Hey guys I know I always come here to read about everything and everyones opinions. Looking for Cr numbers and how much boost the run on lq9, lq4, 6.2, 5.3, ls1, 4.8?? I am about to buy a new engine for my turbo single cab 06 chevy. I would like to see how much daily driven boost all the engines will handle, with mild mods like arp bolts, and cam swap maybe.

 

Don't go over 7 if you want to stay safe.

 

Thanks for the reply, but but I'm really looking for is what engine should I buy to put down the best numbers with a turbo kit, circle d stall and built 65e tranny?

 

anyone feel free to chime in with there ideas i think i leaning toward a used lq4.....

 

Best bang for the buck and strong? Here you go...

Stock 05 or newer (better rods) 5.3, ARP head studs. LS6 cam and springs, Master power T70 turbo Q trim with .96 a/r (coming soon!), Boost it to 15psi with a GREAT tune and drive the crap out of it, lol.

Stock 4l80e tranny with shift kit, stock sized "remaned" to 2500 converter. Should never break it.

Drive it like you stole it!!

 

Yea that does sound LIKE some big big fun..... But what if i did the same thing to a lq4 ???? But what you were saying is that the 5.3L engine 05 and up has different rods??

 

lm7 is cheaper....good bang for the dollar

 

Yeah Alot cheaper 6 Liters are awesome and nice to have , but not really needed to make awesome and sick power for a DD when forced induction is used Oh and Kyle is a great guy to deal with!!! He has answered many of my questions and i WILL be getting a kit from him soon..sorry i have not ordered yet but my Central heat and ac unit took a Sh** so turbo fund took a big hit

 

yeah....lm7's put heads n an tr 220,918 spring n a good intake n a good tune frm nelson..u be keepin up with the big boys

 

Well I already had a 5.3 with a sts kit but my friends at the tranny shop decided to blow it up for me. It was just a stock 06 rcsb with a 5.3. So now I kind of want something different r better. Allen at Futral motorsports tuned it, it made 408 rwhp and 396 rwtq. Mite take this sts off and do a big cam motor. Just wanting to see what everyone thinks what they are doin I know kb front mount is pretty awesome.
