TUNED !!!!!!!

[#1taho]

well finially finished. 6.0 LQ9 and rebuilt 4L65 and dyno tunned. 288 to the rear wheels on 89 octain. I am sure I can get more but for a daily driver and family mover I was happy with it optimized. It is a far far far more power than the 5.3. In the tune I got all the normal timing,fuel trim adjusted, shift points and line pressure boosted,took the speed limiter off,raised the rev limiter,no torque management, Vatts removed and the Efans turned on so all I have to do is plug them in to the computer. I think that was all. Runs and drives like a new truck. So for the Canadians in the Toronto area Champion motor sports is where I got it done. The answered every question and let me help and watch with every step. Keven was an amazing guy there. I have a video but can't up load it. Crapp

Glad to see everthing went well! How much hp u got at the crank? What all mods are done to the engine or is it completely stock?

I have a few small mods left. They will retune for free. The guy was telling me I should have 370-390 to the crank. Factory Hp is 345. Not too I think it's up that high but it feels good.

It moves as quick as a Civic now. LOL hit the pedal and Gone......

Yeah Way better, I think there may have been something wrong in the old motor but hard to tell cause it ran so good, but no power,It was a dog on the high way

5.3 city miliage 11.5-13mpg high way 13-15.5 summer
6.0 with 5.3 tune 16.7mpg on the high way and 14 in the city. After the tune 16.5-16.7 so far on the highway @ 80 mph and no report on the city yet. on the Dyno it was down to 14.7, Obviously
More power and a bit more miliage and a Hell of alot more FUN factor !! Thats a win for me!I have a trip this weekend and can't wait to have some fun with it. should be about 800km round trip.

Nice work Chris!

makes me curious on what I could achieve for my 5.3. 245k miles and i was looking to rebuild. I might just do that....

 

[#1taho]

I found a good used one, I heard it run and bought it. It took a few months to find it but well WELL worth it.

My 6.0 should be here today so will be going in this weekend, i ordered my bb tune so hopefully ill have that soon too! Cant wait!

That is awesome. That's the biggest shortcoming with my truck. It really could use more power, and more torque. I have a 1993 Ramcharger 5.9 with only 230 horsepower, but it never feels sluggish like my 5.3 does at times, I think because of the torque.

This is something I'd like to do, but my 5.3 is chugging along perfectly with 165k miles, so won't be messing with it any time soon. Enjoy your truck.

Not sure if you have done a LS engine change but it's easy and possible to have it out and back in, in a day.
Is yours comming with pan and covers?
