Default 408 truckmanifold kit

well I started thinking about putting a stroker crank into my 6.0 iron build the only concern I have is the flowing capability of the 2.5" crossover and the manifolds. I have already decided against large tubular headers for a couple of reasons and was wondering if any of you have done such a big motor with the truck manifolds.

fyi on setup 370" S80 t6 flanged 4"dp and exhaust, ported heads, ls6 intake

They'll flow enough, if you are worried about the crossover, make it 3.0 instead of 2.5.

The biggest restriction is at the turbine housing, running 3'' wont change anything but maybe make it spool slower. The 6.0's have worked great on larger motors then you are considering running.

2.5 is the most common. The exit at the 6.0l manifolds are around that size, and when you neck it down at the compressor housing. Even a t6 flange/exhaust housing doesnt outflow (2) 2.5 pipes.

We have ran 2.5" on our 408 to 1500+ hp. We'll be running 2.5" on our 427 also.
