..... for my good friend Sebastien

I start with a 6.0 liter ls engine 2007 I add a GT4718r
FAST - XIM for fuel and fire control
ls9 head gasket and arp stud
the final step was tuning on dyno and a nice clean up the car is in good shape and strong

enjoy

Awesome, sounds really good. Does the intake fit under the hood ok?

 

[sweetv6]

no ! need 4 inches cool induction hood

 

[Black Power]

dang, I was hoping it would fit. Wishful thinking. I couldn't bring myself to cowl mine, so I guess I will keep the ugly black plastic intake for now.

Good choice! IMO, Cowl hoods look like Fido's azz...................

"tuner tell me it near to the limit for a stock 6.0".........Huh??

 

[sweetv6]

I guess the "tuner" hasn't been around these junkyard cars very long. Those numbers are much lower than what they are capable of.

 

[sweetv6]

a lot of story of a big hp about that engine yes
but not a lot have a long life
that setup is for a day to day street application
with 700 lbs a torque at wheel I think too is near to the limit

You can't use a fast intake so the hood will close?

but it ugly to me imo
