    I noticed no one responded with anything anbout thet LQ4 or 6.0 questions. I too would like to know how this setup (or similar setup) would affect a 6.0? Someone please elaborate please.

    I think that we are going to be fighting a losing battle here :/

    we did a 224 cam back in the day on an LQ9 in houston, on the engine dyno.
    The cam alone made 442hp, were those LQ9's 345hp or something like that? if i'm wrong, i'll look up the info, but it was a good gain for just a cam.
    there are better cams now, but that 220 and 224 have been making power for a long time.
