Well I got my 6.0 today but a little disappointed. To start with I was supposed to be getting a 07 6.0 out of a truck, but the ball got dropped. Instead I was sent a 08 6.0 out of a van. Looking at Chevy's website the van is about 40 less HP and a little less torque. On top of that he forgot to send the pedal and MAF. The 6.0 I got has zero miles on it. Should I just keep it for my OBS swap or get a 6.0 or 5.3 from a truck? What is different in the 6.0 for the truck to have more HP?
its the same engine just different tune and exhaust, thats where the lost HP is. With a good tune you'll never know the difference.
That was going to be one of my next questions when I start doing the swap. Who can I get to do the tune? Do they only need the computer or will they need the harness as well?Quote:
