with valve springs and some good fuel or meth, over 600rwhp.

there is little point in doing twins if your sticking with a stock 6.0 unless you just want the look of twins. a single t76 works nicely on a 6.0. something a little smaller might be better if you have a stick.

You could ask this question over at tech too. There are some guys with this setup in their cars. I assume you'll at least be putting a cam in it right?

the 6.0l will bolt to either 200r4 or muncie m22(already in the car) so 600hp is my goal, what's cam should i use, and what's the trans that you guy would rather go with, the car will be driven on highway.

if your looking for max hp you can't beat the cmotorsports set up but i dont think they are selling it. the livernois kit is about the same and you can buy one of those.

that is'nt much of an issue unless you drive thru deep water.

i do think the front mount will give you boost sooner and carry the power longer.

I agree except that sucking up water can happen fairly easy if the rains are hard enough and you are boosting high enough. I did it and crushed a ring gap on my 2nd motor. Still ran the 12.3 on the engine knocking like a SOB. Hahaha
