ls1 to a ls6 ?
i have a A4 c5 and was wondering how much is it for a ls6 engine?, how much would it be to install the ls6 turn key?, and is it worth it or should i just get a 383?. thanks in advance.

If your were going to go stroked do the LS2 402, going with an LS6 is not that much of an upgrade for the bucks spent, unless your engine needs rebuilt. If you do not need a rebuild a heads and cam package would get you more power than the LS6 swap. Just my 2 cents and good luck on what you decide is your upgrade

Yes that is what I did, however I went all out on the forget LS6 and heads so I can crank up the boost. A PS1C would work nicely on a stock motor and will sure put a simle on your face when the boost kicks in
