
Don't forget the important part about racing remotely via dragging- elevation. Down in Louisiana it's basically sea level, and up in Utah where you are is significantly above - to the tune of a 20% power loss. So you're not making as much power as you would be in Louisiana, or he's making more than he would be in Utah. If y'all had met up and raced, I don't think he would have edged you out in the quarter - you likely would have kept that initial lead all the way out. That said, it sucks that he popped something, but it happens in racing. I'm sure that between your channel and his that he'll be able to get it taken care of promptly- I'm sure there's people watching that would be able to help/contribute. Maybe someone has a 4.8 laying around that they replaced with something bigger? That's a benefit of this community- we all understand and like to help. I'm waiting for the teardown, as well as the inevitable rematch. 😀 Possibly an actual head to head, to eliminate the variables? 😉
John is shifting late out of 1st. He toasted it winding it out too far. Time to upgrade to a LQ9 or a aluminum 6.0. His 400 seems solid and he's hooking well, so everything should hold together with a displacement upgrade.
He could do anything with a 4.8 or 5.3, Gen3/4 5.3 and 6.0 use same exact stroke. 4.8 and 5.3 use same exact bore. 2004+ LS are Gen 3.5 (Gen 3 Block with Gen 4 conrods)
Yeah my '65 Impala with a 283 2bbl, 3.36:1 rear gears and a power glide ran about the same QM time as your bone stock 4.8 truck! Now with a 100 more cubes and a 700R4 and a 12 bolt with 3.07"1 rear gears with a posi it's about 5.5 seconds faster. Man, I couldn't even spin the tires on wet pavement with that car with the original drivetrain! LOL But I'm thinking about tweaking the 283 and re-installing it into the Impala, the trans not so much that thing needs to stay out! Besides I gave it away already after the 383 blew up 1st and reverse gears at the track. heh heh heh. I'm thinking that 283 will run WAY more gooder as a 370, would of considered making it a 383 but a 4.00" stroker crank is out of my price range but who knows by the time I get to it?
So something im doing with my 300 ford 6 build is tapping into the water jacket but adding an extra 2 head studs per cyl, you might want to try that with your next build
How? Most heads are designed with water jackets and runners taking up the rest of the circumference around the cylinder, plus it needs to be completely load bearing, meaning you need solid metal from the bottom side of the head bolt all the way to the deck, it doesn't need to go through a water jacket or runner (it could compress and crack the head). Edited: edited to say I read your comment again and I assume you are drilling a hole big enough to go through the water jacket with the bolt head and using a pipe plug to seal the top hole. Hard to explain but I think I understand what you are doing.
@@stevenbelue5496 was going to go with a custom cast head for the motor so that this wasnt an issue, im finishing up on a crossflow cleveland based head for it to use 2.14? If i remember right on size cleveland valves with a nice port angle of 48 degrees on the intake side and 40 for the ehxaust
Problem is (also live in Utah) we are half the oxygen he has. We are 4,300 ft elevation. He's sea level. More oxygen bigger boom in the combustion chamber.
I would love to know what your DA was on those runs. I have a very similar truck. Its an 02 single cab shortbed silverado thats also all wheel drive.

Obviously I would be slower at a higher DA and wonder how close my D1 porcharger truck is to your LSA truck power wise.
I'd choose a super charger over turbo any day. Far more reliable, cheaper, easier to install, and can be taken off when breaks to run without unlike a turbo. As evidence by this very video. Turbos are nothing but asking for trouble at high boost, and when it blows, unlike a supercharger, youre dead with major repairs and often just end up junking the car due to the repair costs.
Man if I knew u was gonna do callout video I wanted to challenge you I got a identical body style truck to yours but I am all motor 2wd 6.0 4l80. Making 400whp Stock bottom end 300k mile junk yard motor

I think if he was in your air density it be much closer you'd probably edge him out its harder to spool in thin air
But that's why Super Chargers and Turbo Chargers were made, originally for Aviation for Thin Air conditions.
Also the humidity is higher down here compared to the desert.
Yup turn the boost up in relation to lost air density for location.

You can have a 6l90 built where the 5th gear can be made into a non OD and have a tcm for it.
I'd choose a super charger over turbo any day. Far more reliable, cheaper, easier to install, and can be taken off when breaks to run without unlike a turbo. As evidence by this very video. Turbos are nothing but asking for trouble at high boost, and when it blows, unlike a supercharger, youre dead with major repairs and often just end up junking the car due to the repair costs.
Man if I knew u was gonna do callout video I wanted to challenge you I got a identical body style truck to yours but I am all motor 2wd 6.0 4l80. Making 400whp Stock bottom end 300k mile junk yard motor
A lot of factors to determine. You can tree him and still beat him, With a slower time. FYI
I’ve been 12,s in a stock single cab with tune gear and 100 shot
Copo winner of the 1/8 but not the 1/4............. still would like to see a heads up race some day typed at 3:55 Would like to see you both do a drag week event :)
EDIT AFTER VID: It would be a hoot to see a heads up race, the COPO shoots out in front off the line and the silver/sleeper plays catch up the rest of track
Copo would win 1/4 by a car length
When I get done with my truck we gone have to run em. Sadly I’m in Mississippi
I'll run u , I'm in ms 🤷🏼♂️
Can I 4wd my 2wd single cab? With those same parts?
curious what his logs will show, totally sucks and been there. Just have to come back stronger. Cool trucks and vids nontheless.
What to tuner program do u recommend
