I'm looking into swapping out my 4.8 with the 6.0. I would like to get ya'lls help/opinions on this. I was looking for either a low mileage lq9, and not mess with the internals, or get a moderate mileage lq4, and get some forged internals. It will probably never see over 10#'s of boost. I want some serious power, but also have to keep it reliable because it is my DD. Is there really that much difference in the lq9 and 4? Is it worth spending the "extra" money to get the lq9, or find a lq4 and get some goodies for it? Any opinions and thoughts appreciated!

 

for the extra cash you'll be wasting on the q9, may as well just get the q4. use the extra cash left and spend on a cam swap imo.
