Turbo LS-What LS Motor should I pick? The two most common junkyard LS motors are the 4.8L and 5.3L since these are the base motors. HD and 2500-3500 Trucks (AKA 3/4 and 1 ton) got the 6.0L, but those are fewer and far between (but can be had). For sub 1000-hp turbo LS builds, the 4.8L and 5.3L will easily get the job done with the right cam, Springs, injectors and gap. Of course the turbo must be sized for the power output (think G42 for 1000 hp). The 4.8L requires more boost to reach the same p

OG 5.7L LS1 Mods! Hey Richard…why don’t you ever do a video on the OG LS1? Actually, I have done many, but here is a quick test on what happened when we ran an LS1 with a mild Comp XR265 cam and @vortechsuperchargers at 10 psi. Nice gain of over 230 hp from boost! Check out @richardholdenerperformance for more cam, boost and fuel options (best deal@going on 1000cc injectors). Also check out @briantooleyracing @afr_heads @scatcrankshafts | Richard Holdener

Who wants a good deal on an LS cam! Add 50 hp with the Ripper Jr. or 75 hp with the Truck Plus. Both are on sale now -save $26 on the Ripper and $30 on the Truck Plus. Either can take you past 1000 hp with our G42 turbo and 1000-cc injectors. Go to richardholdenerperformance.com for the great deals. Don’t mind me or my Sham WOW persona-just over at Westech installing a Haltech Rebel LS EFI on the 5.3L L33. That’s how we do it! | Richard Holdener

Do you really need to run a Gen 4 LS when running boost? Today we show the Gen 3 LS Turbo some Love! Can you make big power with the Gen 3 LS motors? Yes-we made 1582 hp before disaster struck, but easily made 100 runs over 1000 hp! I don’t recommend running 1500 hp on your Gen 3, but they work perfectly well on sub 1000-hp turbo LS builds (with adequate ring gap). The full vid on the Gen 3 6.0L (2000 LQ4-thnx Chad Reynolds) has been up for years, but go check it out. It you want to build a twin

How to add 50 hp to your LS for $159! Check out the new Lil RHiPper cam @richardholdenerperformance ! The cam adds 50 hp (see graph), has less chop than our Low Buck Truck and is on sale right now for just $159! This cam will need springs ($79) and likely injectors (50 pounders on sale right now) cuz it adds so much power! Supply is limited so get in on this while the gettin’ is good! FYI-Like all my offerings-I have tested this cam several times on the dyno! | Richard Holdener
