+1 on Cody's comments regarding the 6.0L selection. And the cam is a good call too, but he could get away with something a little bigger---but yes, something with a bias towards the exhaust...maybe a 218/224 .563/.581 114 LSA. Oh, and I would also highly recommend you slapping on some LT headers. It will work well with the FI and cam...

No doubt about the headers. The poor thing is so choked up now you would not believe it.

Thats a very good idea

"d's" - Its from a rap song haha...Im only 20 haha...Basically rims haha

i second that you love a 6.0 i posted a simular thread about that i had X amount of money i now have spent in the upwards of 10k lol all worth it

what kind of gears are you running?

[americanthunder]

that doesn't seem right to me tbss is 400hp if your whippled with 8psi you should be somewhere in the 450hp range all i can think is gearing or your truck isnt running very good like you said. hmm

3.73s the problem is at any rpm over 3500 it starts to fall on its face because I don't have long tube headers. It can't exhale all that is going in it and the whipple starts heating up big time. IATS get too high. I would have long tubes but my head has a broken bolt in it and I screwed it up too bad trying to get it out. I would rather replace the whole engine than 1 head.

I just bought a 45k mile LQ9 from LKQ. 1950.00 + 240 for a core charge.
I am a little happier now. I am supposed to be able to pick it up tomorrow but who knows when I will be able to put it in. Now I need to chose and order a cam kit. Alright so where are the deals on cam and spring packages? ? ? ? ? ?

I think somebody was fibbing to us, 1950 is a lot more than that 1800 you said you had to spend. Now you have more money to spend? Did you sell your wedding band?

No just burnt plastic. Gonna burn some more to. Wife pissed me off pretty bad she will get over it. I am tempted to go ahead and buy some heads while I am at it.

Alot of people will try and steer you towards bigger cams but the simple fact of the matter is smaller cams create larger torque down low and thats what makes a heavy ass truck fun to drive. You are going with a TIGHT stall so you need a good hit right off the line. The Whipples dont produce instant boost like the roots blowers do, the lysholms take a little to wind up all the way but they also have greater CFM potential so I would use a small cam to get you going and use the up top power potential of the lysholm to carry you through up top. A small cam is going to make your truck a tire frying beast when just toodling around town and nailing it. A larger cam will give you great top end but will be lacking a bit down low with a tight stall. If it was me I would go with a 3000 stall and step the cam up to a 218/224 or maybe even a 220/226. The 6 degree split has been shown to be the ticket on most blowers period unless you are running L92s then the splits get crazy something around 14-18* splits Heads arent that big of a deal on a blown app, I would hold off on that as your last mod unless you just want to go ahead and get it over with. You would gain around 40hp with a good set of heads from WCCH if not more but a cam is more bang for the buck. An LQ9 is nice but it is going to limit you on boost potential since it has a .6 higher CR then the LQ4 it will act better out of boost though. When it comes time for heads I would try and use WCCHs 74cc heads with a .06 HG to lower the CR as much as possible.
