This months Hot Rod - LQ9 Truck intake vs LS intakes
Anyone see the latest issue of Hot Rod? They did a 6.0 buildup with just bolt on parts to get 53hp/74tq on an engine dyno. Pretty good article. Sounds like they are going to continue with this engine in future articles.

It's an LQ9, it actually showed the LS1 intake swap lost HP, LS6 was so negligible it wasn't worth the effort and the LSX was ok, but nothing in the double digit regime.
