Default How much boost are you guys running on stock short block w/6.0 heads?

I wanted to know how much boost you guys are running on stock short block with the 317 heads? I am planning on getting them soon and was hoping to run 10-12psi. 5psi will be my dd setting but I want to up it at the track and incounters on the street. Also what is the compression after the swap? I plan on porting the heads slightly as well. I am hoping for at least 550rwhp, is this a practical number?

i ran stock shortblock+untouched 6.0 heads+LS6 intake on a front mount setup i have for sale and it ending up making 505+rwhp/550rwtq @ 8psi. But then again i live in Florida and the elevation here makes cars move alot better than other places(and make better numbers in some cases)...In other places you probably will have to run more boost to make up the difference and see nicer numbers. good luck on ur build tho!

i wouldnt go over 500-550 on a stock motor, just because im paranoid like that lol....just make sure your tune is amazingly good and safe if not it will eventually blow up with 2psi of boost and 400rwhp lol not really but it could happen

When I had a stock shortblock with a small cam and 317 heads I made 660 rwhp and 651 rwtq at 12 psi. It was a ton of fun. Never broke from abuse. And I certainly romped on it ALOT.
Here is the dyno graph but I can't make out the rpm's on it so it annoying.



Lemme know if you have any Q's

Stock 5.3 shortblock w/ 6.0 heads. 15psi boost and a 50 shot of nitrous. Been in the car for 2 years and driven like its stolen. Holding just fine. Based on vehicle weight/ET/MPH its calculated about 640hp.
