Carburated LQ9 guys? Got some questions Ok so i need the intake manifold, carburetor, and MSD box.
Will the stock LQ9 cam run good on a carburated application?
What fuel pump are you guys using? And how did you convert it to work with your stock tank if you were previously fuel injected?

I ended up going with fuel injection on my LQ9, but was looking into a carb setup first.
The LQ9, 6.0L runs the same cam as the LS1 5.7. Fine for a daily driver but the carb intake and heads can flow A LOT more than that cam can support.
If you're interested in lots mor hp in the 5000+ rpm range a simple cam/spring swap and headers add a lot.
Good article here.
