need help heads/cam 6.0lq4
 
i have 6.0lq4 with lt pacesetters headers, knn intake and tune with a 4l60e tranny stock gears i was wondering what heads and cam would go perfect together :confused:

Depends on how you drive the truck. Is it a daily driver or weekend warrior?

silveradoguy364 03-06-2011 11:42 PM

its more of a daily driver right now i was looking into l92 heads but not really good with cam info but in total i think i just drive my truck about 100 miles in total per week and than to the track on weekends that about it

silveradoguy364 03-06-2011 11:44 PM

o and hopefully if plans go right gonna put a 4l80 tranny in

Yeah I was gonna say your gonna need to either get your tranny built or put a 4L80E in there. The L92 heads have been the best choice for flow. For the cam I would look into something like a TR224. Its got lots of torque and pulls hard up top. But you can still daily drive it without any problems. On a 6.0 with this cam, headers, and a tune, your gonna see about close to 100 hp increase.

dang thats a lot of hp i like the sound of that and how would my 1/4 time be looking so far right now with my setup im hitting about 13.8

RUFFNECK4LYFE 03-07-2011 02:44 PM

That all depends on weight of the truck and gearing. But I bet you could get it down close to a low 13. All this with a added torque converter you should be screamin off the line pretty hard.

Here's a slightly smaller cam but this is for a 5.3... http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/front...in-budget.html

Welcome. I've got the same cam in my truck, but I'm gonna go bigger so I may wind up selling it for cheap.
