my uncle has a 6.0L 2001 chevy. he wants more power. he has dual exhaust and no cats allready. other then that the truck is stock.
please help me get him more power with out spending alot of cash.
are there any freemods for the trucks? and he wants to spend 1000 bucks so tell me what you would buy and what brand please.
thanks alot.

 

I'd probably do LS1 edit($550) with a mild cam package ($350-$450) or with a mild converter ($450+). Or just a nice set of long tube headers.

 

ok, i shouldnt port the TB, or maf ends. it has a K&N airfilter allready.
might look into some headers. thanks

 

A cam will really wake that truck engine up. Comp cams 212/218 is a great cam for all around power on the 6L. They can be found used for about $200-$250 with springs. Do the work yourself, and he will still have enough money for a set of headers, or custom tuning. Probably good for 25hp. Add headers for another 20 hp, or tuning for 15 hp and improved driving characteristics.

 

custom tune and headers

 

cool, thanks alot guys.

 

hey larry how are you today?
i own an 03 1500hd ccsb with a 6.0 . i did a few mods that really made the truck wake up because the thing weighs around 6800lbs.i'm not into going into the motor,i'll leave that to you young guys.what i did was a tbs,drop in kn,gms maf sen.,edlelbrock headers and the ppg111,87 oct.i retained the stock muffler.if your uncle has an ecsb he should do quite well. as they are around 1400 lbs lighter. here are some pics of my trucks.

 

Larry, quit posting and get your car ready.

Bruce

 

nice truck man. thanks for the help. what is a tbs? and what is a ppg111,87 oct?

Bruce the car will be ready for sat. i took thrs and friday off just to make sure. lol

 

I'd do tune and headers. Big gains right there yet still nice, docile, and will attain decent fuel economy.
