Interesting site for LS base

[Wasted Income]

Ok...let me help you out, Andy.

I did a budget build for my brother's Monte Carlo SS. Junkyard LQ4, stock, non-ported 317 heads with dual valvesprings, hardened comp pushrods, STOCK ROCKERS (lol), LS6 intake with stock CTS-V injectors, Comp Cams XR281HR, 228/230, .571"/.573" - 112 LSA, longtube headers....thru a 4L80E with a 9.5-inch, 3400-stall converter.

Stock PCM street-tuned by me.

Made 409 whp on the motor, and 536 whp on a "150" shot of spray.

It's a very, very basic LS build....and very budget friendly, and runs consistent 11.50s on the bottle.

Now see that is what I want. Can I ask why you changed the intake. I would like to keep the truck intake. Could I do everything but the intake and bottle and get close to 400?

Willie Makeit,
this is what I was thinking to but then everybody starts adding stuff and you don't know what did what.

I think that getting close to 400 with those mods on a 6.0 would be pretty easy. Like the others have said, call some sponsors and talk to them, they are usually more than willing to help. I used Texas Speed, and they were very helpful.

Intake was changed for hood clearance and aesthetics. The truck intake is no slouch, and has been proven to flow very well...it's just FUGLY.

Should still be a solid 400 whp ride with a truck intake.
