Do the 6.0. N/A or boosted, it will be better.

 

whys it so much better

 

Yea Im kinda curious to know also why people thinks its better for both N/A and FI. I've been wondering lately of the 6.0l is over-rated....

 

* if the 6.0L is over-rated....

 

Pretty simple, it's bigger. You get more power and torque for the same weight. 366 cubes vs. 325 cubes.

A nice Ly6 6.0 would be the best IMO.

No replacement for displacement. Also less valve shrouding with the bigger bore.

 

My buddy has a 99 Silverado it had a 5.3 with a mild TR cam, shorty headers, and tuned for E85, At 200,000 a compcam valve spring broke(only 35,000 miles of use on the springs) in the 5.3. So we put in a stock LQ9 with the same shorty headers and running on E85, no cam. The 6.0l is around .75 quicker 0-60 and has way more lowend torque. The 5.3 struggled to spin his 285s from a stop, even with a yank 3000 converter and the 6.0l will break them loose at a 15mph roll.

 

Hmmm that sounds like a big difference, why did he run shorties instead of long tubes

 

He didn't know any better at the time he bought the shorties. The plan is to put my LT's on his truck when I turbo mine.

 

oh ok I was gonna say I thought long tubes were better but I didn't know if they were better for turbos or not
