Thanks Richard, man that compression with direct injection is the cats meow. Can’t wait to see more testing.

Keep this series coming sir! Would love to see a video on the piston "notching" for the stage 4 camshaft!

One of my fave channels. Given me a ton of knowledge to do my 5.3 build.

thanks Richard, excited to see more gen V content

Ive been holding off on modifying my 15 sierra till you did some more l83 videos. Cant wait to see whats next

I would say definitely on the stall converter speed. most of these 5.3's are going to be in trucks. Also, it greatly helps in drivability.

Just found your channel and found it very informative. I have a 2019.5 silverado RST 5.3L 4x4 with 2" leveling kit, wide stance, and more less a wind tunnel disaster. I have been looking for a tow setup video. Last yr we pulled a 4500lb camper through the hills and several times I found that I was running 4800 rpm's (normal is 1900 @ 70mph empty) for an extended time. This truck is my daily driver so I don't need anything radical but a little more low end power would be fun. Hoping to find a DIY setup. Thanks, if you have a chance to make us truck owners a tow/haul improvement video.

Finally some Gen V testing! I have one in the garage, apart at the moment.

Man i was so excited about this engine that i immediately clicked on their link to find it so i could but it, but unfortunately they want close to 5k for this engine with no warranty at all😞 It's listed 'as is no warranty". That sucks because I'm trying to find a good powerful 5.3l engine to replace the one in my Yukon XL and i thought that I'd found the perfect set-up but the "as is" thing killed it😂

Do you flow ported heads or just hog them out and call it good? I'd like to see some videos on head comparisons

You should test the LT2 intake manifold and 95mm tb in place of that msd intake manifold. The MSD manifold is stupid expensive and at that point, boost with a Holley high ram is more desirable.

Love the content. I’d like to keep my gen V l83 around since it’s a 2016 gmc Sierra Denali with the dreaded afm. What is the best kit with the most reliable setup with a little more power but again more reliable.

Now I'm tempted to pull the turbo L59 (gen 3.5 5.3) out of my fox and put one of these in. I need to drop weight off of the nose since I find myself using it for autocross. Similar power, lighter weight, less heat. I've heard something about the Gen V 5.3 cranks not being machined for a pilot bushing or something. I'd need to solve that issue before I commit. I'm on Holley Terminator X so I'd just need to upgrade to the new model that runs the Gen V.

Stage 3 cam? Duration seem too low for a stage 3 cam. Is that cam phaser the same as 4th gen cam phaser? Because it looks alot like the one I took out from my car and replaced it with a compcam one.

Great video !! Thanks Bro!!

When will you put a turbo on the new gen v stuff? I got an lt1 6.2 im planning on pushing to 1000.

My serpentine belt is only turning the alternator and that’s it. I’ve got an electric motor for the power steering and like I said before hookups for an electric water pump.

How much power were you getting from varying the cam with the BTR cam? Was this all stock ECU tuning? This would be really attractive with a Holley. Supposedly those blocks are really tough, going to be VERY interested to see this run forced induction. Something with port injection on top of stockish sized DI maybe? These are DI right?

I think there's room for a bigger intake valve. Stock valve is 49mm, if I'm remembering correctly. Should be able to fit a 50.8mm valve in.

I picked up a low mileage L83 with low compression on #4 cylinder. I am hoping it's a DOD concern . The stage 2 camshaft seems like a good choice. Should I limit the VVT or leave it as is .

For you to get 385 hp from a sbc 350 you’re looking at $500 for the block $2000 for a good set of heads. $800 for the complete cam kit and $400 for an intake.
