Engine Masters (2015)

Episode Overview

These days, the turbocharged GM LS-Series V-8 is the engine package to beat. While many enthusiasts have successfully taken a 4.8L or 5.3L from a junkyard, cranked up the boost, and hit 1,000 hp, what if you’re looking for a more balanced approach? This episode of Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL, explores how to achieve impressive power without sacrificing reliability, making it suitable for daily driving on pump gas. We’ll break down our budget choices and explain why we opted for certain lower-power components as we unleash remarkable performance from a 5.3L with a single turbo, using 91-octane fuel and stock heads.
