Ported heads are the last piece of the puzzle for me. Did a lot change when you put them on? Estimated gains? Hoping I won't need a retune immediately. Deshrouding the chamber will affect compression slightly
@@guitarguy3221 I went from a v6 to the v8 with mods so I wasn’t able to compare it to anything. I think if you have a cam and headers, ported heads just add in to the compounding affect of all the mods. I’m sure you’ll pick up something decent
Just curious what made you convert to Gen 4 and not stay Gen 3? I'm building an LQ4 currently but am planning on just staying gen 3 because it's much simpler to tune. Interested to hear on why you wanted to switch.
The computer and wiring in the 2007-2013 trucks are gen 4. Therefore I needed to convert to have the system read the engine. If you’re not putting it in a factory vehicle and running the factory computer there’s no need to convert.
@aidenthiesen9001, good to hear! I kinda wish mine was a regular cab short bed, but it'll still be fun in my crew cab. Going from a 310k mile stock 350 to a fresh 6.0 will make me think I'm hot poo! 😂
@@funvic yeah for sure it will still be a little hot rod! Aslong as you’re having fun with it, it doesn’t matter how fancy it is because there’s always someone out there with something nicer
I don't have the ported heads, and my intake is the stock gen 3 truck. But same cam, lifters, springs, oil pump, rocker arms, 4.10 gears, and long tube headers as you. I do have 44# injectors, and, unfortunately, a 5700 pound, 21 foot long truck! Lol!
@@funvic sweet! Yeah the heads aren’t that big of a hp pick up but the intake is quite a bit. Hey my truck is 4700 lbs. they are all heavy. I’ll tell u what that thing will do the best burnouts that’s for sure. Mine is just a machine man
This is fucking awesome I'm looking to do a cam swap and tune on mty 2011 chevy just curious what you'd say the total cost was roughly if you don't mind
It totally depends how you do it. I did a cam swap and the valve springs. I also changed the lifter trays and lifters. It all depends how in depth u wanna go. It also depends if your engine has vvt or dod. You would have to delete those. That I didn’t have to do so I’m not sure on price for that. All in I was probably about 1000$ for my parts. Did everything myself. Reused head bolts and head gaskets
How’s yours with tune? I just got mine back from the tuner this week and the hot start isn’t so happy but overall I’m happy with the upgrade, and once the tune is fully figured it’ll be even better
Drove on stock converter for a year. It was fine driving, but for performance I needed a converter bad. Put a 3200 stall in it and it’s a lot better. Stock converter is fine tho
I swapped out the crank for a 58x and timing sprocket for a gen4, swapped starter for a gen4 plug in style starter tapped and drilled side holes on the block for the knock sensors and swapped all gen4 sensors but used gen3 coil packs that came on the lm7 and swapped in the complete intake manifold, dowloaded a gen4 5.3 tunefile for first start and tuned it on the road and it fired right up sounded nasty mean, might missed some stuff but its pretty simple just use oem sensors or you might be chasing problems with aftermarket ones.
@@jaybyrd8592 swapped the reluctor wheel with a 58x, relocated knock sensors to side of block, I got all gen 4 toppings, intake, fuel, tb, you need to move cam gear sensors to the front timing cover instead of behind the intake, if your putting in a gmt900 like my truck you also need a gen 4 oil pan. Gen 3 won’t clear the support underneath.
@@aidenthiesen9001 whenever you get a chance to do a video , id like to see wherre you relocated the knock sensors. My code never went away after I replaced them
@@TheGiantPeachI moved them to the side of the block. I used high heat jb weld to hold the gen 4 knock sensors to the block. Most guys drill and tap to the block and secure them that way
