6.0 LQ9 Headers/Intake/Tune
#1
Just picked up another truck, found it locally for a great price I couldn't refuse.
It's an 06 Sierra Denali AWD fully loaded with just under 100mi on the clock. It's in great shape minus a rusty rear bumper. Previous owner used it for towing occasionally and had a bunch of work done to it in 2013. Just wondering how it all stacks up and what kinda real world numbers its making.
The truck came with all the receipts for the engine/tranny work and it was done at a reputable shop locally, Moretto Motorsportz - Home
Here's the specs:
6.0L LQ9 Vortec Max
American Racing 1 3/4" x 3" Long Tube Headers + Hi-Flow Cats
Fast LSXrt 102mm Intake Manifold
Fast Fuel Rail
Torque Rush X-Link Adapter
AFE Intake
MMZ Corvette Throttle Body
MMZ Custom Premium Fuel Tune
Rebuilt 4L65E with upgraded lube pump, 3/4 clutches and baskets.
The truck runs and drives great, feels like it has plenty of jam... especially with the 4:10 gearing. Tranny shifts good with no flares but feels very firm. Sounds ok, but i'm surprised they left the stock muffler in place.
Here's a few pics:






Running boards have to go, and it needs the front windows tinted. Other than some new wheels I might black out the front grill in the spring. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated!

Yah I even asked him twice about the cam... With all that air coming in a big cam would of definitely made better use of it. Always something I can consider down the road...
