Whats the approximate power limit of the M122 supercharger? Could it get a Gen III LS to 800HP-1000HP. Provided that the camshaft, exhaust, intake, and tuning is correct? I realize that it would be hard for a 4.8LS to reach 1000HP or even 800HP (if even possible). As much as I like immediate response of Roots style superchargers the boost can't simply be turned up like with turbochargers. Thanks for any thoughts.

I thought my m90 swap was a pain in the ass, yours was worse. I bought an adapter plate to mount the m90 to a Holley lo ram manifold. I cut my m90 with a sawsall and it took more than an hour. I ported the m90 and had 1 90 degree 4 inch tube tig welded to it and had to have another 45 degree 4 inch tube welded with v band clamps so I could attach the throttle body. I had the silencer ports welded shut by the same guy that welded the 4 inch tube on the blower. I had to buy a custom 2.55 inch supercharger pulley from Nathan Herbst of smoothflow pulleys which had the ribs going to the edge because of a belt misalignment. I have a 7.4 inch ATI balancer and I think I'm spinning the blower at like 20,800 rpms. the hottest I've seen it get is 161 F. this is on my 6.0 LQ4.

A lot of people dont know that back in the day Ls engines werent cheap and everywhere, because all the junkyard units you can grab for a few hundred bucks were still on the road lol. And i did this similar style build in 2006 when i drove my 98 v6 camaro with no oil in it. It was winter, i slid off the road and a branch went all stab happy on my oil pan😮 So i went to the local yard with a shopping list and i got the L67 heads, intake, m90 mighty weez, and shoved all the sensors / injectors into my pockets because the brole struggle was real back then. So my short block was being rebuilt while i tried to figure out what the hell i was going to do for an intake elbow as i didnt want to cut a hole in my fire wall and have the air filter where my radio was. Then i remembered that Australia exists and their Holden rwd cars used the l67 with an intake elbow perfect for my purposes. Now this was asi said back in the day but ebay was a thing and the internet in general allowed commerce between continents so youd have thought finding a used intake elbow from down under would be relatively easy buuuuuttttt noooooo. It took months to find one and then work out how to get it from the land of all things dangerous and or poisonous and when it finally showed up it was cracked and just a PIA. So i took it to a local welder who was able to zap it and make it not be a giant leak. And just as that was done my short block was also done. So with refreshed heads, a smaller pulley, and an OG megasquirt i set to making my 3.8 dreams come true 😂. All said and done it made 302 hp at its 16in tires, after having demanded its tribute of about 5 months of my life and way more money than most 5 or 600 hp junkyard ls builds do today. Torque was good to at 338lb ft and the T5 transmission never even blinked outside of me smoking the original at the time 98k mile clutch before the swap. Its been so long that im pulling the motor just to freshen her up and seeing what i can do with the supercharger as the eaton huff and puff is about maxed out and ive since started building speeduino ecu's which beat megasquirt out in every measure i care about including how powerful the hardware is.

Starter is on the same side of the block between front and rear wheel drive. The blocks are identical regardless of front, rear drive or NA or supercharged
@@hackjobhotrodshop5075 are you serious? I've never seen a gm fwd engine with the starter located in the same side as a gm rwd engine. How you manage that?
@@hackjobhotrodshop5075 i have a 3400 gm fwd v6 and a 3.4 Camaro V6 and both starters are on opposite sides so please prove me wrong.
@@terrencehall7264 this is a 3800, not sure if this applies to 60 degree GM v6 but I absolutely took a 3800 out of a gtp and put it in a firebird.
@@hackjobhotrodshop5075 i have a l36 from a Monte Carlo SS and the starter is on the opposite side of the l36 that comes in the Camaro. The reason being that the fwd transmission is on the left side of the engine when you stand facing the front of the l36 engine, meaning the timing chain cover, waterpump, alternator etc. on the rwd l36 engine the starter is on the right side of the engine. But you may have an engine that has provisions for a starter on both sides of the l36 block. I don't know of any such provisions,. But i am aware of starter relocation kits for 3.4 Camaro engine to Pontiac fiero cars.
I thought about do this to my 89 IROCZ at the time. My grandmother was selling here GS regal but I never actually pulled the trigger on it.
Can’t wait to see it in action.
Looks nice! Are you from Michigan?

Thank you very much for testing gravity again I was thinking it was no longer around however, you proved it
Umm on your idle setting in hptuners it lets you set the idle booth with and without the AC on
Yeah, but unless your air flow tables are correct it won't let you go into AC mode where it bumps the idle
