Im a parts chucker, fabricator, engine builder, suspension designer, and basically a one man show of garage built race cars. All DIY, with minimal tools in a two car garage. ....with a lift in it.
Get some merch and support the build and the channel. shanewhalleyracing.com/collections

A vehicle is a moving object. That's where the shrouding assist in front of the radiator. Your pusher fan does not "obstruct" the radiator more than a puller. Plus, the fan starts turning as you drive. If you "theoretically" find a marginal benefit puller vs pusher, then you face a bigger problem. I use pusher fans since 30 years on all my street cars which I build.
I always thought gate size was more dependent on power being made not necessarily engine displacement. If you are flowing x amount of CFM for X amount of power then your gate needs to be able to flow enough of a percentage of that overall CFM to keep things in check , also in most cases your turbo back half can't flow enough cfm for the turbos rated power, so the excess CFM has to be provided by the gate. TLDR Gate size is better determined by flow demand not displacement. A 1.8l engine making 900hp will need more gate than a 5l engine making 500hp.
More volume than flow. A 2.0L engine turning 11k rpm at 40lbs of boost will need a larger gate than your standard 2.0L at 15lbs of boost since it’s moving more air. You can’t go just off power, because for large displacement engines that move a lot of exhaust without boost will need to have a larger gate to keep boost from spiking. There’s ways to go into technicalities for many different scenarios, I’m just trying to keep the video relatively short and simple.
After 4 years I don't even know if you'll answer this but I'm running the 6.0 LS and is it necessary to keep the PCV valve hooked up or can I delete that by running a line to the catch can? This is my first LS build so I don't know if this PCV valve is necessary unless running a catch can. Thank you and yes these types of videos are awesome. Big Chief from the 405 is doing a lot of informational type videos and it helps us beginners out.
I have a RacePak Smartwire and either you are a genius or myself and the three people that I have hired separately are full tilt retarded, because no one can figure this out! Two people that I hired quit, and the other one said that the SW was defective LOL! And calling Holley is a total waste of effort! If you are interested in programming this, let me know! I'll wait! LOL
I randomly had one single needle from what looked to be a needle bearing attached to my drain plug magnet yesterday when i drained the oil. Any chance that needle could be from my rockerarm needle bearing? I am scratching my head on this one....how could that have made it all the way down there without causing any catastrophic failures. ...??
You think all the brand name companies have purchased a milling machine just to make clamps? They all get them manufactured in china and just get their logos laser etched onto them. All companies do it with products. It saves a heap of money on business overheads
Very nice, I like it. Do you think a setup like this would work on a car for endurance racing? Like for hobby drivers on a trackday where you drive for hours?
Hey, you might not see this but would you buy it for a restomod. I plan on stripping out all wiring plan on adding additional luxuries such as power windows. But what could really take it next level is launch control, cruisecontrol, ... Would you ever consider putting it in an oldtimer when doing a restoration?
I hope you keep going. I enjoy your channel and have for quite a while now. I've always said that I was shocked you didn't have more subscribers, but know that it's just because you haven't given it enough time. The only reason to not continue is if you don't want fame. The world is your oyster bro.
Get the 99 model lifters (they're improved). Fellow double "gto" owner here.. I just need the ferrari to complete the trifecta.. You've gotta love how that single stage caracas red comes back. Btw you can get caracas red in a spray can. I'm about to link a channel that is very useful for this platform. Oh, and 4g63 swaps are a tried and true thing.
