BELLT

Lots of useful information on this site. I'm new to the LS engine and I'm building my first one in a 2006 chevy 2500hs lq4 6.0. I pull some but not all the time.

Needs to know if my set up im going with is a good foundation.

Lq4 6.0 block
20 over with flat top pistons no valve relief.
243 heads stock
Tsp 216/220 .600 cam 112ls
Ls7 lifter
Matching springs and pushrods
High flow and pressure oil pump
Bullet timing set
Shorty headers (for now)
3in exhaust dual
Stock truck intake manifold
Cold air intake
Stock converter .
Stock crank and rods
Will be tuned...
Currently at a 11.1 cr. Hoping to get it down a little with head gasket.

Curious as to possibly what kind of power I'll be making.

Any advice would be helpful.

I will admit I'm a ford guy but got (thought) a good deal on truck till motor went 3 days after purchase.

Thanks in advance. Sorry if I posted wrong.

Sound like a good list you have going. The cam is on the small side for a 370ci motor and you may want to research how the truck converter will handle a bigger cam. Might have to upgrade to a higher stall.

Welcome to the dark side by the way.

Will probably get more info if you post in the Gen III engine section.

Invest in a stall and a larger cam

If you pull with the truck, keep that cam and stock converter. It will still be very tame and have lots of torque.

Everyone here seems to think you need a monster cam for absolutely no reason.
