guys, whats that major differences on the VHO's compared to the plain 5.3's? A buddie got one and I know they are rated at like 310hp which is only 20hp more then the 5.3's I think. Are they much quicker than the 5.3's stock vs stock?

just curious as to what makes them so special

 

VHO is a 345HP 6.0 Lq9 truck. L33=HO 5.3 310 HP it is in a xcab 4x4 only with different heads and cam,pistons and an aluminum block.There is a guy on here and his dynoed 309HP with a tune and catback and very little else.Badass in my opinion for a 5.3

Guys,did i forget any differeces?

 

I think the VHO is also 2wd but uses the torsen bar setup front suspension (guess to support the weight from the 6.0) Also, has some nice looking 20s, I think they get the 9.5" rear end too. Not sure if they use hydro boost brakes or standard vac brakes.

 

The VHO is a 2x4,no more weight from a 6.0 than an Iron 5.3,9.5 came in 06 and i believe the 8.6 was in the 05s

 

9.5 14bolt was in the 05s too

 

thanks for the correction.You put down 305HP.What mods?

 

Pacesetters, no cats, cai, W4M tune

 

would it be quicker or not than a rcsb 5.3 stock for stock and modified for modified
because it is all about speed but i like the way a rcsb handles and looks but like the interior space of a ecsb

 

In most cases the stock vho will beat a stock 5.3 rcsb.
