I think you should save your money for an LQ4 shortblock.

at what rpm and gear do you currently cross the traps? Dropping to a smaller diameter may force you into another gear, not good, or bring your rpms up at the trap, good.

Well i rarely get to go to the 1/4 mile track so i am not sure on the rpm... I normally go to the 1/8th and i usually shift a little bit before the traps... So usually i just keep it in 2nd rev up to 7000-7100ish rather than shifting into 3rd...

Do you think this is possible with a 6.0, or only with the 4.8 due to the shorter stroke?
