Re: Building a 6.0

Lookup Sloppymechanics on YouTube. Watch some videos and check out his other resources/webpages for more turbo LS info. He lays it all out pretty well what you can expect to get out of a combo and what you need to feed it. Quick summary for you though, he runs a stock bottom end Gen4 6.0, stock heads, stock truck intake, .660 capable valve springs with a 236/236 cam and has gotten 1000whp out of it.

Just my opinion, put a cam and springs in it first. Forget about changing the intake, unless you go with a high rise intake you'll need to mess with or replace the front the drive acc costing you more $. Plus the truck intakes flow, especially with a turbo. Forget about building the bottom end, especially if it's Gen4. Just open up the ring gaps a bit and limit how much boost you throw at it. Spend your $ on a turbo and converter instead, build the bottom end later if you end up wanting that much more power.
