No More LQ9's
Ordered the 6.0L from Scoggin-Dickey today. Found out GM has discontinued manufacturing the LQ9's, even as crate motors. Had to settle for an LQ4.

. Plus I wanted something that was a drop-in without having to do much modding, and would work w/ the Radix. Oh well, the LQ4 should be an improvement over the 4.8, and with the Radix and a good tune, prob not much different from the LQ9.

not imo , the 112 cant produce enough boost on a 6.0 to where the compression ratio will hurt performance. if you have goals to go bigger than yes an lq4 would be a better choice.
