N/A 408 stroker lq9 expectations
I’m currently in the process of building a lq9 stroker and I was wondering if anyone could give me any idea of their reliability, recommendations, and fuel mileage. I understand that it’s a high displacement engine not a Prius, but I’m hoping to see at least 10mpg tuned. My truck is a 03 Sierra 1500 ext cab with a 3” lift on 33s with 3.73 gears and 1 3/4 long tubes and a flow master 40 series currently and here’s some of my parts list:
Gen 3 408 short block from TSP
TSP N/A bald eagle cam
Yank TT3000 stall
stage 2.5 5.3L heads with PAC .660” dual springs
factory rocker arms with CHE bushings
holley mid ram Intake
lsx e-fan harness and e-fan setup
gm high performance oil pump
rollmaster double roller
ls7 lifters and trays
the truck will never see a track but I do like to show out from time to time, and I do mild off-roading.

see what concerned me with the fuel mileage is that my factory lm7 5.3 gets 10mpg on a good day but it’s at 189K and hasn’t been tuned so I was hoping that was the issue

I hope so. I’ll be happy just to see double digits tbh I’ve done learned to balance my checks around it

Your trucks all probably weigh more than my reg cab long bed 2500, and bigger tires and gearing also make the comparison even more apples to oranges, but here goes. I have been driving around N/A all summer and I get almost 14 mpg on the highway. When the blower is on it doesn't change the highway mileage anyway.
