shawnss Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 nice sounds good. so is this a stock engine? 6.0 LQ9? or does it have custom/different set of pistons. sounds good. but i must say it needs a bath wow she's dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfresh138 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Yeah, stock short block... with 125xxx miles. And it did need a bath i washed it but it still needs a full detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnss Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Yeah, stock short block... with 125xxx miles. And it did need a bath i washed it but it still needs a full detail. hmm. for some reason i was thinking they should have a little dish piston in the LQ9s. i guess i have been tearing apart to many LQ4s lately. anyways nice build. best of luck with the nitrous. just watch out how hard you push the stock trans im on my 4th trans im hoping this 4l80 will last.

cfresh138 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Update- truck now has a Performabuilt level 3 transmission(destroyed stock one playing on a roadcourse) Performabuilt billet 3600 stall And i have since purchased Zo6 brakes from BlownFogger540 that will go on in the spring and a Nitrous outlet plate kit. I am planning on running a 150 shot. Hopefully will have new times to post when the track re-opens this spring. Now that i have a larger stall i am kind itching for a bigger cam. Something like Duration-23x/23x Lift-.61x/.62x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
