2005 PONTIAC GTO TSP 427 Stroker Idle Open Headers

[vanessa731cv]

sounds like ur making popcorn

[thedoubleB15]

i fucking love these cars. they should have made them in north america

[hotelmo92]

Ricers are like tampons, every pussy has one.

[mesteelers1991]

America muscle right there! Those shitty ricers are no match

[variofever]

thats a mean ride

[ToArmsInDixie]

Don't let the sporty exterior fool you, there's a beast in there.

[spyderc85]

thats such a awesome sound.

[thinkinginpictures]

I'm suprised you still have the spoiler on that goat. 

[YORKIESSHIZIT]

rev it dumb ass whats the point of listening to this if u dont rev it

[ACHEESEDANISH00]

@YORKIESSHIZIT to hear the AMAZING idle

[Primer9]

@YORKIESSHIZIT lmao

[jerryhowell9]

@YORKIESSHIZIT us car men like the sound of a v8's idle a rev is nice but we like to hear it idle

[RichKilla86ers]

Don't fuck with The Judge

[EvilCheshire2000]

Awesome car.

[frankrizzooo]

I'm a Ford guy but I just cam.....that just has evil all over it, what more can be said other then wow

[wraith221304]

Bla Bla Bla Bla that's all i see what it all comes down to is what does in run at the track?? Please no 1/8 mile that's for wussy's. 1/4 only.

[scottiethebody0]

@wraith221304 thats ignorant because for some people all they might have is an 1/8 mile track. Troll

[mike07gtcs]

@scottiethebody0 agreed

[cjskahan]

@scottiethebody0 Really? I used to live in Illinois where there is no shortage of flat land to lay a drag strip on. Now I live in Georgia, no shortage of 1/4 miles here of course. I certainly don't agree that 1/8 miles are for pussies but I am curious as to where you live that they built a drag strip exclusively as an 1/8 mile track. I'm not trying to rag on you but did they run out of space or what?

[scottiethebody0]

@cjskahan I have 2 1/8 mile track with in 30 minutes. 1 1/4 mile track an hour and a half away then another 1/4 mile track 3 and half hours away. The 1/4 mile track close to me was just recently built and only has test and tune about once every 3 months. Check out Zmax dragway.

[cjskahan]

@scottiethebody0 Dang man, pretty sweet deal. I'm less then five minutes away from Road Atlanta but have nothing I could take to track days sadly. 

[scottiethebody0]

@cjskahan That does suck I like the layout of Road Atlanta was going to goto the Formula Drift even down there 3 years ago but couldn't find anyone else that wanted to go.

[cjskahan]

@scottiethebody0 Heck yeah man, I was there that year, I missed it last year cause I was in the middle of moving but I'm not missing this year. I'd have no excuse, I have only missed 3 Petit LeMans' since moving to Georgia in 1996 and I regret missing all three of them.

[scottiethebody0]

@cjskahan I'd much rather see a lemans race myself

[cjskahan]

@scottiethebody0 It's cool man but Formula Drift is something else, I wish I had seen it when Tanner Foust was on the scene.

[scottiethebody0]

@cjskahan I'm sure they are both a blast to be honest all i've ever been to are Nascar races. Really should make it down there one day.

[cjskahan]

@scottiethebody0 Definitely man, NASCAR is a blast in person. TV will never do it justice, you just can't see how much they slide around on the track.

[sean311973]

what kind of rims ??

[SuperVAIK]

How many rwhp? 700?

[punchmaster123]

3 people drive a nissan leaf

[josh2k4]

FEED IT A HONDA

[mattlinda]

I LOVE THAT STROKER SOUND !!!!!!!!!!

[cbr900rr919]

@mattlinda thats the cam not cause it is stroked. you put a big lift cam in a car with a v8 and it will have the same lopey idle

[ACHEESEDANISH00]

@cbr900rr919 its not the lift thats causing the lopey idle its the duration and the overlap

[OneFastZ06]

Love those billet valve covers!!!

[shifty408]

i think the lawn mower is on

[kickin313]

i cant believe i got rid of my GTO

[BIGTONY2132001]

Cacklin like all hell!

[XIXColemanXIX]

Im gonna be getting myself a nice used car, and was lookin at the mustang charger and gto. The GTO is what i am going with, I like the sleeker look of it. Plus, that just sounds awesome!

[dtfdtf06]

@XIXColemanXIX haha gtos dont sound like that my dude.. 427 haha open headers. i bet that shits real loud leavein a stop light!

[giantj6ft7]

Nice car, but...what'll those lawnmowers do in the 8th mile?

[550HPGTO]

Soo sexy. You have to check mine out. Same color too. =D

[CrackinVTEC666]

im a honda fan because im broke but when i get done school and get into my career field i will own a 06 LS2 GTO with an 88mm turbo

[chevelle454ss1]

What's funny to me is all these noobs asking what's wrong with it is it broken and talking shit about the stripes this car has a built ls3 with a big cam no exhaust straight headers this goat deserves the name judge as it can walk all over anything you guys here have so stop talking shit and enjoy the sound of a true muscle car...

[bellesara03]

makein popcorn

[mcrissjr]

sweet ride, but not a fan of the Judge stickers. Leave that to the real Judge goats.

[cjskahan]

@mcrissjr I don't know sir, I'd agree with you in most cases but this has one criteria covered. The Judge was built to compete with the over the top muscle cars of it's day, it was loud and came in crazy colors and decals. The Goats prior to the judge were sleepers because of their similarity to the Tempest. The 04-06 Goats were styled such that it's easy to underestimate. Imagine pulling up next this, could you not notice it? Then it's a Judge.

[gohabsgo1fan]

i think the idle is just perfect 2 scare the crap out of a yong kid that thinks he all cool with his tille with his little EVO LOL!

[Chrislav7]

What is that poping? Is that supposed to sound good?

[curtmaster3001]

@Chrislav7 the poping is the cam and its SUPPOSED to sound good but your better off doing it with an old car cause it sounds 100x better and its easier

[Psi4tsi]

@Chrislav7 the popping is just the popcorn machine he replaced the engine with...the car isn't actually running....lmfao

That's one bad GTO right there, also not a fan of the judge decals, but to each his own!

[solja239]

i see a custom intake on that, if you dont mind me askin it looks like factory tubing with a k&n filter on it...what size is that filter?

[jimbo98z]

Not a fan of the stickers...

[Enigmalast]

that johndeere sound tough. JK. the gto is the most overlooked muscle car. great engine and beatiful gauge cluster in any car.

[Silverado08JP]

FUCK TSP they fuckin suck i cant wait till i can get a nelson or even a black bear tune tsp. The first time i called they said they only do scheduled appoinments so i sch an appoinment at 930 am and im hauling ass to get there bc i here they will send a person home for being late. I get there and there guy doesnt get there til 1030 so i was like that fine well he says let your truck cool down for a litle that tooke about 45 min and he only ran it on the dyno twice and was like we gota eat lunch

[navyseal1331]

sounds liek butt on the camera

[Ihitaparkedcar]

I could listen to that all day. Sounds great!

[maverick223]

Judge, Jury and Executioner

[kama101]

Is that a signature 2000?

[TheFallguy11]

Sad, very sad bro.

[Codesco2212]

that is by far the nicest one ive seen so far and sounds amazing. i love the white strip down the side and the rims. it makes the car that much better

[Capitalistix]

What Valve Covers are those/ where'd you get them?

[slpcobra1]

Im A Big Mustang Fan But Nice Ride Man

[jerryhowell9]

@slpcobra1 got to love the good ole 5.0's

[tharrington11]

holy shit that sounds nice!

[1967GTO]

Oh my goodness.

[protoballa07]

Sounds like its playing the drums at idle! ha i bet that thing will haul!!! Awesome goat man!

[Blast2hell]

that sounds so good, and your GTO looks really good too.

[cheapstreetr]

you should title this...

Van Halen ...Hot for the Teacher..

nice ...Pontiac

[Parnell50]

what kinda rims are those i wanna get some for my car

[thelevy100]

i love the paint job on the GTO man nice ride

[sabbathofcolorblack]

Sounds like a pro stocker, Badass goat.

[richardman1992]

yeah, swap the wheels for some daisy mags and you're good to go

[AdrianCocaine]

get rid of those rims and throw some deep dishes on that bitch!

[ls1cameric]

Seriously??? You dont remove the headers. He's prolly got cutouts at the collectors so it's just open headers. You should do some extensive research on engines if you dont know what headers are and your wanting to hop up your ride. Good luck... You'll need it.

[marek0086]

cut outs in the collectors?!.... i dont think so!

He's removed the whole exhaust, save the headers.

[ls1cameric]

Not "in", "in front of" the cats... I've run it this way on several of my cars..

Do you even know what an exhaust cutout is? When it's open youre running open headers, when closed, your commision compliant "or supposed to be".

You cant legally run wide open headers I dont care where the hell you live. You can however have a complete front to rear setup with longtubes, cats, full exhaust WITH CUTOUTS and have best of both worlds.

[peak199]

@ls1cameric I run headers into long tubes,with no cats,and no mufflers in my 07 Hemi durango.I drive it everyday! I also have the heads worked,thinner head gasket,after market holley fuel injection,different cam and intake.It is very loud,but I never worry.I live in southwest florida-there are no vehicle inspections here.Anything goes!

[pechugo78]

that sounds like a weed eater

[speeddemonld]

a fart cannon equipped honda is a weed eater. this things eats hondas.

[jakew10]

it sounds like a drag car u dumb fuck

[pivotboy63]

@pechugo78 sounds nothing like a weed eater

[usnavyseals99]

if nobody knows wat these cars r they r the ultimate sleepers...they dont look good, never will they look like fucking grocery getters that your grandma would use but deffinatly dont run like it lol

[SeriesOfTubes101]

I see you have real valve covers and relocated the coil packs... Adjustable valvetrain? Also I'm curious if you don't mind my asking, which block did you use?

[05judge]

It has ABear valve covers. The coils are inside the covers. stock valve train. It was a Texas Speed LS3 stroker. It spun a bearing in it before it even had 6k miles. Would definately not get one from them.

[SeriesOfTubes101]

Ah wow, I'm damn sorry to hear that... What happened, oiling issues? Was the assembly properly balanced, block decked honed and torque plated, etc etc etc? I recently had a 408 built from an LQ9 iron block by LME, I can't wait to get it in the car (2000 SS). I got a quote from TSP, but I opted not to go with them just for the fact that they're mostly a performance shop, not a motor builder. Meanwhile I know someone who has a motor built by LME and the thing is a BEAST.

[05judge]

Well the guy who helped me take it apart checked the clearances and they were pretty loose, and from what he can tell, it looks like whomever TSP has build their motors, didn't polish the crank before installing it. They basically threw it together and it caused the bearing to polish the crank in places and wear them out prematurely.

[SeriesOfTubes101]

Ah man that's a damn shame. Did you contact TSP? I would've demanded a full refund or a brand new motor.

[05judge]

I did the day it happened. They said it was probably my fault and they pretty much didn't want to have anything to do with me. They said they would give me a disocunt on parts to fix it. What's funny is that now after all that, they make the same engine with a 4.07 bore instead of a 4.08 bore, and they supply you with all the breakin oil. Which they didn't used to do.

[blutabu2h]

@05judge oh no what happened??

[jpap967]

@05judge Yeah man, TSP is so sketch. I live here in Lubbock and it never seems like they give a shit to go the extra mile for the customer. They have impressive cars and records of their own, but they lack big time in the customer service department. I dynoed 383 peak whp in my cammed/stalled 05, took it to somewhere else in san antonio and made 430rwhp and much better tq and hp low end as well because they cared enough to even street tune it. Sorry to hear they screwed you over man...

[Bosfootball]

FUCKING SWEEETT!!!!!!!!!!!

[stylin60es]

i second that!

[CYB117]

thats a whole other engine and thats what im going to tell my friend he needs ha

[InfernusEternum]

Dude if its stroked to 427, then what is total cranshaft throw? I know the 4" bumps the LS2 up to like 403 or 404 cubes. My wife is still spooked by the stock 364 cubes lol, Stock, they're pretty nuts... I can only imagine what an extra 80+ cubes feels like!

[SeriesOfTubes101]

The bore/stroke for getting a 427 out of an LS small block is usually a 4.000" stroke with a 4.125" bore.

[05judge]

It was an LS3 stroker, 4.080 bore, 4.1 stroke.

[blutabu2h]

@05judge so its an ls3, not the stock ls2? and by 427, you mean 427 cubic inches??

[xmatt427x]

sicksicksick

[memrylestravled]

Sicknasty!

[rdsimmonds]

With the exception of the Northstar engines, the only OHC V8 that GM has tried it's hand at was the LT5 for the C4 ZR-1. It was a Lotus designed all aluminum, DOHC, 32V, rated for either 350 or 400 bhp. But they lacked low-end throttle response, and were killed off in favor of the LS1 Gen 3 V8.

[alexrex20]

375 or 405hp

[FenderPlayed]

Wait is this SOHC?

[vwgti4]

No In lock, Single

[FenderPlayed]

no in lock? what do you mean?

[rdsimmonds]

I think he meant in block.

[vwgti4]

Yeah ,sorry... 16 valve In Block!

[FenderPlayed]

Oh! haha okay thanks

[CATZR600BRAAAAAP]

Single over head cam.

[pivotboy63]

@CATZR600BRAAAAAP no that motor uses pushrods not an overhead cam

[SnKGoat1]

What make and size are those wheels?

[prdgyair]

haha, with the audio on the camera it kinda sounds like satans popcorn popper!! i bet it's sick in person though!

[usmcpitboy]

The Judge giveth and the Judge taketh away.

[Smthkd]

He's displaying his whips next to the car! LOL! I like the green one~!

[fly58000]

the ride on mowers sound great man , car looks awesome too .

[CodyWilson12345]

I know that man, but when someone refers to a car as "American Muscle", they are speaking of the engine. I just think America had alot more to do with the LS2 in your car than Australia did. (which I think is a good thing)

[05judge]

I do agree. The engine definately makes it American Muscle.

[CodyWilson12345]

It's American muscle. The only thing Australian about this thing is the body. The engine is a Vette LS2

[05judge]

It's American due to the Pontiac badge. But it was built and assembled in Australia also.

[MakinTrouble]

Sounds like the start of Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher".

[djblyss]

Ha ha. That made my day. Thanks.

[chopperguy707]

I just blew my load! SWEET! GTO FTW!

[damiandrifts]

hahahahaha it sounds like popcorn

[frostyadonis]

aussie built american muscle you mean

[elscorcho69]

dude, rev the thing or something, lets see what it sounds like on the street

[Chyne20]

sounds like a..........FUCKIN BEAST MAN!!! Nice ride!!!

[nicks1258]

cause its pure american musccle

[pnoiboi68]

why does it sound like a lawnmower haha

[BMills2488]

hey man just wondering what exactly are cams? and what they do

[pivotboy63]

@BMills2488 the cam is the thing that pushes the pushrods, which push the rocker arms, which push open the valves. the cam has little bumps or lobes on it that push the pushrods

[bigboy45454545]

That's one of the nicest Cavaliers I've ever seen!

[05judge]

HAHA!!!

I still don't see the resemblance. I bet it would be embarassing to get smoked by a cavlier too...

I usually get "Nice Mustang"....Oh well...it's easy enough to read, right on the back of the car....

[Bassmasta94632]

Oh my friend, that car is far from. You see here, this car has an appearance of a 16 year old's first car that daddy bought for him with little mods and thinking that he is a street racer. Well that is wrong. What Pontiac did here is take the 2005 vette engine, transmission, and frame and stuck an Australian body and sent it to America.

[aha20148]

Sounds like hot for teacher

[fossilblue32]

besides the short block and heads, was there anything else that you have to get to put the 427/ls3 in that should be aware of?

[05judge]

Nope, all of your accessories will bolt right up. It was really an easy swap. I just bought the short block, heads, intake, and cam and those were the major components.

Oh and I do have an 8-point cage just sitting in the garage that I will be putting in when I get some time...lol

[sti302man]

have you ever been inside of any car during a hail storm when they hit your roof.lol

that is what your car sounds like my friend.(good God)

+1 for you.

[fossilblue32]

i never really thought that i would be floating around 10's but since i spun a bearing, i gives me a good excuse to get a stroker. i hope you get there and when you do, next mod = rollcage

[fossilblue32]

sounds awesome, im thinking of doing a 418 in my 06 gto, just getting used to the cam specs. that cam is huge but i guess the extra cubes help out.

[05judge]

This cam works great with the L92 heads I have. I'm hoping next spring I can break into the 10's at this altitude and DA. If I do that I'll be very happy.

[fossilblue32]

what size cam are you runnin?

[05judge]

Dur @ .050: 250/266

Lift: 632/632

LSA: 112

[tacoonadio]

yeah i dont like blowers or turbos

i just hope i win the lottery so i can have a vette killer like you

[tacoonadio]

how many horses (at the wheels) in a gto would u consider worthy of the judge badge cuz ur my new hero

[05judge]

LOL...thanks. I honestly can't answer that question. I think one qualification should be N/A though.

[CAMAROZ28AQUINO]

thats a shit load of valve overlap, must of been a tough one to tune

[05judge]

Yeah it took a full day on the dyno. Now I'm just looking for a little more power in it because it's running a very safe tune right now.

[dajudge1969]

that is sweet what did u do to improve the driveline, is it a stick or auto? what did it put down for power?

[05judge]

It's an auto with a 5k stall. I still have the stock drivetrain other than the stall.  It made 502rwhp/444rwtq.

[dajudge1969]

I keep going back to this vid, sounds awesome man, dont be so calm on the tune that engine should throw out 550hp to the tire

[05judge]

I think if it wasn't an automatic it would be well beyond 550whp.

[dajudge1969]

Definatly, auto is the way to go though, less abuse on driveline ect, and consistancy is there as well, my clutch car is a ton of fun though althoug you have me beat on the power side by over 20hp.

[pivotboy63]

@dajudge1969 ya but auto wastes a little bit of the power from the engine, with stick you get all your ponies out

[jkheslekrants]

I prefer my manual tranny as well but being that it is an automatic it isnt gonna effect the power output and it'll absorb minimal amounts more power than a manual when it comes to puttin it to the ground and if its built right it'll shift quicker and more precise than any human ever could.

[VirkDS]

That thing is great man no lie

[UnderJOath]

Hahah very nice. Sounds like a mean sonofabitch. Get a video up there with a couple revs. I've seen the dyno vid but it doesn't do it justice Im sure. Nice numbers btw.

[kc2giw]

I'm shopping around for a big inch bottom end...how happy are you with the TSP block so far?

[05judge]

SO far it's been great. It's very good quality and they use very good quality internals. I would definately recommend them.

[kc2giw]

SO you went with the 4.1" stroke crank? Not planning a power adder?

[Carlosxisxthexsex]

its 4 inch stroke crank with a 6 inch rod and 4.125 bore

[kc2giw]

False. Not possible with an L92 block.

[Carlosxisxthexsex]

well that how it goes buddy

[05judge]

It's actually a 4.08 bore with a 4.1 stroke.

[Carlosxisxthexsex]

i guess its different than using a 400 small block

[05judge]

The LSX blocks are a lot different than the standard chevy blocks. Especially the aluminum blocks. They are all sleeved and the only way to punch them out much bigger than the stock bore sizes they have to be resleeved.

[Carlosxisxthexsex]

i got used to the old school stuff

Now im learning the new ls1 ls2 and so on.

Thanks for the correction and info its always nice to know =]

[mpz24]

awsome. sounds sick

[roswald0511]

HOLY SHIT
