6.0 LQ9 Swap - I have been inspired!
#11
everything went smooth as owl ****
i am still going to do the comp trunion upgrade
and i wish colorado had more of a ls oriented crowd
im having a hell of a time trying to get this truck tuned
im wanting a data log or maybe a dyno to see where my injectors are at.
the pacesetter headers fit perfect to my factory Y pipe
the cam is WoW. its easy to spin the tires to a burn from take off
there seems to be so much more damn power everywhere than the
5.3 had. @ 75mph instead of screamin at me and thinking of taking off
i move now with the 6.0
im installing the b&m super cooler for the tranny this weekend
i hope it survives until next tax season( lol )
no regrets, ive been reading the good and bad on this forum and ls1 tech for
quite awhile now and i had my goals set for what i wanted before i actually begun
if i didnt have emissions i wouldve considered a cam like TSP torquer2 for my truck. but a cam much bigger than mine i think is overcam for the 317
stock heads, intake, on the stock 6.0 and i replaced my valve springs with those ls6 blue ones
maybe one of those EPS cams would been wise
a total of about 14 hours to swap motors and starting the 6.0 by myself
in my little *** garage last week end
thanks for asking and i apologize for the novel

i did the same thing
i installed a lq9 from gm performance
with 216/220 560/560
headers and a 3200 stall
its not tuned yet and its fun.
i agree about the injectors, mine are the 5.3 inj. and it sure seems like
i lose alot of power from 4k up
so im looking at the 42# from fast. i dont plan on a fuel pump upgrade or ever boosting it
mine is a 2001 and not a 4x4
that cam has a nice lope sound but not too hard lope
just enough to make one ask "is that cammed?"

You will notice a huge difference.
