5.3 vs 6.0
 

Ok iv got all the bolts ons I think I can do to my truck right now but just have been fighting traction. Have caltracs coming so that's gonna help me launch better . Last weekend I ran a couple times at the track and on motor it ran 14.49 with a 2.09 60 ft I believe. On 100 shot it dropped to 13.69. I have to spray once I have solid traction. So my question is once I get good traction what should I be looking for with the 5.3 and what would a stock lq4 swap do for those times. I'm really debating on if it'll be worth my time. Thanx

My mods are Cai, efi live tune, lpp lts and ory, short magnaflow, 4.10/g80, circle d 3-3200, shift kit and servos e fans. Think that's it.193xxx miles

You need to cam that thing.. It will make 1 hell of a difference.. There is no reason why you should go high 12's with a cam'd 5.3 on a 100 shot..

Yea iv also been thinking about that but I just wanna know what 6.0 would do with that same setup. I would most likely cam the 6.0 too. But I won't predictions of what a stock one would do.

the larger cubed 6.0 would be your best bet. you got alot of miles on that 5.3 and i think it would be better just to swap in a cammed 6.0 and really let er rip. the 6.0 would provide more low end torque and you can still cam and spray it on the top end and have a monster truck for cheap. used 6Ls are all over the place, check the junkyards and pick one up.

I'm sure the 6.0 would prolly drop .3-.5 if you drop it in stock but I would throw a mid 220s cam in with the converter you got and have a lot faster truck

Just need a good cam in the 5.3
