Default 409 NA cubes or 6.0 heads/cam Radix??

Debating on two setups guys. Which one do you think would (A) make more power and (B) be faster down the 1/4???

All other things being equal....

6.0 heads/cam radixed ... of course if you spray that 409 that may be a different story.

Is this for your 04 2500 truck?

Heads cam Radix would be nice, but heads cam stroker would be about the same total $$$ investment. Not sure which one would be the best option for the best ET. Either would be fun to drive.

Go with the bigger cubes! A 409 in a truck is a good combo.

There are a few turbo kits out or preparing to be released also if you go the boost route.

You should go the 409 route though. That way when people ask what's in there you can tell them a stock 5.3L.
