Hey guys my friend who is back rom overseas has a 2006 escalade with the LQ9
His goal is to hit the 450-500hp mark
Ive read a few threads doing the following.
243 cleaned up heads milled
long tube 1 7/8" headers
Dual 3" exhaust
TBSS intake manifold
LS6 ported throtle body
Now cam choice ive seen a bunch. He wants a good idle with good gas mileage.
Anyone sugest any builds of what to do to get this power.
450 to 500hp and good gas mileage........LOL!
lol i know. Or if this quest is not possible we will jut toss a 70mm turbo on it and call it a day
Now that sound like a great idea to me
Tvs1900 ftw.
you want 450 to 500 hp to the crank or to the wheels? is that escalade AWD or 2wd?
Crank it's a awd truck.
With a tbss intake you won't want to use the 78mm ls6 tb you will want a nice big 90mm tb.
More ideas ?
I have a LQ9 in my 95' Here's some of the things that help me get to where I'm at. My truck is 4wd and made 403rwhp right after it was built. The truck has 1800 miles now and feels a little stronger. If I had to guess it's probably a 460-480 crank HP engine. I got 16.6 mpg on my second tank of fuel driving pretty reasonably.
