6.0 help
Hey guys I have a 99 sierra 2wd. I bought a tvs1900 and put it on my 5.3. I drove it for to long on the tune they sent with the kit. Finally I decided to bring it into the dyno shop but it was to late. It was very weak so I pulled it over the winter. So now I ordered an stock 05 LQ4 from GM. I also ordered a GT2-3 cam from Lingenfelter. So a few questions here,will my 5.3 ecm work on this motor? And also how do I break this motor in before I bring it to the dyno shop?
Thanx
Thanx

Yes you pcm will work but will need retuned for the 6.0. I have a ?? for you. Unless you got a 50% off deal why would you buy a stock crate engine when you could have had one built for the same price?

I know in my local area used and worn out 6L (150K-300K) sell for $1500-$2500 from the junk yards, last time I priced a 6L from my dealer they were about $3500....so rather than pay $$$$ for a unknown engine a brand new engine sometimes seems like the better deal if you are not able to build your own.

See my problem is I am from Canada and to get one built around here would cost me somewhere in the 4500-7000 range. I guess I thought that it was quite awaze outa my budget so I got a crate from a dealer in IL.

use one of the sponsors to get your base tune down. if you give them the specs they will write a tune in consideration of your cam and blower. then you can have it proofed at the dyno.
