Whipple Blown 8.1L V8 Chevy Silverado Dyno Tuned
This is first time seeing one of the 8.1L Vortec V8s done as a swap. Add in a Whipple Supercharger and you have one rowdy Chevy Silverado! Wait until the end to see the before and after once the truck is able to breathe a bit with no restrictions.

It really is a shame there is so little aftermarket support for 'ol FatNasty'. I know the the 8.1 is one hell of a workhorse, but the raw displacement of this engine deserves better IMO. GOOD TO SEE someone put some love into one, if nothing else, showing what they 'could' be with a bit of ingenuity, fab and a bit of dyno-time!
We need 20 psi on full e85. Do it for the tube
Tapping the gas in that thing must be like getting punched in the back.
That 8.1L Vortec music, no replacement for displacement. 🤤🤤🤤💯💯
8.1 liter 😂😂😂
Awesome build glad to see someone switching it up not a typical LS and going with the forgotten L18 496ci
Are the heads stock, swapped or ported? I've always been curious about 8.1 builds and how they're approached since they're not common in the aftermarket. Very cool truck!
Does the owner of the truck have a channel?
Dammm monster
Awesome that it’s not a ls. Big block torque for the win!
I hunt every year out of a Chevy 2500 with the 8.1 and a 5 speed Alison, absolutely love it.
I just had to pause at
That cowl induction hood is just the coolest thing…
Been following this truck since it was on trucks on tv use to be local to me always loved this thing
Love the truck! Build! I just bought a 2012 Silverado. V6, auto. 2wd. I want the 8.1 in my truck. However. I bought the truck as a project truck. Converting from 2wd to 4wd. Old school solid axel swap. This motor will be bad ass I believe in my set up also. Thank you for the video!
Glad to see this truck is still around. I have some pics when seen it at danz
Ok, i clicked because I seen 8.1/496 Gen 7 BBC Whipple.....but god damn that Silverado is dope.... soon as he racks the throttle and i see that awesome, custom cowl intake move with the throttle I was drooling 😅
Very impressive and well done. Would love to meet in Texas and run her with my built 550i. Similar dyno results from blood sweat and tears lol
Really wanted to see under the hood. Cool looking truck.
Bro that induction hood sick as fuck
