5.3 lhp-vs-6.0l hp???????????????????

[Sambo]

ok im a newbie and have been doing alot of research on ls1tech and ls1truck and have a couple ?'s. A 5.3 with a 100hp package will put me at 334 to the wheels. Can i just buy a 6.0 at 395hp and add a 100hp ( if there is one)and be at around 500hp? looking for a 500hp daily driver and c that the 6.0 swaps g0 for about 2500 with all the accessories. let me know what i can do.

First off, the 6.0's range in power from 300 (LQ4) to 345 (LQ9) and 367 I believe for the new 6.0 which I dunno the rpo for. There is no 395hp version. Do you want 500 fly wheel horsepower or rear wheel? Im assuming rear wheel since you were talking rear wheel with the 5.3 If you do the same mods to the 6.0L that you did to the 5.3 with the "100 hp package" I am pretty sure you might be at 375-400 or so wheel hp (just a guess here). If you want a 500 horse daily driver I say you invest in a turbo or a supercharger. With a base supercharger kit or turbo kit on a 6.0 you still wont be at 500 rear wheel horsepower. Takes alot of work and $$$ to get 500 horses to the wheels in these trucks, thats my

Not entirely acurate, dont the LS2's (6.0) rated at 395 hp? maybe he meant a 6.0 truck engine, but maybe he didn't. anyway, i may be off but i do think the ls2 is rated right around 400.
