Hey guys....

I am always following all of your builds/how-to's/troubleshooting threads. So hopefully i can get all of your opinions with my future engine setup...I am having Rex build me a forged 370 with about 9-9.5:1 comp, mild california smog compliant cam, and ported 317 heads by WCCH.

I currently have the 112 maggie on my 5.3 that i am planning on putting on the 6.0. I know all of the threads recommend the 122 at the least, but i need to use that money that i would use to upgrade the s/c to rebuild my 4L80-E while my engine is out. I know the efficiency is not as good on the 112 as the 122, but i also was wondering if my drivnig style/needs will play a roll (as well as my pocket book $$$).

I rarely go above 5000 RPM and when i do, its not often and not for long. Most of it is seat of the pants, stop light to stop light type driving, along with freeway cruising. So bottom line question(s) i guess are:

--will the 112 s/c work on the 6.0?
--will the 42lb/hr injectors work?
--and with a mild cam/112 how will that setup be for a DD?

Any advice or help would be great. Thanks guys.

I can tell you that the 112 ran out of gas on my stock LQ9 and if you are going to the hrouble of building a motor you need to think about upgrading. If you want to stick with Maggie, which is not a bad choice, then I would look at the TVS offerings.

That's the way to go. Get everything together, and running, then upgrade.

Sound advise.

If do not have the money for the larger blower, at least you can still drive the truck.
Sure may not be the max hp but it will get you where you need to go.

The 112 will work fine on the 6.0. If 6-7 psi is enough for you, there is no need to upgrade.

The42# injectors will works. If you go down in pulley size 3.0 or smaller, you are going to need larger injectors or meth injection.

With a mild cam (GT2-3 is a good choice), the 112 will really shine in the mid upper RPM range.

I made 500+ rwhp with a nearly max effort radix 112/6.0 combo.
