Default 6.0 & spray?

i was just wondering how much spray a 6.0 LQ4 could handle with a good tune? the motor has about 30K. it got ARP rod bolts and MLS gm head gaskets and ARP head bolts, the cam thats in it is 224 228/576 587/114lsa..

I've been through an uncountable number of 100 shots, about 30 or so 150, and about 5 bottles with the 200 shot. Still doesn't use any oil and runs great.

well, i did as much as a 250 with a dedicated fuel system on my old lq4, when it was all stock shortblock, only exeption was the rod bolts (ARP)

on that big a shot it is always better to run her a lil fatter

not saying its safe but just throwing it out there

IMO 150 is the max I'd consider on a stcok LQ9. I know of some who spray 250 etc. and it gives them great times at the track but they kep grenading rear ends,trannies, and just a matter of time until the mmotor scatters.
