Do you guys have any plans in the near future on doing a build series like you did with the LM7 5.3, except doing one for the 6.0 Ls? I am going to build one myself but am not sure what power combinations to use to achieve 500hp to the flywheel. It is only going to be street driven, never raced, not a daily driver but do plan on driving it at least 2-3 days a week maybe more. Thank you in advance for any info.

Hey there!

Thanks so much for watching the series!

So, I'm sure I will do a 6.0 build at some point in the future but there is nothing on the schedule for it as of now. However, there is a ton of crossover between the 5.3 and 6.0. You can use many if not all the same parts we did and end up making a bit more power due to your increased displacement. Just increase your compression ratio to 11:0 and have your heads ported and polished like we did, and you will be made in the shade.

Thank you for using 2CarPros, if you have any other questions, please let me know!

Best,
Ryan
