The I6 TB stalls a little high in a Silverado behind a V8. Alot of guys use those on PT.net as a cheap near 3k stall TC. Zippy's truck runs low 14s and he said the 6.0 with those heads and the TR224 cam from a kick would hang with his truck. Traction I believe was the biggest issue because it was a single traction. I was very impressed with the build, if you send that cam through the stok exhaust and catback you will barely notice it, the cubes will absorb alot of the lope. Please if your tuner is good you should get by without it being an issue. I would though look into the stock TB I6 TC. Do a search on PT

375 rwhp. Hell I don't know with those damn autos they can do so much silly ****. They can read stupid low or can surprise you and read almost like a stick car. Plus torque converter tricks and dyno's vary as well. There are too many things with an auto to put forth a good guess.

Right on the money
375-385rwhp is my guess

Are you certain your wife can handle it? Your ultimate goal, regardless of engine displacement, should be nothing less than putting her in a vehicle that you have the utmost confidence in. That means nothing breaking, always reliable and easy for her to drive. Are you building that?
