Outstanding work Sir! This is by far one of the coolest builds I've seen. I don't care if it only makes 400 to the tire. You picked the perfect truck to do this build in my opinion. The supercharger sounds amazing. I LOVE IT!!!
On the Camaro ZL1 with LSA. A larger capacity coolant tank for the supercharger helps a lot. Can tell a fairly big difference in a 1/4 mi run on keeping IAT down.
The supercharger sounds great and once it gets going it puts the power to the road!!! Nice build and looking forward to seeing how well the all wheel drive hooks up on this truck!
Outstanding LT! I love this project. Understanding the traction issues with heavy throttle I was hoping the 0-60 would be better. But, it can only go up or rather down as you sort the traction improvement actions! Again, Love this build! Good job!
yeah, I was hoping it would do a little better off the line as well, and I'm sure if I played with tire pressure and the caltracs I could've gotten it to hook a little better... but we can and will do better!
Its easy to get power down on a track but on the street not so much. I Feel for you truck guys traction is always the struggle. I would imagine some nitto 285-315 tires Would help. I dont envy you if you decide to get a stall convertor (2800-3500). Then the real spinning will begin. I think the lower displacement could play into your favor ( less torque to cause spinning haha) I would do as tuner said on valve springs and while at it put a cam that will make power to 7000rpm. Then attack suspension. A mid 12s street driven truck is very impressive to me.. Awesome Job
Knew you'd love a roots style supercharger back when you were debating what power adder to put on this project. And yes ... it's pretty undescribable to those who don't know. It's an experience. Enjoy it my friend.
Awesome truck, I really like it ! Your truck is almost my dream truck, dropped K1500 Sportside with short bed and cab with AWD mod and supercharged LS-engine under the hood. And I really like your way to build, you want to keep everything factory style as much possible, I like to do same myself. Really waiting for your next videos to see how AWD mod and 4L80e upgrade works. Just keep doing more great videos.
These are awesome trucks and I’m glad to see someone have fun with the 4.8. I would rather fix up a 1999-2007 Chevy/GMC than buy a new truck especially a diesel. I’ve been doing my research on vortecs they had allot of engine options for early 2000s. I like all the early 2000 vortec motors from the 4.3 v6 to the 8.1 496.
I’ve been obsessed with this year of GM trucks. I just had a 99 Silverado with a 5.3 and sold it, bought a 00 Escalade with a 5.7 and a 99 Sierra with another 5.3. My parents had a 05 Tahoe with a 4.8 and I also had an 06 Silverado with a 4.8 and towed like 10k lbs at some times haha. These trucks and engine options are just awesome, so simple to work on and maintain as well. Great for fixing and flipping as well!
Good stuff, keep it up. Have you looked into putting an interchiller from Forced Inductions on? Then you can really manage IAT's and couple that with E85 and you can get sub-freezing IAT temps. Just a thought, but great work.
Outstanding! I've enjoyed watching this build for sure. I think the 4.8 could wind out a bit farther. WOT shifts at 7k should be happy. Have you looked into Racerender at all? It's an extra step but being able to overlay gauges onto the video would be amazing.
Nice build, I'm in the process of pulling a 6.0L stage 2 cam with 4L80E out of my 2011 Chevy Colorado and I'm installing a 4.8L with a 4l60E. I am doing this because the 4L80E is slipping and need a rebuild and also the recent increase in fuel prices here in Canada. We're paying $1.67L for fuel right now it's crazy. Don't underestimate those little 4.8 L they're very strong and they make a lot of power.
Very cool video LT that lsa supercharger sounds cool can’t wait to see the all wheel drive video After watching the truck tech video of project red tie I’d like to do the all wheel drive conversion on my 97 2 door Tahoe, I’m building an Ls 6.0l for it and I have a vortec super charger on the original 5.7l that I’m going to put on the Ls , I definitely think the all wheel conversion would be very cool Thanks again for the awesome content
Excellent work as always LT! I’m always impressed with your level of detail. Thank you for sharing all the knowledge and experience on these builds. Do you have plans to beef up the 8.6” 10 bolt? I have a 1994 K1500 with a F.I. 383. For years I’ve been kicking around the next power plant & drivetrain to build for it. I’ve contemplated 6.0L-4L80, 8100-Allison, (if I was spending someone else’s money LSX 454-4L80) or maybe Cummins but that would require a straight axle conversion and so much additional weight would negatively impact GVWR. Seeing your builds, in-depth knowledge and detailed results is helping me decide this future build.
so far, the 10-bolt has a truetrac and 4.30s, but no plans to do anything further, especially since now 38% of the torque will be going to the front which helps take some of the stress away from the rear. The same exact axle is holding up to my extended cab truck with 900lb.ft. of torque at the wheels, so this one will be perfect
YEEEAHH bOYEEEEEEE!!!! Stoked to see this AWD situation... I suppose we'll see how its done... wonder if you could adapt the transfer case for 73-87 crossmember
I have a 2011 Silverado single cab Short bed 2wd4.8 and I'm on my second transmission 245'000 miles this truck has been amazing for what I've put it through and pulled with it . Its best performance is on e85 because it is a flex fuel but anyway this video makes me want to supercharge it and build it up like your setup!
The torque from these LSA setups make them feel like a big block. I bet you can easily run higher timing and gain a ton or power. Every engine is different but I’ve been able to run 15-18 degrees on 91 and have no knock. If you put a larger intercooler reservoir in there it would slow down the IAT gain. My reservoir holds a little over a gallon and my IAT’s don’t climb quite that fast. But my heat exchanger is also a little bigger. My buddy with a 4.8 lsa setup put out 495 hp to the tires. I think on similar boost as you.
Tune the pcm with the 91octane, then add water methanol injection. It will lower your iat on pumped gas and less work in the long run. I have a kit on my daily tahoe, 5.3 with basic boltons, my iat in summer will go from 50c to 24c at wot. That means I get winter performance all summer long.
Volante makes a nice air cleaner box with a ram air tube out the bottom. Bet you could make one. Would be cool to see the iat difference. Really like the channel your great.
My new tailgate latches did that too. I don't have a fix to the latching issue, but if you put a screw driver under the handle you can push left or right (left on the left side, right on the right side) it will force the engagement of the latch. It's part of my locking up routine when I close it lol. Annoying but effective.
Depends if he has a rising boost curve or not. If you go back to the video he did of the 4.8 dyno after the rebuild, it is signed off by 6k. So unless the blower is huffing more in after that it is pointless to go more than 6.5 unless you are trying to drop your shift in AFTER tq peak to save the 4LglassE
That thing rips can wait for the next video and would a inter chiller help u with your iat there sold by complete street performance to help keep the blowers cooler
I am just drooling. I love my avalanche but it's 5.3 is just underpowered for the towing I do so I bought a 2007 Escalade EXT with the 6.2. Great torquey truck but. No issues towing my loads but it's just not responsive, it's even heavier and the seats aren't comfortable, my Avalanche also has a 6" lift. I actually enjoy driving the 05 Avalanche more so my thought went to a 6.2l swap or forced induction to give me more torque for the hills. Turbo's are out because the crossover pipe sits too low. This is an offroad truck as well. A full engine swap is a bit of a PITA but I no longer have a shop. The LSA I can install in my driveway without too much problem. This is confirming my thoughts.
Donuts in the middle of a public road for our entertainment? How irresponsible of you. We love it. Looks like a lot of fun to drive. Instant torque is the best kind.
Awesome build and probably the most relatable to most people but I noticed a tower during the burnout when the tailgate came open and it looked like a construction camera or traffic camera hopefully you dont get ticketed for careless and prohibited driving
Sounds like AWD will be the winner. My 93 S10 Blazer with a Vortec 4.3 V6 was 8.1 0-60. After e-fan, better intake/filter, shorty headers, and cat back exhaust it was at 7.0 0-60. My old LT1 Camaro was traction limited to 5.6 0-60. The COPO should be way faster than a V6 or old Camaro. Maybe you should have moved the battery to the back by the passenger taillight;) Great stuff!
Awesome video, thankyou LT, I personally would like you to stay with the 4.8, once you get your combination dialed in, you will give any 5.3 a run for there money, plus it's different. No point even talking about Ford or Mopar on this one.
That sound is worth 75 rwhp! And that pull you did at a 40 roll (up to 55 of course) looked and sounded great! Can u get 110 or 116 octane at a local track? Well. That may be a little much, but you could help your 91 octane with a bit of that.
Hey LT, if you haven't torn the truck down yet Please do a 4WD 0-60 with the 4L60 still in the truck and then of course repeat it with the AWD conversion. I'd be curious to see how much of a difference the lower first and second gears (3.06, 1.62) in the 4L60 does for acceleration vs the 2.48, 1.48 gear ratios in the 4L80 trans. BTW, nice job in the LSA install, looks factory :)
There’s a theory that you can comparatively get a lot more out of a stock boosted smaller capacity engine before things start to pack it in than from a much larger engine . Unless the rods are a lot weaker you should be able to push them much further and rev them higher thus getting a lot more power. Need Richard Holdner to destroy a few engines to test this theory.
Tuner kids and their Honda’s have shown this for years, although that may be sacrilegious on this channel. Advertised HP & trq numbers on a window sticker only tell part of the story. I worked at a GM dealership when these trucks were being produced. All stock and all other things being equal my experience was a 4.8l would edge out a 5.3l but it was working for it. Increase the weight, load or a few mods and the 5.3l would quickly wake up and out perform the 4.8l (Tuning, tuning, tuning) At the same time we would take delivery of back to back SSRs and corvettes with LS2s. The window stickers advertised +15 HP for models with 6 speed manuals but most of the time the automatic’s would run significantly stronger. I didn’t have a draggy and we didn’t dyno test them so I don’t have actual proof of facts but the seat of the pants feel was substantial.
LT how is your boost curve? Is it a rising curve? I would guess that since the LSA is designed for a larger displacement it shouldnt run out of steam too soon. But in your 4.8 dyno vid the graph seemed to show the cam signs off around 6k. No point in winding it more unless the blower is changing the curve up top. May need a dyno run to see where it really needs to shift
I actually finished up the AWD conversion just before this video went live, haven't tested any launches just yet, but soon!
When that thing hits the Dyno I think some will be surprised...
What would be the reason for AWD versus 4WD
Can’t wait!!
Think I would rather keep the 4x4 to have option of running in 2wd when driving normal or for donut/ burnout shenanigans.
Sick !
I love how you named the burnout segment “Si quema”😂😂
That supercharger whine sounds so cool! I love your build.
Definitely more pronounced than I expected
@@evsnova74 just saw your video on that rear suspension! Coming out good!
@@buddyrebel_Garcia yes! I'm just glad to be done with it and driving it again
Outstanding work Sir! This is by far one of the coolest builds I've seen. I don't care if it only makes 400 to the tire. You picked the perfect truck to do this build in my opinion. The supercharger sounds amazing. I LOVE IT!!!
thanks, and I agree. no matter how much or how little power it makes, its still a blast
Amen! Horsepower ≠ fun
Nice! Such a clean install, and it sounds awesome.
Sound bada$$!!!!! 😎
On the Camaro ZL1 with LSA. A larger capacity coolant tank for the supercharger helps a lot. Can tell a fairly big difference in a 1/4 mi run on keeping IAT down.
Almost 75k subscribers! With this kind of quality content, you should have 100k. Fingers crossed you get there this year.
let's hope so!
Based on your smile driving looks fun!!! Can’t wait to see what power it makes!!
Have fun!
So much torque it blew the tailgate right off 😂. Awesome build man
The supercharger sounds great and once it gets going it puts the power to the road!!! Nice build and looking forward to seeing how well the all wheel drive hooks up on this truck!
That was a hell of a burn out LT lol. Great build. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for watching! it was a fun one to do
Love watching your builds, but the scenery is amazing
I love it that you showed the tailgate popping open. I've done the same 4wheeling.
Can't wait for the AWD updates
That WINE is Epic! Smiles for days!
Outstanding LT! I love this project. Understanding the traction issues with heavy throttle I was hoping the 0-60 would be better. But, it can only go up or rather down as you sort the traction improvement actions! Again, Love this build! Good job!

@@LawrenceTolman Final drive gear ratio change would help trust me use a 3.90:1 final drive ratio.
@@rustybeatty6567 He's stuck with whatever gear ratios the front axle can have. I can't imagine it'd have options, when there isn't even lsd's for it.
Remember he can’t stall it up rn either bc of traction, stalling it would probably drop a sec
That truck is awesome love the sound of the supercharger great work.
Looks great already hitting the road hard. Thanks for giving us technical side for tuning. No stone left unturned here.
Lot's of fun.
I am aware of a super charger kit for my 2001 Jeep 4.0 i6. This vid makes me want to go for it. Thanks for the motivation.
This thing is sweet man, love how you include all the technical data in your videos so comparisons are accurate as possible
thanks! to me, you've gotta show improvements somehow, and the Draggy makes it really easy to measure improvements
Its easy to get power down on a track but on the street not so much. I Feel for you truck guys traction is always the struggle. I would imagine some nitto 285-315 tires Would help.

I’ll admit it: I liked this particular video before it started. I knew it was going to be amazing
I’d love to see a L92 swap eventually in this to see the difference between a booster 4.8 vs boosted 6.2.
Little 4.8 is a giant killer! Love the content LT. I’m working on a similar truck but I am going turbo.
Awesome truck, I really like it ! Your truck is almost my dream truck, dropped K1500 Sportside with short bed and cab with AWD mod and supercharged LS-engine under the hood.

Great video LT..... Can you give us a budget video of the cost so far? Keep the great content coming.
Some 2" hose clamps on the bottom hinges will keep that tail gate in place,great thief deterrent too.
that's a good idea, I'll have to do that for sure! thanks for the info
Sick sick build best one I’ve seen on the RUclipss yet wish I had the budget to do mine like that
I just love this guy...He knows what he's doing..great 👌 👍great job...I'm a subscriber 👍
thank you!
Love the sound of a supercharger roots or axial type.
Can't wait to see the truck finished. Thank you, and keep up the great content

This man is the reason its raining in FL right now lol. All them clouds!
I can’t wait to get my mine from Boost District to put on my LS2/S10!!!!
Acceleration never gets old.
Loved the burnout! Just an incredible job!
You've built a beast of a truck! I love it!
Great background behind the truck
Mexico looks real nice this time of year. I’m sure that LSA build got you there and back pretty quick 😂😂
Outstanding! I've enjoyed watching this build for sure. I think the 4.8 could wind out a bit farther. WOT shifts at 7k should be happy.

Very cool video LT that lsa supercharger sounds cool can’t wait to see the all wheel drive video
After watching the truck tech video of project red tie I’d like to do the all wheel drive conversion on my 97 2 door Tahoe, I’m building an Ls 6.0l for it and I have a vortec super charger on the original 5.7l that I’m going to put on the Ls , I definitely think the all wheel conversion would be very cool
Thanks again for the awesome content
Love these projects and the detail in your videos
Perfect combo for any Gm vehicle especially pickup and Tahoe /suburban nice work! Sticky tires would help.
I was waiting for a John Force burn out then a squirt of bleach to remedy that.
Love your videos LT. Keep them coming!
Even with the 4.30s sounds like it still got long legs
I thought it would shift through the gears quicker
Sounds really fun👍👍
yeah, the 1-2 shift is pretty close to 55mph as is
Excellent work as always LT!
I’m always impressed with your level of detail. Thank you for sharing all the knowledge and experience on these builds. Do you have plans to beef up the 8.6” 10 bolt?
I have a 1994 K1500 with a F.I. 383. For years I’ve been kicking around the next power plant & drivetrain to build for it. I’ve contemplated 6.0L-4L80, 8100-Allison, (if I was spending someone else’s money LSX 454-4L80) or maybe Cummins but that would require a straight axle conversion and so much additional weight would negatively impact GVWR.
Seeing your builds, in-depth knowledge and detailed results is helping me decide this future build.
so far, the 10-bolt has a truetrac and 4.30s, but no plans to do anything further, especially since now 38% of the torque will be going to the front which helps take some of the stress away from the rear.

YEEEAHH bOYEEEEEEE!!!! Stoked to see this AWD situation... I suppose we'll see how its done... wonder if you could adapt the transfer case for 73-87 crossmember
I love the way she sounds!!!!!
This truck looks like a lot of fun!
This is awesome been on My wishlist for the longest time. One day!
Haven't been here in a minute but I love the blower!
I have a 2011 Silverado single cab Short bed 2wd4.8 and I'm on my second transmission 245'000 miles this truck has been amazing for what I've put it through and pulled with it . Its best performance is on e85 because it is a flex fuel but anyway this video makes me want to supercharge it and build it up like your setup!
The torque from these LSA setups make them feel like a big block. I bet you can easily run higher timing and gain a ton or power. Every engine is different but I’ve been able to run 15-18 degrees on 91 and have no knock. If you put a larger intercooler reservoir in there it would slow down the IAT gain. My reservoir holds a little over a gallon and my IAT’s don’t climb quite that fast. But my heat exchanger is also a little bigger.
My buddy with a 4.8 lsa setup put out 495 hp to the tires. I think on similar boost as you.
Good job! Sounds awesome and it does great burnouts! Don't get caught by officer friendly! LOL!! Ya need some drag radials dude.
Tune the pcm with the 91octane, then add water methanol injection. It will lower your iat on pumped gas and less work in the long run. I have a kit on my daily tahoe, 5.3 with basic boltons, my iat in summer will go from 50c to 24c at wot. That means I get winter performance all summer long.
Volante makes a nice air cleaner box with a ram air tube out the bottom. Bet you could make one. Would be cool to see the iat difference.
Really like the channel your great.
I love this build so dang much
The wine of that supercharger makes me wish I could afford to do that to my 03 sierra with a 5.3l lol
Gotta love hearing that blower sing
I almost love the sound of the blower more than the turbo spool
This seems/sounds like a Chevy version of the second gen lightning. It makes me happy.
This channel needs more subs! Where are you guys?
My new tailgate latches did that too. I don't have a fix to the latching issue, but if you put a screw driver under the handle you can push left or right (left on the left side, right on the right side) it will force the engagement of the latch. It's part of my locking up routine when I close it lol. Annoying but effective.
I'm guessing with some valvesprings, 7500 will be no problem, will also probably make power that high too with that blower

yup, it told me I'm done
Great stuff as usual LT !
appreciated!
Donuts in the middle of a public road for our entertainment? How irresponsible of you. We love it.
Looks like a lot of fun to drive. Instant torque is the best kind.
Came here for the final reveal, stayed here for them burnouts.
Awesome build and probably the most relatable to most people but I noticed a tower during the burnout when the tailgate came open and it looked like a construction camera or traffic camera hopefully you dont get ticketed for careless and prohibited driving
That tailgate dropped perfectly to hide your plate 🤣

Great burnout at the end
Awesome video, thankyou LT, I personally would like you to stay with the 4.8, once you get your combination dialed in, you will give any 5.3 a run for there money, plus it's different. No point even talking about Ford or Mopar on this one.
Stock for Stock my LR4 gives a 5.3 a run for money already. 2007 Classic.
I love that little truck man!!
That sound is worth 75 rwhp! And that pull you did at a 40 roll (up to 55 of course) looked and sounded great! Can u get 110 or 116 octane at a local track? Well. That may be a little much, but you could help your 91 octane with a bit of that.
Excited to see how your going to do the AWD conversion
actually just finished it up, the upload will be out next week!
amazing content as expected!
thanks!
Great video, we didn't see a dyno run, r u gonna be able to dyno it with the awd conversion?
Sounds like a damn Hellcat. That’s amazing!!!
Love it keep the content coming
We need a LT 'NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT" shirt.
Water/methanol injection would be a great addition to this build IMO.
Hey LT, if you haven't torn the truck down yet Please do a 4WD 0-60 with the 4L60 still in the truck and then of course repeat it with the AWD conversion. I'd be curious to see how much of a difference the lower first and second gears (3.06, 1.62) in the 4L60 does for acceleration vs the 2.48, 1.48 gear ratios in the 4L80 trans.
BTW, nice job in the LSA install, looks factory :)
That is awesome LT 👍😁
You sound great man
the supercharged v8 at redline at 15:00 has me MELTING its so fucking delicious
There’s a theory that you can comparatively get a lot more out of a stock boosted smaller capacity engine before things start to pack it in than from a much larger engine . Unless the rods are a lot weaker you should be able to push them much further and rev them higher thus getting a lot more power.
Need Richard Holdner to destroy a few engines to test this theory.

Advertised HP & trq numbers on a window sticker only tell part of the story.
I worked at a GM dealership when these trucks were being produced. All stock and all other things being equal my experience was a 4.8l would edge out a 5.3l but it was working for it. Increase the weight, load or a few mods and the 5.3l would quickly wake up and out perform the 4.8l
(Tuning, tuning, tuning)
At the same time we would take delivery of back to back SSRs and corvettes with LS2s. The window stickers advertised +15 HP for models with 6 speed manuals but most of the time the automatic’s would run significantly stronger.
I didn’t have a draggy and we didn’t dyno test them so I don’t have actual proof of facts but the seat of the pants feel was substantial.
LT how is your boost curve? Is it a rising curve? I would guess that since the LSA is designed for a larger displacement it shouldnt run out of steam too soon. But in your 4.8 dyno vid the graph seemed to show the cam signs off around 6k. No point in winding it more unless the blower is changing the curve up top. May need a dyno run to see where it really needs to shift
Man you do some clean factory looking work.. question why not get some drag radials for better traction on both trucks?
I absolutely need to get a set
lol I had a 2500 6.0 4x4 with a cam headers and intake and doing donuts had the same thing happen to my tailgate. 😂😂
sounds friggn awesome
I just realized who you are 🤦♂️, (Power nation) truck tech , I said to myself this guy looks familiar 💪👍
