Default 6.0 to 6.2

Has anyone done this? Chevy has one, making 430 +-. For my limited fun time, no strip for me.

There's another Houston guy on here and he lists his 6.2 as making 330hp. I pmed him that maybe the Chevy counter mag is hp at the crank.
Would I be better served(nonstrip)by a built motor. I'm sure my engine builder would say so!
Thanks guys.

What exactly is the goal? What truck is it going in? Whats the budget? I gotta have as much info as you can get me.


Gm hp rating for the L92 (truck) 6.2 is 403. So roughly 20-25% drivetrain lose?

This Houston Guy knows what he's talking about, Trucks come with Rated HP just because it says 403HP doesnt mean thats what your putting down to the pavement, 403 to the Fly, transfer power to the wheels 330 around 20%-25% loss of power
