With flat top pistons all you need is a mid to upper 220 cam and CNC'd 243 heads to get you in that HP range on a 6.0. I am expecting that you have an intake and exhaust system to handle the correct air flow.

You are correct about the LQ4.
Have Patrick G spec you a custom cam. It is well worth a few bucks to get what you want. He knows his stuff...
