HOW CAN I MAKE MORE, CHEAP 6.0L HORSEPOWER? HOW MUCH POWER WILL MY 6.0L MAKE? WHAT MAKES MORE POWER, SINGLE-PATTERN OR DUAL-PATTERN PROFILE? HOW MUCH POWER DOES A PROCHARGER SUPERCHARGER ADD TO AN LS? HOW MUCH POWER IS A CAM SWAP WORTH ON A 6.0L LS? WHAT CAM SHOULD IT RUN ON MY 6.0L LS. DO I NEED TO RUN A DEDICATED CARBURETOR CAM ON MY CARBURETED LS? WHAT MAKES MORE POWER, CARBURETOR OR EFI? HOW GOOD IS THE FACTORY LS3 INTAKE? CAN I RUN A DUAL-PLANE, HOLLEY INTAKE ON MY 6.0L LS? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I COMPARED A SINGLE-PATTERN CAM TO A DUAL-PATTERN CAM, A CARBURETED INTAKE TO AN EFI INTAKE AND THEN ADDED A PROCHARGER D1SC CENTRIFUGAL SUPERCHARGER. THIS VIDEO SHOWS HOW TO MAKE MORE 6.0L LS POWER.

    nice test. this would be a great muscle car engine

    Boost always does great things for an engine šŸ™‚

    Look at the shape of the horsepower curve. It has a ripple in the curve, the dual plane curve is smooth. I think its probably a function of very even runner length in the EFI manifold, the resonant frequencies of each runner being the same causes the sine wave ripple as rpm's increase. The dual plane has all very different length runners which cancel out each others tuned lengths. Basically one has a natural filter. Also the obverall shape of the two horsepower curves are different, so naturally the two curves will cross twice.

    I have high hopes for my stock lq4 bottom end with 243 heads a truck Norris cam and fast 92 mm intake šŸ¤žšŸ».

    Like Steve Morris says, "Everythings better with boost." lol
  • @dubjay3779
    Please do some comprehensive Hemi tests

    Currently waiting for my 402 (6.6L) stroker build to finish. My LS2 block was junk so went 6.0 iron block (30 over), forged eagle crank, forged eagle i beam rods, SRP Pro dish pistons (shooting for 11:1), unported fast 102, TSP Magic Stick 3 (238/242, .600', 112 LSA, 110 ICL), comp cam lifters, ARP head studs and mains, king bearings, new Monster Lt1s twin disc, Fast 58 injectors, Aeromotive 325lph fuel pump, full exhaustā€¦. Hoping for 520+ wheel and then maybe add boost later. Still a daily, hence the mild cam (2006 corvette). Replacing torque tube bushing and bearings as well $$$$$$$ šŸ˜¢

    Orange spray paint on the timing set and oil pump?! Did Blueprint send it out like that?!!
  • I just swapped a 69 firebird with an ly6 and almost the same exact camshaft from the Holley dual plane with a sniper to factory intake with terminator x!!! This is a bummer for me haha. Definitely doesnā€™t have the torque it used to Iā€™ll say that
  • 6 liter goodness! Wish you would have run the 223/223 cam with the LS3 intake too. But, time constraints most likely overruled that test.
  • @ericordemann5806
    Richard thank you so much for including the carb setups with this video! Was curious what your thoughts are on the older BTR stage 2 cam with the dual plane on the 6.0 rect setup? Also what do you find is the sweet spot for timing on the carb setups like this? Cheers!

    HEY RICH, WHATā€™S THE PART NUMBER OR LINK FOR THIS MOTOR?

    Good evening, first i'd like to say thanks for a lot of information and also I'm new to this. I have a old cargo Van with a 6 old engine absolutely love it but I use it for work daily use, so reliability is a big thing and I also told a 7 by 14 in closed trailer. I'm getting high on a mileage and I would like to rebuild it. I wanted to know what would it take for me to get around 450 torque and maybe 425 hp. Mainly because I run a lot of the highway but I also run a lot of the Midwest northeast mountains. I know GM came out with the new 66. But I actually love my cargo bank and everything works completely fine and The engine is just getting higher in mileage and just wanted to overhaul it.

    On the 1st test the dual pattern cam is big compared to the single pattern so hp up and tq down would be expected. A dual plane more like 220/238ish 112lsa would be a closer equivalent. Likewise a single pattern of mid 230's@50 would be closer equiv to that dual pattern.
