how cheap is cheap? I would go ahead and buy it for sure if its cheap as im thinking. Look for my posts on this forum it contains alot of details.

both of those sound very good. The only difference between them is the crank, and i always wanted to do a 4.8, then swap to a 6.0L block and use the short stroke crank, spin it to 7500, it would be sick. Whatever one is more complete would be the better one, same, id go 4.8, but thats just me.

Sounds like a good idea but have a few concerns. I know the 6.0 pistons weigh quite a bit more than the 4.8 pistons(believe 24 grams) so wouldnt that throw off the balance of the crank? Also from what ive read the Lq4 and lq9 both have 71cc heads, what changes the compression ratio? and if i used say the lq9 pistons what chamber size would i need to drop the compression into a boost friendly zone? Also what advantage would this have over just boosting a 5.3?
:biggrin: Keep in mind you dont want a motor with super low miles. The ring packs are pretty tight on these motors and you run the risk of ring butting under boost. I would say go for the 5.3 like they say theres no replacement for displacement except boost. So why not have both??!!!!
LOL, those would basically spool at idle and be out of breath around 4500, that is way way too small for even a 4.8. Now a pair of 50-trims would be okay, but i would prefer a 60 trim/stage 3or 5 wheel for twins as they would take you to -700whp it you wanted.

you can make 400whp with nothing but a small cam and go wver the heads yourself, why would you want to mess with turbos. I wouldnt even consider it unless you want to make 450+whp. Hell i make 400whp on like 2psi, so it would be pretty much retarded. Buy some headers and mounts and put it in.
BTW if you want twins, get 2 stock GN turbos, they are perfect for spool up and will make 600whp.
