how much more potential is there with the 6.0 as opposed to a 4.8 or a 5.3?

When I swapped the 5.3 for a 6L I noticed a considerable SOTP difference down low.

well lets say you do a cam and all supporting mods (bolt ons, tune) to the 4.8 and to the 6.0 side by side, how much more is the 6.0 going to be putting out?

i went 4.8 to cammed 6.0.its very easy just get 02 or newer 6.0 so the crank will work and you get the aluminum heads for the motor.i bought mine complete for 1000 at a local salvage yard.changed brake plug on back of intake and oil blockoff platefrom4.8 because 6.0 had oil cooler but it bolts right on.changed the motor in 8.5 hours bye myself but i had a rack to lift the truck so that helped.everything plug right in.DO IT!
