Anyone has an idea on how would this stroker 5.3 compare to a stock 6.0?
Just curious more than anything.

 

wouldnt that make a 346?

 

no reason to forge a 5.3 i had a full bolt on and cammed 5.3 on a 200shot thats got over 130k and still going strong......there strong enough in most cases

 

For a few hundred bucks you can get a 6.0 block and have a lot more power per dollar. It is not much money at all when you consider all the extras that the F/I or spray (the whole reason you are going forged) will consume.

 

the reason i forged my 5.3 is because i dont see a stock 5.3 holding a 350 shot of n2o or a stock 6.0....I know with a 350 shot on this motor i could get maybe a mid to low 10 who knows maybe faster i dont see a 6.0 with a 200 shot get me close to that could be wrong i know JJ went 10.6 i think on a 6.0 with a 150.......I can see a stock 5.3 holding 200 shot for a long time but not a 6.0.... I dont know but i think 5.3 are much stronger than 6.0 what i mean by stronger i think they can take more beating

 

Ok, I don't like to hijack threads but since it's related I'll ask it here.

Everyone says a forged a 5.3 is not worth it, but what if the limiting factor was a TVS1900? Isn't it too small on top of a built 370/408?

Wouldn't then make sense to build the 5.3 and pulley down the **** out of the TVS?
Already have the blower and it was free, that's why I ask.

 

Not to mention that "pulleying down" a Roush TVS is an expensive PITA.... but you are correct that your blower is better suited to a 5.3 than a 370.

 

aes on ls1tech has got short and long block 5.3's that are forged. there may be someone on that side who has run one. if not contact aes to see what these things are capable of
