well like i said..planin to swap out the old 5.3 (130k) for a 6.0...looking a for a good NA set up...big cam yet street friendly...not really gona be a daily driver but still my going out truck..seen some of these guys runing in the low 12s with a 6.0 on all motor...those numbers seem good for me..lol..that be a good goal for me...concidering im still on a budget..lol...anything will help guys..

 

wow good luck man ...wierd im in the procewss of doing one right now....only im waitin on my cam for now ill do one wen i go all out in a few yearsd after some others things and supercharge it!

for now im just doing a rebiuld with full boltons and headers back exhuast and tune. i kant wait to get rid of my 4.3 v6.....

 

try on the edge of hitting 11.9x in the heat lol

i remember my goal being just getting into the 12s and that was in my ecsb with a lq9 short block running NA well i hit 11.8 NA now i am looking for better numbers NA in my rcsb its very chievable and still be a daily i drive mine just about everywhere !!

 

^^^just copy his setup^^^, or a cam like the torquer V2 or MS3 would probably work good for you. what's your budget?

 

yea well those numbers should please me verry well..lol
well on budget....hum...
im not sure..i dont want anythig all fancy just something that can run good and can still be a DD..even thou im not gona do that..lol
well charlie wheatly metiond a guy from san antonio has sevral low mile 6.0 lq4s and can ship them to a shop of ur choise for a verry decent price with a 1yr warrenty...thats were he got his...and bout a ms3 cam i think a guy around hear is tryn to get rid of his...so that be a good big but not to big cam?? good with my 2500stall??

 

thanks ssinister...its verry comon these days to see these trucks geting 6.0 trown in...dam GM should of been doing it from the get go....i guess they just wanted us reg guys to find it out on our own..lol
but swaping from v6 to 6.0 is more work.right??

 

with that MS3 cam i would go with a 3200+ stall... if you want that cam too id get it on a 113 LSA if you ever plan on spraying it... i hear that the MS3 on a 113 is a good nitrous cam...

 

lol i tried ordering a new 09 with a 6.2 they wouldnt do it even made a healthy offer, but oh well, got the 5.3 instead answering your swap question its not hard at all, just motor/frame mounts, wiring and a tune will get it done, also a nice built tranny will work. as for the fuel setup i just cut my lines and used a couple short pieces of some good fuel hose

 

Can you afford to get a higher stall converter?

 

i can maybe afford it....if i need it ill get it..lol
but im not so informed on stalls..but how would that affect my drivability?? cus i love road trips i need a truck that can be driven around...(car shows around the state)...but bout spray..well yea i would like to also use some of that..but first the swap and built up of the 6.0..cus i wan build it up befor its in..

wow gm is just aint giving ppl exactly wat they want...shet a reg cab with a 6l80e and a 6.2..well hands down that be a monster..or a low reg cab z71 6l80e and a 6.2...that thing would be great on the roads...push tht 4x4 hi..and its gone! lol
