What kind of power is this combo capable of? Just wondering truck feels really strong. At 13 PSI the AFR is still rich. Gauge only goes down to 10, then just says RCH. I may get away with 15LBS as rich as it is. Im @7000' elevation, and see no kr @ 13psi. My timing is at 15deg. Im going to try to get it to the Dyno next week, but if not it will be after newyears.

I don't know Mark....You have a 5.3 at 10 lbs of boost and a z06 cam right? And you hit 486.
I would say a 6.0 with 13 lbs of boost and a bigger turbo will go mid 500's. But you could be right about the timing keeping the power down.

Thanks! I think alot of the reason it's running so strong is the 50 deg IAT temps. The high to day was 28 deg. I know the timing is too low and the rich AFR is hurting me, but It's safe. Im going to leave the timing and AFR alone, and try 15 LBS. You can get away with 3-4 psi more boost up hear @ this elevation than @ sea level. Draw back is that you need an additional 3-4 to get your sealevel HP back. The cool IAT helps also. How much boost, and timing are you running down there? Thanks, J

Ya, there are stock 5.3's that make over 300HP. The main reason I went with the 6.0 was because I had it sitting there, and it was easier to put a cam & springs in out of the truck. Also had only 40K. Wasn't that much more to swap the engine while I had the trans out. I think the 4L80E is probly robbing every bit of extra power the 6.0 has over the 5.3. A 80E takes like 30 more HP to turn.
