It's going to take some serious heads and big cam to get there with the lower compression pistons in the LQ4.

Not going to happen with the LS3 top end unless you mill the heck out of them and get the compression up close to 11:1

I seen some guys made around 480rwhp on that setup... I'm just hoping my custom grind cam can put out a lil more power... Ehhhhh and they also didn't mill the heads...

I had a stock LS2 GTO shortblock with stock LS3 heads with a cam and crappy midlength headers on 91 octane with a T56. Made 460rwhp. With long tubes I'm guessing it would've gained another 20rwhp. Stock LS3 intake.

You are cam limited with a 4.0" bore due the large 2.16" intake valve.

With some TFS/AFR heads and higher compression you could reach that number.

Oh ok, nice man! And maybe some port work to the heads could have put u closer to that 500rwhp area... I run 93 octane and vp 112 octane at times

I'm trying to do a kinda budget build lol... So no tfs/afr heads for me.

You've seen a 9.2:1 compression ratio 6.0 make 480rwhp with ported L92s and LS3 intake manifold?

A 6.0 with a 4" bore will need over 11.0:1 compression with a FAST and some sick flowing heads to come anywhere close to 500rwhp. You can make the L92 heads flow good numbers, but you are very far behind in terms of compression and intake flow.

I'm running a lq4 stock bore stroker with 9.5 comp large 248/260 at 615 636 solid lift and patriot stage 3 heads. dynoed at 491 rwhp 457rwqt @6,700 rpms. fast intake, long tube and m6. But thinking of trying ls3 heads and bump comp to get over the 500rwhp
