Hey guys, a month or so ago I swapped a 4.8L out of a yellow 4.8L truck for a Lq9 6.0L. I also installed the LS6 cam. The only other mods were a cold air intake and tune.
I just got word today that Juan ran a 13.4@101
Lots of you guys are interested in the swap and I just wanted to let you know what you can expect. IMO, the best way to go, or an LS1 of course.
Does anyone have similar results?

Those are awesome results! Hmmmm...Excuse me while I slap my self out of this dream state. I need to get another 75k out of this one I have before I can justify that one. (grin)
No more trucks, but this is what I used to have. 2000 GMC Sierra, 6.0L-LQ4, Built 4L60, LS6 Cam, The Other Guys Headers, 3 inch exhaust and 7 chamber flowmaster, 43lb injectors, Nelson Tuning, Drop - 3/4 McGaughys Spindles, Bell Tech Shackles & Hangers. Best time 13.59 @ 106
Gotta love the swap!!! I went from the 4.8L to the 6.0L Lq4. Did a "little" work and got a great tune from Mr. Allen and went from a best of 15.4(4.8L) to a 12.6(6.0L). So, like I said, gotta love the swap!!
