Default s/c 5.3 or 6.0

i did a search and couldn't find anything. im in the process of trying to purchase a mp112 for my 5.3 or buy a 6.0. my question is should i just throw a s/c and heads on my 5.3 or build a 6.0. which would yield the most hp and be the cheapest to do? im assuming that the 6.0 would make more torque. any suggestion would be appreciated. This is for a 05 cc.

Throw a supercharger on the 5.3 then start building a 6L and when the 5.3 takes a crap swap the 6L in with the supercharger

Do you want a super charger or do you want a n/a engine. If you don't care it will be cheaper to buy a s/c and put it on the engine you already have. No question about it.

Just about all of the parts are interchangeable. Does budget play a factor in this? I would personally go FI hands down.

A supercharged 5.3 at just 6 psi will make more power then a mild 6.0 easily. The 5.3 will act more like a 7.6l and with a positive misplacement supercharger like the MP112, the torque will be instant!.

put the SC on the 5.3 and later down the road swap out engines. It's the best way


Quick Reply: s/c 5.3 or 6.0
