so im building a 6.0 for my rcsb truck its a stock LQ4 short block, im planning on using my stock 5.3 heads with GM MLS head gaskets and a im considering a TSP 228/228 .588 .588 on a 112, the cam is probley my major concern, so some of yall that have built 6.0s please chime in and give me your knowledge.

thanks,
John M.



oh forgot to mention i have a fresh 4l60e with vette servo, and a Yank SST 3200 and 3.42s

 

I think it is a great cam, you could possibly even run a little more cam. I am building the Wood Hauler's 408, and I will be using TSP's 232/236, .595/.598 on 113 LSA Torquer cam. I could probably run more than that, but with the truck intake I think anything bigger would just be a waste because I don't think the truck intake could keep up with much more than that up in the higher rpms.

 

We will just have to see. The truck intake is plenty capable IMO.

 

I would look into some different heads. It would take some good work to get them to flow near what the stock 317 heads do.

 

I think it works good, but above 5500 I don't know how good it's gonna work.

 

My 237/242 112lsa should be good for 6600 or so in my 418 we will see Im getting it dynoed next week if everything goes well

 

its kinda of a budget build, not saying im trying to cut corners cause ive been that route with my f-body but i just dont have the extra to invest in the heads i really want, thats also why im asking for everyones input.

 

yea i figured i could run more cam, i almost thought about a t-rex its what i had in my 99 TA but just dont need that much cam anymore for a daily driver

 

Id have a set of the stock 317's toyed with if I were you. Thats all I did.

 

what kinda of power are you making to wheels? and whats your motor setup?
