The cam supported 538. The main difference will be the heads, CAI, and possibly compression?

Hey any new thread around these parts is nice these days lol. I'm partial to a strong ls6 myself. I recently sold mine, so I will have to live vicariously through yours. Get some track times already!

I am currently installing on my sbe ls1 mamo 220s, mamo msd, and a llsr, so I’m very interested in your build.

I’m an A4 so I won’t put down as much power as you will.

Oh man that sucks. Loved seeing your results with the ls6!

Why did you sell yours? Bigger project?

DOH!! Idk about a 250 but some spray could happen at some point. It's pretty much set up for na on ring gaps.

Yea i sold it while the motor was still strong and worth something. I had been spraying it with a 250 shot for quite awhile and it never skipped a beat. Built a forged 6.0, big heads, super vic, twice as much spray. The stock ls6 was great and it had more in it. just didn't want to end up with a worthless pile of scrap at the end of it lol

Awesome. Good luck with that. Strong setup and the A4 should scoot. I had the same with a built bottom 4" stroke for a short while.

Idk.....looking at darths dyno it should peak right at 7k rpm. So whatever produces the best results after that. Engine should be fine to atleast 8k rpm. A good guess would likely be in the 7400-7800 range depending on which gear I'm shifting from.
