limits of the ls6 block Okay a local performance mechanic is trying to sell me a refreshed race engine. It is an ls6 that went a 9.6 (high Colorado elevation) in a quarter mile in a vette. It is $8,000 for installing and tune. It will be re ringed and new bearings. What do you guys think? I'm still wanting an ls3 I think...

It will have the same reliability issues of any aluminum.
Harlan went 8.3 with an LS6 block back in 2003 or 2004.
I made 867rwhp with one, only went 9.40 I didn't want to go faster than the guys on here and give them a complex.

With a build list of "all forged parts", I would pass. There is way too much detail there to make an educated decision...
