Default 6.0 in and running

Got the 6.0 in today she is running well in need of a tune update though. I want to thank all that have helped on the advice and insight. Had a couple that told me for sure there was no way it was gonna work ,but as of about 3 hrs driving I don't see any problems yet. Got the trailblazer stall in and it stalls to 24 or 25ish ,but if I were to do it over again I would go bigger.
thanks to litreddevil for the help.

Awesome job. Why did some people tell you no way it was going to work? Did it go into something other than the 00' in your sig or did they not think the 5.3 ECU would accept the 6.0 swap?

The 00' model motor that I put in has a longer crankshaft that is made to accept the 80e. The pcm is alright just need to get allen to update my tune for the bigger motor.

No I sold the cam to a fellow member on this board decided against it because of the towing I do from time to time. I just put the 6.0 and trailblazer stall in.
