.040 HEAD GASKET
CUSTOM COMP 235/242 CAM
1 7/8 LONG TUBES

Hopefully its 11.5:1 and not 11:5.
Besides, would be a waste to go through the trouble of forging it for 10.5:1 compression.

Not sure if we bumped it 11:5:1 due to nitrous being in the future plans

I don't get the low ball numbers. This is a 6.0l. Not an ls1. Good heads, 23x/24x cam, 1 7/8 headers, fast 102, M6. My buddies h/c 6.0l, still on ls6 intake, y-pipe single exhaust out the back. Made close to 470rwhp. Of coarse all depending on rest of setup & dyno. Exhaust/induction. I'd guess about 450+.

I think the low-balling is because some believe that the 85mm MAF is choking it.

G atsma what are your thoughts on the MAF? I was going to upgrade to a bigger MAF but my tuner said i wouldn't gain anything from doing so. Reputable tuner from New Jersey
