Is the 6.0 the best?

[PurpleMinivan]

And if LS3/L92 heads were so bad why would Nelson Racing Engines, and other top flight outfits include them in their motor packages? Uuuh huh!

[PurpleMinivan]

The LS2 put out 400hp in the Vettes and Gto's... it took 11 to 1 CR to get there with the LS2 vs. 10.5 to 1 and Ooooh some much left on the table with the LS3.... But what do I know, I'm building a 6.0 block with L92 heads

What's wrong with that?

[LsxCody]

I think a lq9 with bolt ons would be best with a budget in mind. I don't think he ever said he wanted a 408 think he just wants to go alil faster

What was this thread about again... You ask for an opinion on here and you will get one or a thousand

yeah, if you ask if one is better than the other you will get a lot of opinions. I have a 408 and I know its not better than some smaller engines. A lot of times its just the combination of matched parts that makes the best engine. We can't all throw $5000 worth of turbo stuff on an engine to make up for its lack of power. We know a factory engine 99% of the time is going to give us the most dependable and longest lasting power without having to keep pouring more money into the engine. I'll always advise a stock HP engine before a performance built engine if someone wants a daily driver or longevity. For all out power its got to be nitrous on top of a forged engine, be prepared to pay weekly if not daily for nitrous refills. In between is the turbo trucks but you always hear of things going out on a turbo engine, if not the turbo itself its a pipe, coupler, weld, controller, wastegate, BOV or something else. Its all about what you want out of your engine and the sacrifices you'll make for power.
