Can anybody recommend a place to buy stock size forged pistons? I have blown pistons in the 5.3 and now the lq4 6.0. Any suggestions-thanks in advance.

 

I don't know if anyone has started making any for the 5.3 but Diamond has a good selection for the 6.0. Check out Texas speed, Thunder racing and SDPC to name a few. Sponsors>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If you are using stock rods keep in mind that you need pistons for 6.098" rod with a .945" wrist pin.

 

Man it didn't take you long to kill this one. What happend? how much boost?
Sorry to hear..

 

What Kind Of Timing Are You Running

Witch Pistons Are You Burning

 

That is a big help, thank you.

 

Same tune I was using with the 5.3 and the stock spring at 6lbs. of boost???

 

I think 25' of timing, this time burnt all except 2 and 6.

 

Drop the timing way down and turn up the boost.

 

6.0 requires ALOT more fuel then 5.3l your tune is what killed it!

 

sounds like a good idea after i forge it.
