New-School vs. Old-School
I was recently told I dont know how a motor works when I went to a machine shop from a rather older gentleman. He has a 2006 scsb gmc with a 6.0L "LQX-LS2" no idea in it. I know that the motor is fully built "imagine ulimited use of a machine shop with no cost" There can't be a large cam in it bc it sounds stock and he is running a stock tbtc. stock exhaust manifolds with dual muffler out the back gutted cats with thru pippes inside. stock air intake. stock throttle body. stock appearance with the hood poped and I know nothing looks different. All of this might be ported/polished with stock appearance. Running slicks... No idea about gears. Wait theres more on 87 octane tune. What can he posssibly run? He claims low 12's never been to the track and if he put 93 in it and added some timing high 11's? Has this old man fell off his rocker...... Vs. Me.

I ran a 14.2 on 22's with a 55 shot. Since then I have added long tubes. Cut out the y-pipe and added duals. 90mm Throttlebody Conversion. 2600-2800 Circle D TBTC. 3.4-3.0 Pulley Swap. Which on the dyno gained 65rwhp and 85rwtq. Plus I am upping the shot from 55-75hp and running on stock 17" Z71 rims with 275/40/R17 MT ET Street vs 22's... Hoping to be in the mid 12's..... all dyno numbers are with no nitrous.

LMAO yah I have to agree, unless he is running a ported-polished head motor with a bitchen nitrous cam, the squeeze.... Take him out and try him out.. If he bust your **** by some lengths then he wasn't off his rocker..
