6.0 build Suggestions
Hey guys i have finally been convinced to join the LS world. I have been stuck with the old style engines. I have a buddy that has a ls1 in a S-10 running some mid 8's and have a buddy that is the one that convinced me to jump into the LS world when he built a LS1 engine to go in his cutlass. He did it just to prove a point to me and my other buddies. But anyway i am wanting to build a 6.0 engine and want to be somewhere in the low 9's to mid 8's. The engine is goin into a 2000 firebird. Or am i going backwards trying to build the 6.0 engine. I would love the help guys

You have a lot or research to do if you are shooting for mid 8's with a Gen IV car. Look over the sticky's in the Forced Induction section for starters.
Be prepared to spend a lot of money on engine, drivetrain and suspension to get this fast. 1000+ rwhp does not come cheap and is not easy on parts.

6.0 LS1 is a good start for a cheap build but you have to remember that this block is heavy. With that being said you can build a pretty stout turbo motor out of it and you can go a little bigger on the bore size and build a 416ci. turbo/supercharged motor that would be good for alot of power. Good luck in your build.

@odarabla thanks for the info i am planning on using nitrous instead of forced induction but i appreciate the help im hoping this forum helps me out for the most part during my research. I am going to research and research and accept ideas before i buy anything and start building. But i am open to any suggestions on a build and if 6.0 is not neccessary a good route let me know

@odarabla i understand what u are saying. i know to take the forced induction off and sub with the nitrous. I just dont know what combo as far as parts to build and ls engine. Like i stated this LS world is all new to me. I am use to the old engines and jus now getting into the LS world. I know im prob makin myself sound dumb and getting on alot of people nerves.lol but thanks for the help everyone
