Almost a corvette
So befor i knew much about ls motors (still dont) i was always told my SS Silverado had a corvette engine...as we all know it does not. Maybe the same 6.0 rotating assembly but thats where it ends. So now my SS has a whole laundry list of vette parts. Here is just the small list.
New lq9 block, katech ported 243 heads, Ls2 fast 102, Nick williams 102 tb, tsp header back, Ls2 btr stage 4 cam, ls7 lifters new oil pump and fuel system..3200 circle d stall...trans cooler ect ect.. Im not happy with the dyno numbers so im not gonna post it yet till i get it retuned but what would you guys say it made rwhp? its awd but we took the front driveshaft out and tuned it rwd..here is a short idle clip

This set up actually made 450 rwhp in our manual ls1 befor it was put on this 6.0....i was thinking the 6.0 should put out around 400 rwhp...but i plan on taking it to the track i think for a 1500 it should do high 13s but the truck with no one in it weighs like 4600

ET and mph will tell the story., Seen lots of guys screw themselves over building via dyno sheets when they had the combo right the first time .
Numbers mean nothing. How does it run
Seen some C4s on this forum with barely 300whp run 11s. Smoked lots of dyno queens with one or two of my own cars that make crappy dyno #s.
Put some 4.56 some M/t on that bitch and run it!!
Fwiw there are so many cars with fake dyno numbers with owners unaware its not even funny so dont pay attention to it. Many forum geeks will tell you your car is slow, somethings wrong who dont do anything other than read bs on the web they havent a clue. I took so much crap for an 89 I had with lousy dyno #s it wasnt even funny. Was stock, just a catback and porting (self).
Finally ran it took home a 13 sec time slip.

Indeed it is. I've heard some people claim the tbss intake flows better than the CA ones because it's bigger. No idea how true or not that it, but it is slightly different. It has a clutched fan and different accessories too, lol.

My first priority is going to be headlights. Mine are faded and frankly suck. I'm planning a bi LED projector retrofit.
