The 'Sloppy Style' Approach to Turbocharging LS Engines

the first video i'm sure so he recommended this one over the the 80 that i had laying around because of of what well uh because of what you described your project to me at uh you know you you said hey we uh i want to start sloppy style i want to not do a bunch of stuff i just want to add the turbo okay um for the last two years i've been kind of going through that whole process with my own tahoe and so having recognized what the 480 first gear ratio changed from the 4l60 to the 480 does and then not realizing the first gear was so different being stuck with the stock converter and then a factory 373 rear axle ratio and realizing that the first three seconds of a drag pass is really non-eventful as a result of having such a tall first gear in the 480 and you know and then taking it putting that place where a 4l60 was with a significantly lower first gear means that you need a converter and you need to change rear axle ratio but you said you were going to do first was not do that you were just going to add the turbo and a lot of people do this okay this is a really popular idea for guys that just want a little more often a tow vehicle they just want a little more power for motoring around town you know they they don't want to run a lot of boost they just want their old 300 horsepower engine to be a 500 horsepower engine yeah and it turns out the chevrolet ellis engines do that really really well just the way they sit so i mean no ring gapping no no anything no change of cam or nothing you can run five or seven pounds of boost on these things and pick up another 150 horsepower and that's probably what you're going to see right away what
