What's an '06 4.8 called
My buddy has a 2006 Silverado with a 4.8. We've been doing some research on a good set-up for him, but besides 4.8 I'm not sure what to search for. Y'all use the techincal names though, like lq4, ls1, etc... What is the 4.8 called?

Lol. No, he's only got 25,000 on the motor so he'll be keeping the 4.8 for a while. We've already made him a 4" CAI and re did the exhaust. He's got 3.23 and an open diff so the next steps will be 4.56s and a traction aid. After that a TB stall and hp tuning. Its the steps after those that I'm researching. Right now I think he should get a .220/.220 0.551/ 0.551 on a 112 LSA, a set of stock 5.3 heads p&p and mill them.

OK.
Mine only has 60K and it is still waiting for its ***** to drop. I've done the standard bolt ons and tune. I'm also sporting the 3.23 open rear. I'm going 6.0L for now and maybe a stroker kit down the road. Trucks need low end torque and the 4.8L just doesn't make any.

Agreed on all accounts. His truck ia dog right now, he just wants to make it realativley quick for what it is now. He's planning to boost it when he pays it off next year and eventually when the motor goes he'll build a 6.0. For now though make the best of what you've got.
