Thinking about buying a new 2010 6.2l
I am thinking about buying a new ext. cab 2wd Chevy 1500 with the 6.2l and 6-speed... I am wanting to know what is out there for these new 6.2l... Can you use LS1, LS2, LS7 stuff?
Pretty much what all if available for performance? I am looking at heads, cams, forged internals, ect....... all the good stuff. Please post links if you can!
I want to make a 700-800hp street monster.
And want to know what my options are before i get the truck.
Thanks for the help!

LS3, LS7 and l99 stuff yes. LS1,2,6,4.8,5.3,6.0 no. the L92 (6.2L is a rectangular port intake, whereas the others are cathedral port. Lots of stuff is made for these engines. check out iamkeniff, he's got a cammed CCSB 6.2 and it moves out fast. with say a TVS2300 or a turbo setup, 800 HP is easily attainable

the parts are endless for those trucks because anything that fits the new camaro will fit it and 800hp shouldnt be too hard at all to reach with a good turbo setup or built 6.2 and nitrous, truck should move pretty good. There some on here already running 13's with this truck with a tune intake and catback so they have good potential

DAMNNN.... nice!...
Anyone know what kind of power the stock internals can handle reliably?
I would probably either do a supercharger or a twin turbo kit (since its going to be on the street want QUICK spool)
Thanks again guys!

I know that they can handle at least 8lbs of boost because all the supercharger and turbo kits for these trucks are all at that and magnacharger or procharger wouldnt warranty them if it couldnt if that makes sense.......a magnacharger radix max TVS kit would really wake the truck up and then throw in some support mods like headers intake and custom tune you should have a pretty quick truck

i want a 6l90e. I was going to do a 6.2 swap, but didn't wanna spend all that money on different heads etc to fit my supercharger. 6.0 is good enough for me with a shot. I guess it depends what you're looking for.

Right now what I have gathered after looking around is what follows.
Livernois Stage 2 Cam
Texas Speed Ported Cylinder heads
Custom twin turbo setup running twin 61mm Masterpowers turbos at 8psi (do you think I could go smaller for quicker spool and still get 800rwhp later on when I do the forged internals?)
Eventually go with a forged rotating assembly and all of that to up the power even more...
I want a cam that sounds good and gives great bottom end torque... maybe I will have livernois custom grind me a cam for that?

i'm not familiar with livernois stuff, but if you're going to go forced induction the cam should be spec'd for it. NA cams don't always make good FI cams.
purely my personal opinion: you should stay with a single turbo. today's turbos are very efficient and you want to stick with a single turbo until you NEED the air requirements of two turbos. spool time is negligible with the newest housing/turbine designs. most people run stall converters anyway so you won't notice much lag, especially with the 6l80's stump-pulling 1st gear.
i've been waiting for someone to make a universal control system to make it easy to run variable geometry turbos... i.e. you can run a single 80mm turbo that'll have the response of a 50mm turbo, but still make more power than a standard non-VGT 80mm due to the variable turbine geometry. it's really the best of both worlds. anyone know of such a system?

forgot to say... if you're planning on forging the rotating assembly, plan your turbo and fuel/ignition system accordingly so you're not buying everything twice.
the problem with running low boost pressures with turbos designed to run 1,000hp+ is that you WILL have lag and maybe even unstable boost. looking at compressor maps you see everything is in terms of airflow... or pressure ratio to be exact. if your turbo is happy pushing a 6.2L V8 to 1000hp at 7,000rpm and 25psi, it most likely will NOT be happy with the same engine at 5,000rpm and 8psi.
might have to do yours in stages... run smaller turbos until you build up the cash to forge the internals and buy larger turbos. go ahead and build your exhaust, fuel and ignition systems to take the 1000hp though, you can modulate those through tuning (might have to dial back the injectors a bit though).
have fun
