thats what I though, but for some reason im like 99% my LQ9 (06 denali) doesnt have the "vortex max" logo on the cover.

Is the "vortex max" lq9 out of those select silverado's with the 6.0?

The Vortec ** 6000 or VortecMAX is a special high-output version of the Vortec 6000 V8 truck engine originally designed for Cadillac. This engine was introduced in other truck lines as VortecMAX for 2006. It features high-compression (10:1) flat-top pistons for an extra 10 hp (7.5 kW) and 10 ft·lbf (14 N·m), bringing output to 345 hp (257 kW) and 380 ft•lbf (515 N•m). LQ9s are built only in Romulus, Michigan. GM also listed it as based on LS architecture.[24]

Not exactly the same engine. Bigger hp and more compression (i think)

gary- yours is just a 6.0 (denali) eskys have vmax
