iron 6.0 isn't much of a power difference...especially with the added weight....I hope that doesn't burst your bubble

SlowgreyZ

i thought it was only 88 pounds and the 6.0 was rated at 345hp.. im gunna do a battery relocation 2

ls1 is underrated at 305...should be closer to 345...the exact same as the iron 6.0

SlowgreyZ

ohh...lol well my ls1 has 166 thousand miles so idk if its worth fixing because i wont have the money to rebuild it the motor im hoping is still good and is just a bad lifter so im gunna try and sell it thanks for the info

I saw a difference going from a tourquer v2 cammed ls1 to the setup i'm runnin now..I think alot of that was just new engine and a better matched cam vs a 115k mile ls1 with a big bumpstick in it. Has always seemed like the 6.0 makes better/smoother power thru the rpm band though.

Modded, you will feel it since the bore allows more air flow and the extra cubes makes more TQ the LS cannot. So, even stock, it should have more seat of the pants feel, if not by much, you will be able to tell i think. Heads and cam LS1s look at my tail lights and i dont even have heads, but my carb and intake out flow nearly any EFI intake so i have an advantage there.

Later down the road u could swap some L92 heads on, I think they flow near LS7 numbers

ZONES89RS

iTrader: (25)

They flow 330, LS7 are around 350 i think.
