What kind of power is expected from a bone stock 6.0 lq9 and a t rex v2 cam??

 

i wouldnt put it in a truck. as for power that lies in the tune

 

not going in a truck but i figured one of you guys here might have done it.

 

Gains of 130+hp are pretty common with the T-Rex...but you HAVE to know what you're doing when tuning it or you're going to be VERY dissapointed in it, a T-Rex will want 6800+rpm shift points and a 875rpm idle speed and it's NOT a cam to put in a vehicle over 3500lbs unless you're gonna be running a 4k stall converter

 

cool sounds good, now the next question will the stock long block take 7k rpms with good valve springs & pushrods? and how much nitrous will a stock long block hold safely?

 

Gonna need to upgrade the rod bolts for sure. Ive seen what CAN happen at about 6400 on the stockers










I know a LOT of people exceed that on a normal basis with the stockers, but mine just decided it had enough I guess.

Im not sure where the rods become the weak point, but I imagine its way over 7K

 

ok now the next question, who makes a good piston/rod combo for this motor??

 

my trex idles at 850, we have it set to shift at 6600 with the a4. cam pulls very hard have no dyno numbers yet but picked up night and day difference over the ms3 cam. this is in an ls1 with stock heads and ls6 intake in my car. you will like it!!!!

 

The truck intakes dont flow as well above 6000 I have heard, not sure though. Just another thing to think about.

 

**** the t rex cam. im gonna keep it simple, small turbo cam on a stock lq9 with a turbo and call it a day thanks for your help guys
