S07E02 · Slant-Six Manifold Shootout!!

Apr 08, 2022

Driven by lunacy as much as novelty, Dulcich is at it again with his slant-six tomfoolery. With goals of his 225ci monster powering a daily driver '68 Dart, Steve is putting four aftermarket intake manifolds to the test to see what will give him the most grunt. But can Steve "RPM" Dulcich see past the peak horsepower to the meat of daily driver torque? Probably not, but we'll find out this time on Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL.

S07E03 · Rectangle vs. Cathedral Ports for LS Power!!

Apr 15, 2022

We're talking an OEM used parts comparo, abundantly plentiful in the junkyards and classifieds. This debate has raged in the LS community for years, and we're here to show you the difference in power potential between a dime-a-dozen cathedral port and the "racier" rectangular ports found on the LS3. The rectangles have bigger intake ports and flow numbers, bigger valves, and bigger chambers, but what does it all add up to? Come find out this time on Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL.

The Battle of the Gen III Hemis!!
S07E04 · The Battle of the Gen III Hemis!!

Apr 22, 2022

The new Hemi has a new Hemi, but is it any better than the old new Hemi? That's right, we're battling two iterations of the 5.7 III Hemi, the '03-08 vs. the '09-current, and we're learning a TON in the process. With an eye toward engine-swap simplicity, we've stuffed them both with the biggest cams they can handle and managed fuel and spark in the most affordable way possible for each. The only thing left to do is decide how you want to spend your hard-earned Hemi-swapping dollars. Let us show you the way this time on Engine Masters presented by AMSOIL.

May 06, 2022

It's the age-old battle of power vs. price, but is it as simple as all that? Are you really giving up significant power by choosing a solid flat tappet, or is the extra power of the hydraulic worth every penny? Join us this time on Engine Masters presented by AMSOIL as we talk duration, lobe intensity, spring pressures, dollars, and horsepowers.

Manifolds or Headers for Your Turbo LS?
S07E07 · Manifolds or Headers for Your Turbo LS?

May 13, 2022

Are your cast manifolds enough to keep up with your turbo motor? And at what point should you be running proper headers? Those are the questions we're asking this time on Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL. Using a typical mill you'd find in a turbo street car, we're running our 630-hp 5.3 LS with factory exhaust manifolds and again with turbo headers to show you the differences in boost, backpressure, and horsepower.

Does Fuel Temperature Matter??
S07E08 · Does Fuel Temperature Matter??

May 20, 2022

One fuel, two fuel, hot fuel, cool fuel. If you think that was a mouthful, just wait until you hear what our guys have to say in this one. Inspired by the learnings from Episode 43's study on coolant temperature testing, we're going one step beyond icing down the manifold. This time on Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL, we're deliberately heating and cooling our fuel to see the difference it makes to the tune and the power output of our Ultimate Average 383.

S07E09 · Measuring the Max Wedge for a Street 440

May 27, 2022

The Mopar Max Wedge head was once considered all but unobtanium. The aftermarket has finally come to the rescue, making Max Wedge heads that are both available and affordable. This time on Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL, we've got an example of a 270cc Trick Flow unit to see if the Max Wedge style, with its bigger intake runners and more direct flow path, are really a worthwhile upgrade for YOUR typical street/strip big-block.

Do Header Wraps Work?
S07E10 · Do Header Wraps Work?

Jun 03, 2022

You've seen them all over. On vintage race cars, trophy trucks, motorcycles, and even-for some reason-street cars. They're header wraps, and manufacturers claim they not only reduce radiant heat, but create additional power through their scavenging effects and superior heat management. Is any of it true?? We'll find out this time on Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL, as we test a set of painted, ceramic-coated, and wrapped headers against one another on our Ultimate Average 383.

Which Ram? All the Rams?!
S07E11 · Which Ram? All the Rams?!

Jun 10, 2022

So you've got an LS and you need to make a choice on an intake. Chances are high you're looking at some version of Holly's "Ram" Intakes, whether it's the long runner Hi-Ram, the Mid-Rise, the compact Lo-Ram, or the hood-clearance-friendly Ultra Lo-Ram. This time on Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL, we line them up one by one on our 550 rectangle port headed 6.2-liter LS to help you decide which power curve is best for you. But fear not, cathedral-headed LSers, this test applies for you, too.

Manifold Shootout for the Carbureted LS Crowd
S07E12 · Manifold Shootout for the Carbureted LS Crowd

Jun 17, 2022

It shouldn't be hard to believe, but there are plenty of folks out there opting to run a carburetor on the new-fangled LS. So many folks, in fact, that even after whittling down the offerings, we still have six different manifolds to sandwich between our old-school carb and our new-school 6.0 LS. This time on Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL, we not only show you the differences between these popular manifolds and test the power they make, but also how to get your LS running with a carb as easily as possible. We've got a lot of pulls to make, so let's get started.

Exhaust Cutouts
S07E13 · Exhaust Cutouts

Jun 24, 2022

You've seen them around for years, you may have considered running them, you may even have them on your car right now. But do exhaust cutouts really serve any purpose beyond rattling the drums out of passersby's ears? Well, proponents have always claimed they make your car faster, but this time on Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL, we see how they stack up against a full exhaust and a header extension behind our heavy-breathing 598-cubic-inch Big Block Chevy. We run them in multiple positions as well as both open and corked to see just what effect they have on power...

Low Buck SBC Head Shootout
S07E15 · Low Buck SBC Head Shootout

Oct 07, 2022

No matter how many LS swaps are out there, the old-school SBC is still an absolute force in the marketplace. This time on Engine Masters presented by AMSOIL, we're bolting three of the lowest buck cylinder heads out there to our Ultimate Average 383 and making pulls for power.

Pick-a-Carb Shootout
S07E16 · Pick-a-Carb Shootout

Oct 14, 2022

This test is all about choosing the features you want and need on your carburetor, and how those features affect your horsepower and tunability. Do mechanical secondaries really make any more power than vacuum-power ones? Does a choke horn restrict inlet airflow? We'll help you decide what's best for your application this time on Engine Masters presented by AMSOIL.

Single Pattern vs. Split Pattern Cams
S07E17 · Single Pattern vs. Split Pattern Cams

Oct 21, 2022

Same test, new twist. We've tested single V-split pattern cams before on Engine Masters and concluded that a split pattern can increase top-end power without necessarily affecting bottom-end torque. Well, our findings have been challenged, and we're here for the science. The accustion: Our last test affected overlap, which supported torque. The solution: a retest using a split-pattern cam that has extra exhaust duration and no change in overlap from the single pattern. If that was an earful, you'll definitely want the details inside this time on Engine Masters ...

Oil Pumps for Power?!
S07E18 · Oil Pumps for Power?!

Oct 28, 2022

We all know oil pressure is critical. Not enough can leave you broken, and too much can have you springing leaks. But can too much also be robbing precious horsepower? To find out, we test three commonly ordered LS oil pumps in different volume and pressure configurations to find if oil pumps can in fact be enough of a rotational drag to affect your power production. Find out this time on Engine Masters presented by AMSOIL.
