Here we go again LOL. Youre gonna have 10 people reply with 10 different answers. Same thing everyone is gonna say, do a search and on each form of FI and see which best suits you. One thing you will find is if you are looking for something with stock like driveability and tons of power down low (great on the street as a DD) get yourself a maggie.

I have a lq4 and it had so much down low, I added a sts turbo hoping to have some lag and pickup power on the big end, but my plan failed as any WOT punch under 60 results in tire smoke. I hope to see 11's with some good tires, but its hard to do with a dd converter that will still tow.

My 02 cents...

YA. well i love tq, i figure if im "racing" it will prob be from a roll or down the highway, so i figure ill be decent lol, but..... im glad to hear the lq4 has alittle more low end grunt, i raced a 6.0 befor but it was a hd idk what motor i was in my gmc, 5.3 cat back, shorties, cai, and super chips and he was intake and catback and some kind of tune and i spanked it bad a quite a few times so i was kinda like blah on the 6.0's but im guessing it was a diff one with all the stuff ive heard about diff ones now
