So I'm trying to educate myself on the 6.0's. I know the 9 has the higher comp pistons, but I'm having trouble finding a shortblock lq9. I want to just swap my 243's and possibly cam I have now into the 6.0. So would there be a whole lot of difference in the 9 vs the 4 especially with nitrous? I can find lq4 all day long, so I'm hoping it would be ok. I just didn't know how much difference in hp n/a and nitrous there would be in the two.

 

Are we talking stock LQ4 and LQ9? I transfered over my HCI from my LS1 to my current LQ9 and make 11.5:1 compression. I works great n/a and even better on the nitrous

 

Yep, stock rotating assy, sans cam

 

With smaller shots of nitrous you won't see much difference between the two, but running n/a you would with the compression difference

 

Planning on usually spraying 150, but may occasionally hit it with 175-200. Also will be using the 243 heads and may use my tsunami cam, but more than likely will swap to something better.

 

Gotcha! Yep it's all in how much you wanna spend
