building a 6.0 help!?!

[scoggins511]

Got a 6.0 vortec everyone said that you can build them up to 500 hp easy with a lil head work and cam, but what size cam good and what kinda head work need to be done and who can do the head work for a good price in Tn???

We just put a 6.0 from an escalade in a jeep down here, all stock and got 420whp with just a tune..

Not in TN but Lane Culver in Laceys Springs Al is a good one Jimmy at EOR uses him I know he tuned Randall Keys blaze buggy and numerous others

Contact Texas speed and performance they will tell u exactly what you need to hit the numbers very close if not over and yes you can swap cam and do some head work and tune and you'll be 550-600

Damn. What all is done to the motor?

gotta be a typo, or dyno error. 420 wheel hp would be like 500-550 crank hp.

 

[bighook]

do you have an lq4 or lq9? if you have an lq9 you can use a gm performance asa cam with a good tune and be real close to 500hp.

In a car, buggy drive trains aren't that efficient.

Yep, I was being generous, assuming they had used stock size roller tires, single tcase, etc.

Mine just did 315.5 HP and 312.6 TQ at the wheels 03 6.0 LQ4, 4L80 ,241OR 4/10s and 37S with a cam swap, valve springs, headers,10inch TQ convertor tuned on chassis dyno that would be a bad SOB with a little more work

post up the dyno sheet

 

[blackrunner93]

We made 395 whp on Lane's dyno with just HCI. That was with 40's and 4.56's. If you do the math, that's right about 525 hp at the crank at 25% loss... If I can do math. But it'll smoke the 40's down the road anyways. ;D

It ought to be a law on here not to claim horsepower numbers without a dyno sheet posted to prove it,

Everything I have ever seen or read says you lose about 35-40% through the kind of drivetrains we run. Mine through a th350, np205, 4.56 gears, 44"boggers only made like 285Whp. That was on Lane's Dyno when he tuned it. I would like to see some dyno sheets also. I had my heart broke after the rebuild of my motor. I was expecting to see 400 whp or so. Lane directly told me it was a 485-500 hp motor but to bet on atleast 35% loss and 40% if I wanted to be honest with myself.
Mine is only a 2000 LS1 383 stroker and cam build.
