dunno less 1k

i run a stock lq9 and been in the 10s for the last few weeks on a 100 shot, making at lease 6-8 passes a night, and deffinitely not afraid to push it to a 200 shot

Jon ( DBrods ) has given me hope lol on his stock short block juicing it with a 200 shot and occassionally a 250

A stock 6.0 could handle a 150 shot all day.

If it were me, I'd go ahead and get 408 cubes.

Yes bone stock.. The tuning of it plays a big role in how long it will take that kinda shot. But if you want to for ***** and giggles by a kit, throw the jug on it, hit it with 125 all day.. Stock everything engine is good to 650-700 hp, has been proven they will take more then that..
