hey i got me a lq9 short block today and im slowly going to build this motor up, any suggestions on what to build it up with? head/ cam combo? etc.? o and i plan on eventually generating a good amount of power out of this, and i dunno if a built 4l60e will hold up, any suggestions?

 

Any n2o or forced induction planned? I would do some research on the L92 heads if you are thinking about staying N/A. They flow very good numbers and their is a ton of good info on them on ls1tech. Get the best heads you can afford and then choose the cam to reach your ultimate power goal.

 

I've done some research, and for the cost (if you're on a budget) the L92 heads don't seem worth it. Plus you have to get the L76 intake too. The 317s flow pretty good too.

Personally I plan on going with a Vinci 210/218 cam for my LQ9, but I want low end torque. I rarely go over 3000rpm.

 

yes sir found some damn good info on this, this is the route i am fixing to go myself after a dyno and a few track times with the setup i have now..


if this is for a truck go with the l92 truck intake, you wont have to change anything. except if youre cable driven then a a modded bracket maybe needed, dunno foresure but i will eventually try this



gonna slap a 232 236 58x 59x lsa10 cam in it ( i think lol ) these are just thoughts. i missed a pretty set of heads today ( dayum)

 

My point was that you can't use the stock 6.0 intake. It's just more cost.

232/236....I'm guessing you don't DD this.

 

well i have a 4.8 in the truck now im about to throw a 100 wet shot on, that i plan on putting on the 6.0 when its done, and its dbw, so whats a good set of heads and cam? im not wanting to break the bank but i want to turn some power, and with that being said will a built 4l60e still hold up?
