I would like to hear somebody chime in with some more details I am swapping a 5.3 with a LS6 cam, intake, LT headers and would like to see what it puts down through a M6. I will have mine done in a couple of months when ever I have time to finish it but I will have it dyno tuned this spring/summer.

With a bone stock internals LM7 5.3 with an ls1 intake, pacesetter headers, and a tune my car put down 271hp/306tq.

Threw a TR224 and a ls6 intake on it and made 322hp/331tq.

Both pulls were on the same dynojet in almost exactly the same conditions.

Hope that helps.

A4. I thought 345 340 was some pretty good numbers for a 5.3 cam only with 150k miles and the truck intake.

Well its not bad. Its just I was told I would be making more power by swapping to the 5.3 from the gen1 but It doesnt seem like much of a gain. But i did get my car tuned today and it is definitley faster than before. Mine if cam, headers,y, p+p maf, stock ls1 intake and tb.
