Wondering if anyone else views Cleetus McFarland's videos on YT. Presently watching them build their auction Corvette using mostly junkyard LS engines and blowing-up a few along the way.
Imo, it's just way way too much turbo for that motor. Its rolling over on top not hitting a wall, I think it was just at the limit of the cam/heads at this point. He's using 3 inch pipe, the velocity through it helps with spool too. You could up it to 4 or something with shorties but... I honestly don't think it's going to help too much.Yep, he just upgraded the turbo, and is dealing with turbo lag. He's hoping a bump box might correct it. I think he needs bigger manifolds and pipes.
Yeah, and opening up those ring gaps really helps them stay together longer now.It's amazing what a set of mains will do for longevity.
