Talkin to a guy I know about doin a supercharger setup on my truck and he was saying his friends chevy 1500 6.0l with a whipple that runs 8 lbs. of boost makes 600 hp. at the wheels. if i remember right built5.4 said he's runnin 16-17 lbs. of boost with his motor and is somewhere around 450hp/520 tq if i remember right. so is there that big of a difference between the chevies and fords?!

 

I wonder if someone may STREEEAAAACH the truth

 

That's what I was thinking. I guess I'll just have to hurry up and get this project on the road and kick his ***!

 

I used to work with a guy that had a 2002 2500 with the 6.0l engine. He said that from the factory horsepower at the flywheel was rated at 345 if I remember correctly. If you ever get a supercharger on your truck make sure you smoke him and let him know it was by a 5.4

 

I think some one is so full of it their breath stinks and their eyes are brown. The Silverado Max has the 6.0 and only maked 367HP.

 

some one told me to stick a holley carburetor and a 250 computer in my truck and ill be making 600 horses and 1326 torque.

i think its funny how he came up with the exact amount of torque ill have.

 

I guess it's got headers, corsa exhaust, dart stage 3 big flow heads, cam. I don't think that equals out to 600 hp?

 

I have no idea what he would be making for power, but its probably some pretty big numbers.

As far as I know built54 is running basicly a stock Lightning block and blower with a few other things, dont quote me on that though.

The 6.0 is a decent sized motor...add good heads and a cam (which is a HUGE part of making big power) along with a Whipple and some other supporting mods, and your def. going to be making some power.


Chevy has always been ahead of Ford in the horsepower department...

 

Here's the deal.

A good friend of mine has a Silverado SS with a 6.0. It has a Radix blower, cam, headers, CAI, converter blah blah blah. Never been on the dyno but he bought it just to beat me.
I have the HD F150, blown 5.4 and a few mods On the dyno, I put down 380 to the wheels. This is a dead nuts accurate Dyno Dynamics, not a "guess-o-matic" Dynojet.

He runs 13.7 in the quarter. I run 12.9

600hp at the wheels for a Chevy? Nah

 

Alright, one night I had my dads 02' F-250 7.3 and it has a 90 horse superchip in it. Well for our homecoming we always build a float and run it in the parade for our school (freshman class- senior class). Well last year a friend of mine also so happened to drive his dad's (not sure what year I'm guessing a 06') 2500 with the 6.0 gas motor in it. So we raced and I can honestly say I had dad's truck to the floor and only won by half a truck link. Deffinately suprised the **** out of me i thought I'd kill him..

 

It's very possible to get 600HP (and more) from a 6.0L GM engine.... naturally aspirated! The question is "how much do you want to spend?"
