spend about the same money and find a lq9 IMO. same money spent, roughly the same power gained or slightly more power with the 6.0 and more potential.

You can run 91 octane with 10:1 compression ratio. I just didn't want you to think 87 octane would be ok (especially after getting a performance tune).

Just making sure you know but you'll want a retune to keep from running lean with the extra air you'll be pulling in.
