Off the bottle, my SS with cam only and bolt ons runs better than quite a few Radix'd SSs. No, it doesnt have that high torque under 3000 rpms like a radix. But I only see those low rpms once per race, so that torque is wasted after launch.

I would guess 360 - 395 at the wheels, depending on how big the cam you pick will be, and how much the 4l80e sucks up.

My guess would be similar to this although closer to the lower side since the 80 sucks up more power than the 60. I would like to see a N/A 6.0L get to the 400 rwhp mark though, I am sure it can.

I'll be shooting for it within the next few years. I like N/A, mainly because of the piecemeal work you can do.

I'll stop modding the motor when my truck wheelies.

Some of us honestly can't (or REALLY don't WANT TO) spend $5K at one time....I make pretty good money and have great credit but sometimes spending $1-2K at a time is easier on the finances (and the relationship.....)

I know what N/A stands for, duh, not applicable , it was the piecemeal comment.
Just cause I spent my 5k on the Radix, doesn't mean I liked it. Unfortunetly I'm constrained by the damn CARB so that narrows my choices considerably.
It's all relative anyway, your 1-2K is another mans 5K.
Again, sorry if I upset you in anyway Yelo, just my bad attempt at humour I guess.
Hopefully, if I'm ever out to Death Valley, we can have and talk trucks

Yup, you hit that nail on the head!

I really can't picture myself dropping 5K for a S/C or turbo. If I'm dishing out that kind of money, I'm usually buying a dirtbike or used motorcycle. Like moregrip said though, I guess the money thing is all relative... I kick myself for spending $600 at times.

I think you may need a little more cam. My 6.0 with heads and a 224/228 585 lift made 375 unlocked.
