LSA Supercharged 1972 Monte Carlo Hits The Dyno! Will It Survive?

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter introduces a black 1970s Chevrolet Monte Carlo, highlighting its powerful setup: an LSA-supercharged 6.2L engine, a BTR (Brian Tooley Racing) Stage 3 cam, and ID1060 injectors. The primary goal is to establish a baseline horsepower and torque measurement on a dynamometer before replacing the existing 6L80 automatic transmission with a T56 manual transmission, a conversion kit supplied by American Powertrain. The engine previously ran on 10 pounds of boost with pump 93 octane fuel, achieving impressive quarter-mile times in its previous vehicle, a Cadillac Escalade.

Goal: Understand the vehicle's specifications and the project's main objectives.

Tools and materials

  • BTR Stage 3 Cam Brian Tooley Racing — An aftermarket camshaft enhancing engine performance
  • Chevrolet Monte Carlo — The vehicle undergoing testing and modifications
  • ID1060 Injectors Injector Dynamics — High-performance fuel injectors

so what we are going to do today is get a baseline number hopefully with what this 6-2 from the escalade with an lsa on it will make at the wheels through a 6l80 transmission because we have an american powertrain t-56 conversion in the box all ready to go for this car but before we rip it out we want to find out what it does so we can take it back we can find out what the power at the ground difference is from the 6-speed automatic and 6-speed manual we're not going to do any kind of drivability or any tuning of actual tuning other than wide open because all we're going to do is get a power number and then tear this car apart and then it won't matter to mess with transmission shifts and all that because you're going to go in there and turn that segment off once we have the t56 in there that's right for some background
