Question: Hey Richard, what are the “BEST” stock heads for a turbo LS? Answer: The ones you have on the motor! ANY set of stock cylinder heads can make 1000 hp with the right turbo! You don’t need ported or aftermarket heads (thicker decks do help sealing though) to reach 1000 hp! Run what the junkyard brung!

LS3 Intake on Cath Port Heads With Adapters! The LS3 intake is arguably the best factory GM intake ever made, but does it work with cath-rec port adapters used for LSA blower installs? Anyone else ever tried or tested this? The answer is it will bolt on, but the LS3 intake with adapters makes less power (by 18 hp) than just running a TBSS or Dorman LS2. I wanted this to work so bad back in 2018 when I tested it, but it just didn’t pan out. Get a cath port intake! Make sure to check out the sales

Car Guy Myth #311. Na Motors Need Back Pressure! Following this logic, if we increase back pressure (resistance to flow) by decreasing exhaust size from 2.5 inches to 1.5 inches, we should pick up power, right? That would be a big negatory, good buddy! Na, blower, nitrous or turbo motors (after the turbo) do not need back pressure, and in fact, are much more efficient sized and designed to minimize or eliminate any back pressure. Pro Tip-Don’t confuse positive and negative pressure scavenging wa

Intake Tech Tip-Single or Dual Plane or something in between? A dual plane with an open spacer usually shifts power slightly higher in the rev range, without costing as much torque down low as the single plane. Of course it doesn’t usually make as much peak power as the single plane either. It’s kinda in between!
