Re: Video clip of 6.0 fun in the snow

We have to move this video back to the top for a while longer as it is the coolest video I have seen on this forum yet. This is just an awesome display of souped up late powertrain at its best mounted in a perfect old iron wraper. I am not sure if most people realize how much work it takes to mount a late model LS1 block into an older chassis, run a high pressure fuel system, let alone work out the calibrations to run a supercharger.

Here is my pathetic video of a carbureted 454HO running balls out while chocked back at about 10,000 ft elevation in the high country of Colorado. Once the naturally aspirated carbureted 454 gets wound up it does alright. This video was taking last year while playing in the snow before I added the SnugTop topper and a ton of other camping and fishing crap in the back. The truck was actually light back then…now I am scared to head out into the really deep snow for fear of a Titanic K10 snow version reenactment.

You can tell the 454 doesn’t sound half as athletic as the supercharged 6.0 in Billjo’s Blazer. That is a true testament of late model engine technology and forced air right ‘der!

I have a marine sequential EFI manifold to screw on to my 454 yet and plan to run a RamJet 502 MEFI 3 wiring harness and controller custom programmed to my 454 specs running on an Aeromotive fuel system but I bet it still will have a hard time matching the HP of a supercharged 6.0L by a long shot. The old statement of no replacement for displacement isn’t necessarily true anymore.

Post more videos Billy! That thing is sweet.
