LS6 cam into LQ9 question

[jbauto]

What's the lq9 compression out of te escalade 10:5?? I wonder what kind of power he would be able to pull.

Lq9 short block
243 heads with ls6 springs
Ls6 2002+ cam
Long tube headers
Intake exhaust
Hp tunners for tunning?

Cams don't killer your gas mileage. I believe playboy has a bigggggg cam and stall in a 6.2, and gets better than most.

I have a larger cam than most and my mileage was not affected with the cam. The converter killed my city driving but hwy I can get 19 with cruse set at 68mph.

Stock Lq9 is 10:1. If you put a set of unmilled 243's on that would raise the compression to about 11:1. This would probably affect your gas mileage but would gain loads of torque. Probably would put down 320-340 rwhp with the set up you listed. Probably 300-320 ft. lbs. of torque also which is what counts on a daily driver.

Hey guys still looking into this. The truck is on 26" whees and gas is $5.18-$5.30 a gallon here and he is not to keeen on putting a higher stall in it.

Labour is not a prob he is a good friend ill swap it in for him

We were thinking LS6 cam with yellow valve springs and cleaned up 243 heads and get a nelson tun on the hptunner.

Would this yelled some good power?

Or what do you guys recommend?

It'd make a very nice reliable sleeper combo. Essentially be an iron LS2

Well the ls2 is a 400hp 400 ft lb motor.

I think this would make a awsome daily driver and hope to pick up some gas mileage.

just need to find some cheap 243 lol

Nice meeting you yesterday Josh, think with that cam and a set of 243s will be a nice improvement, if you need anything let me know!
