Noticable difference between 5.3 and 6.0?

[casey23]

i was kidding... I just wouldnt take out a 5.3 in a stock truck and drop in a stock 6.0 and expect alot .... but gains are great with tune,headers,camshaft.... cubic inch is allways king.... put a 232/236 in there while you have it out

I THINK ILL FEEL A PRETTY GOOD DIFFERENCE JUST SWAPPING STOCK MOTORS,,295HP TO 407HP,,AND A CAM ON TOP OF THAT LOL

.7L of displacement vs 1.3L. Like zebra said. Like a 4.3 to a 6.0.

Or think of it this way.......

The old 3.8 V6 from Olds/Buick cars is almost the same as a 5.0 V8 with 2 fewer cylinders.

3.8 = .6333333 L per cylinder
5.0 = .625 L per cylinder

So, if you can imagine the difference between those 2 motors, that's roughly the difference an extra 1.2L makes. Not exactly, mind you, just a point for comparison.

The 1.2L difference in going from a V6 to a V8 in my comparison would actually be a bit less dramatic than a 1.2L larger V8......because in the V6 to V8 scenario, part of the HP increase will also be absorbed by the larger rotating mass of the extra 2 cylinders. You will probably add rotating mass with a larger V8 as well (larger pistons), but not as much as 2 whole extra cylinders' worth. One way to get around, or at least somewhat mitigate the increased rotating mass issue is to use lightweight forged pistons in the larger motor. That of course requires rebalancing of the whole rotating assembly, yadda yadda yadda.

Yeah... Thats what I said. lol

Edit: Does anyone know where I got 1.3L? looking back now, I cant remember. ROFL.

No.......I thought you figured something out I didn't easily see, why i ran with the 1.3L number you threw out LOL.

5.3L + 1.3L = 6.6L? Isn't one of the new Corvette motors a 6.6?
