LSA Silverado makes INSTANT BOOST: first full throttle rips = body damage

It's time to go Wide Open Throttle with the LSA supercharged Silverado! The build has been done for about a week, but I had to install caltracs and a corvette servo in 4L60 transmission before I dared to go wide open throttle, but now that it's all done, we can start WOT tuning with the LSA blower! The baby 4.8 is making about 14 psi of boost and it sounds amazing under full throttle, but the best part is how instantly the boost comes online when compared to a turbo setup. The throttle pedal is now like a light switch, and the boost comes up in a hurry.

    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

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.

It's part of my locking up routine when I close it lol. Annoying but effective.

    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.

  • @LawrenceTolman

    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

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!

    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.

    Hey I love your videos! I have an 07 newer bodystyle z71 single cab with a 5.3 and wondered whats the best rear diff option to replace the g80? Truetrac, detroit locker, or other lsd?

    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.
