The most common thing I see is a cracked ringland, Did it to my ls3, my fault, should of safely ran the fuel out of the tank after winter storage even with stabilizer in fuel, it drops octane, now I know only cost me a fresh Texas Speed short block and then it escalade is real fast to ARP everything, Johnson lifters,TSPcam, custom Smith Brothers pushrods, billet timing chain, ls2 tensioner, hv oil pump, ls2 balancer, bigger injectors, smaller pulley, twin aux fuel pumps, 15" conversion, roll cage, parachute, 😂

I have an 1100rwhp procharged e85 C6 z06. There is so much that had to go into building that engine to make it handle 16lbs of boost. For starters forged internals, darton sleeved block, updated cooling system and fuel system with flex fuel sensor, rebuilt heads, headers. Once you start making power you've exceeded what the clutch , transmission, torture tube, differential and axels can handle so all those have to be upgraded to stage 5, and of course adding a good set of drag tires such as m/t or toyo or nitto. The end result is nice but it's not cheap👍

@Toys4Life 2 месяца назад

Ya I blew a ringland on cylinder 7. I got greedy 651whp, last almost 3 years, we don't have e85 in canada. Ordering some summit forged piston and h beam rods, block still looks good but I'll take it to the machine shop to check it. The ringland stayed together until the piston was removed. Thanks for the video 👍🏼

@Toys4Life 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the feedback, I've studied that cylinder number seven and eight thing and man for some reason cylinder number seven goes and there's all kinds of people way smarter than me speculating as to why but nobody even at the higher echelons agrees 100%, at least from all the research I've done. Have you heard anything different? Obviously it has to be either too much heat or too little fuel but nobody seems to agree 100%?? Good luck on your new build!

@daren9721 2 месяца назад

@@Toys4Life I've heard cylinder 7 just runs hottest, lean cause of intake design I've heard I'm not sure, good insurance is gapping the rings . This time I'm gonna run meth for insurance. I wish we had e85 in canada!

I read the stock automatic transmission can only take 400 hp. Is this true?

@Toys4Life 2 месяца назад

That sounds low to me - especially one with low miles. Later year C5' autos got improved transmissions as well.

@joekoenig9587 2 месяца назад

I’ve wanted to super charge my 2002 for some time. I’ve had it for 19 years now. It has 27,000 miles, but the only issue I have, and the reason I haven’t done it, is because it has the automatic trans. Do you think it would be beneficial to have the transmission reworked before I add the SC, or could I just leave it stock? Love the channel and enjoy each episode! Thanks.

@Toys4Life 2 месяца назад

I would talk to A&A about your specifics - they are straight shooters. If I had a stock auto I would probably go with a 3.8 pulley ( a bit lower boost) and not tune it as aggressively - keep the RWHP down to 480 or so.

@markhagopian3257 2 месяца назад

@johnthomson2362 2 дня назад

Realistically what would you expect from a 4 spd auto 2002 with a Callaway CAI, Long tube headers, and a corsa exhaust? Do you think with the auto it will run strong? Hang with new cars today?

@Toys4Life День назад

IMO With a stock auto in good shape - I would keep the HP down to low 500s. With a tired auto, you may want to get it rebuilt first - or plan to soon after. If you drive it hard often you may need a rebuild but if done right you can turn up the HP ! This will not only hang with new cars - it will handily beat most.

@willarnold9852 2 месяца назад

I've been on the fence about supercharging my 2000 C5 as I live in California so I can't do heads and a cam but my car sees a lot of higher rpm track driving so I have been thinking really hard about it. I'm curious what about your opinion is, but I think with a knock sensor light, hood vents, a very conservative tune and a redline of 6000 I might be able to get away with supercharging my car and not blowing it up. I would love to hear your thoughts though.

@Toys4Life 2 месяца назад

What kind of track - how long would you be in boost at a time and then after a corner, would you be right back into boost?

@willarnold9852 2 месяца назад

@@Toys4Life I do a lot of spirited driving in the canyons, so I'd say a good 20-40 seconds on throttle, off for maybe 5-15 then back on again. When I drive like this with the stock motor and an upgraded radiator I notice my oil temps tend to get pretty high after about 20 minutes so I'm planning on getting an oil cooler. The more I think about superchargers the more I get worried about heat though and I'm starting to think I should just leave the engine alone.

@FredJensen-mf9zs 2 месяца назад

I have a 99 convertible that’s stock. I’ve heard that the early LS1 head gaskets are not as good as later versions. If that’s true, the gaskets would need to be replaced before supercharging.

@Toys4Life 2 месяца назад

That may be true, but I don't believe that's a common issue.

@99bx99 2 месяца назад

There's a 99 Corvette in the Corvette museum in Bowling Green KY with 773,338 miles on it that's never had a major repair. It DID have the head gaskets replaced at 753,338 miles.

@e.fabian954 2 месяца назад

Hi I have an 81 corvette C3 with an LS1 swap from a corvette C5.it has a 4L60E transmission. I used to be able to launch and the wheels would spin no problem and take off fast. Recently it has been hesitating on acceleration with no more Launch at all like as if I’m taking off on a higher gear and slowly gain speed. no more launch at all. Any ideas on what you think it could be ? I would greatly appreciate your help thank you.

@Toys4Life 2 месяца назад

Have you ruled out the transmission is going into 2nd way too soon- that would do it. Clogged exhaust would do it too.

@pauljr.harrington1905 2 месяца назад

My friends have been telling me ever since I got my C5 to supercharge it, even though I only planned to do a H/C/I setup with exhaust. Seeing as how reliable the A&A Vortech superchargers are, I may actually do it. Especially since it's actually legal in California where I live.

@Toys4Life 2 месяца назад

Right on!

@fullsendC6 2 месяца назад

I would do it, with just exhaust going with a cam, especially if it's an auto trans, you sacrifice a lot more drivability than everybody will tell you, Especially the one selling you the cam, 9:17 bucking, surging, high Idle, multiple miss fire codes, going into neutral cause stock converter will push threw the brakes etc ask me how I know....

@oler777 2 месяца назад

My C6 has 162,000 on it and i have around 8k to put into it. Right now, it has a full exhaust and a pedal commander I just don’t know if I should write the bullet and get the supercharger kit. I was planning on buying it this year but because of inflation now it’s $2000 more than it was last year. Which makes me debate on whether I should just get 06 rear fenders wider rims for fat rear tires and then coil over suspension and some type of areo. it would handle better but it’s still would only have about 400 hp do you think 162,000 mile LS two would handle a supercharger making like 500-550 to the tires?

@Toys4Life 2 месяца назад

That might be a bit high. If you oil pressure is good (indicator of bearings in good shape) and you have good compression (indicator of good piston ring sealing) you might be fine? Up to you, your call - I can't say for sure....
