If this was a NA build and you had a little more compression to work with I think it would run a LOT stronger too. I think those WCCH heads have a bigger chamber than the stock heads dont they? Imagine what a 10.5:1 or higher compression would get ya...

I say this only because I'm leaning more toward a NA build at this point than I am boost. I feel like it would be too easy for me to get carried away with a FI build and I would start to break stuff... With a daily driver I need to be a little more cautious unfortunately.

But some AFR 215's could keep me happy for a while...

Yea, The heads have alittle bit bigger combustion chambers but I had the heads milled .025 to bring the compression back up. Once I get the procharger on I bet it will really scream. But a high compression N2O build has crossed my mind a time or two.

That makes sense. I think the LQ4 stock compression is plenty low for boost, no need to go any lower or it would be a dog out of boost.

Do it... then we can compare/compete NA numbers LOL.

Who can make the fastest NA 6.0 Denali???

I'd say NA denali... but there's a 6.2 denali runnin around Texas with stock heads that runs 12.4's. Bastard.
Those L92 heads are damn impressive, then he has the benefit of a 6 speed tranny and the extra cubes.
Check it out.

Lets just make moves and claim it as our own... As far as I'm concerned right now its you, but I may be hot on your heels. The SSS guys are runnin 12's, I see no reason why we cant be in that ball park.

The thing I'm strugglign with is the 80e swap... I know it will hurt my ET, but I love the added insurance.

I have no Denali but I have a crew cab z71 that I just dropped a lq9 into. It has a 219/230 .607/.604 117 TR cam with dual valve springs and hardened pushrods. I also just invested in a performabuilt stage II 60E with a 3200 circle d converter...the reason I say this is cuz I was going FI until I needed a tranny and slept on it a bit then decided to just run a timing interface and spray 175 or 200 shot. I'm very curious to see what I run but think I will be impressed until something breaks!
