Dude ...love you ATV&#33;&#33;&#33;

2006 Suzuki LTR 450... All set up for racing Motocross&#33;&#33; Actually... I pretty much forgot about my truck when I started racing 4 years ago. Here are some more pics of the quad if you are interested: Clickity

Welcome&#33; Welllll....the 305 Vortec, huh? That thing needs to go quick&#33; Take it out this weekend&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; I&#39;ll help&#33; I&#39;ll even set up a fund for you to get an LS1 for that thing. As you can tell, I am not a fan of the old, tired 305. I absolutely love you truck--OBS, RCSB. I am eventually going to get a truck like yours. IMHO, the OBS has been the best looking truck GM has ever made. I had two OBS trucks--and I would have one now, but I couldn&#39;t get financing on anything over 7 years old back when I bought my NBS. Anyway, let us know we can help you put an LS1 in that thing&#33;[/b]

Tell me about it&#33; The truck doesn&#39;t run too bad right now. The last time I ran, the truck went 15.94. That was before the gibson headers, 3in flowmaster (no cat), auburn posi, and my BUILT transmission. I&#39;m excited to do the motor swap. I&#39;m thinking that I&#39;d like to do the 6.0 but I found a REALLY good deal on a 5.3 w/ 52k miles that I get locally so I dunno&#33; I&#39;m thinking about doing the 5.3 for now and doing a 6.0 swap later on. I did find a 6.0 w/ 88k miles for &#036;900 but I&#39;d have to pay shipping from Maine.

Where you from in Arkansas? I&#39;m not too far from there myself. Where do you race at?[/b]

I&#39;m from the Rogers/Bentonville area in a smaller town called Centerton. Are you wondering where I race the quad at?

No, that pic of the truck looks like your at a dragstrip. But your in the opposite corner from me. I&#39;m near the SW corner, and your in the NW corner. I was just looking for a close dragstrip. Welcome to the site though.

I&#39;m thinking that the 6.0 will be nnnnnasty in that truck of yours. But &#036;&#036;&#036; does mean a lot when it comes down to which motor you choose. The 6.0 has a lot more torque then the 5.3, but you have a RC, so you don&#39;t need that much torque. Even with 4.10&#39;s, Tru-Trac, and Cal-Tracs, you&#39;d have serious traction issues with the 6.0. IMO, I would go for the 5.3. It&#39;s cheaper, local, and with less miles.

i dont know what the weight difference is between a 97 rcsb but the 5.3 liter in my 04 rcsb isnt very impressive. ive installed the lpe gt2-3 cam and have had 3 differnt tunes by allen nelson but i just dont think the cubes are there for fun perfomance. id go 6.0 for sure. save your &#036; and go with it. more cylinder head chocies also.
