I think everyone but Don was in for the SC from day one.
Nick. I recommended supercharging a while back so I’m on the same page. However just for curiosities sake is there a mpg difference between the super and a set of small parallels twin turbos? Sized right, which is no small feat, there is very little lag in the spool. I do agree that there is much more complexity which leads to problems like you mentioned long term with leaks etc. Just curious about mileage given some parasitic loss.
So, I just sent a message to two members who had expressed interest in the 6.0 motor.I'll wait to see what their response is, then offer it publically.But on the motor thing, I wanted to score the square port heads. With this 6.2 motor, those heads are already there. the send out to port and fix up, finishes that.The short block is something I have been thinking about. So, I will be starting with a motor with 100K on the rotating assembly. I am asking myself if that makes sense. From what I have read, some people say that although the rods are better in the gen 4 motor, the pistons may be the weak link. So that begs the question, should I upgrade the pistons to some forged units??? And if I am tearing down to do that, obviously, I would be replacing the bearings. If I had the motor torn down that far, then cam bearings should be replaced as well, I thinkNow if I am going through all that business, why not drop a stroker kit in the bottom end which already has the pistons/rings, bearings, a nice forged crank and super strong rods? But not that I am there, I am adding a bunch of cost to the project and did that tip the scales too far and cause me to just stay with the cleaned up 100K short block???And to further complicate things, why not just tear down and restroke the 6.0 block? It's iron and stronger than the 6.2 aluminum block...?!?!And if I went this direction, all I'd have to do is to purchase a ready made set of LS3 heads and be done with it.I am presently stuck in this loop...Lets discuss the merits of going further in the short block.
Question sure you asked, but why port the heads with a blower?Doesn't really help low end at all and higher up your on boost?I'd just get another iron block. Less down time and cheap.
Don you still plan on having Nick tune what you have to get it running correctly before you decide on the rest of the project direction?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I could, BTW, always throw a Texas Speed 408" short block in there later on...
Nick. Not to junk up Dons thread but I have a 2018 denali with the 6.2. What’s the recipe for more hp?

brake booster aside don, did you let nick get a hold of it yet and get it straightened out?!

He said 450. I want to see that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Who would be driving with this mileage increase? Assuming your better half.....
