There are lots of LS parts available, and it has never been easier to build real horsepower, but which mods are the ones you should actually spend your money on if you are hopping up a 4.8? Nobody wants to spend money on something that doesn’t make more power right? So if that is the case, do shorty headers actually do anything? Or should you only use them if they are the cheap option for your swap? This video from Richard Holdener is all about the smart mods that you can make to a 4.8L LS engine if you actually want to make power.
Video Description:
HOW MUCH POWER ARE SHORTY HEADERS WORTH? HOW MUCH POWER ARE LONG TUBE HEADERS WORTH? HOW MUCH POWER IS A CAM SWAP WORTH ON A 4.8L? SHOULD I UPGRADE THE TRUCK INTAKE ON MY 4.8L? WHAT HAPPENS IF I ADD HEADS, CAM AND INTAKE ON A 4.8L? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MAKING MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR 4.8L LS MOTOR (WORKS ON 5.3L AND 6.0L TOO). I COMPARED STOCK EXHAUST MANIFOLDS VS SHORTY HEADES AND LONG TUBE HEADERS ON A STOCK AND MODIFIED 4.8L TO DEMONSTRATE THE CHANGE IN POWER ON EACH COMBO. I ALSO COMPARED THE STOCK VS BTR TRUCK NORRIS NSR CAM, STOCK TRUCK INTAKE VS FAST LSXRT AND DEMONSTRATED THE GAINS OFFERED BY UPGRADING THE HEADS, CAM AND INTAKE.
