GM 6.0 LQ4 ENG 550HP BASE

This is an LQ4 based engine with LS3 Aluminum heads making a very streetable 550HP+. Expect big mid to upper end power, will have a noticeable idle. For optimal Performance you will need headers, chassis dyno tune and 36lb injectors. Your engine may not necessarily come with all components listed, but they are listed as our recommendations of parts to run for optimal performance. This engine can be used as an upgrade for the 2001-2007 Chevy trucks with the LQ4 6.0L or swapped into many other applications. ECM MUST BE TUNED, not doing so can damage the engine. A PCV valve must be ran; please follow the valve cover instructions provided. You must also run an Air-Oil separator system such as the Moroso #85487 to capture the excess crankcase vapors LS engines are known for. If you are not running a MAP Sensor, the MAP timing option in the timing control box must be zeroed out all the way across. Failure to do so will allow the controller to add timing which can lead to detonation. You must also run some sort of a steam line kit that dumps to your water pump, radiator or radiator hose; we recommend a 4 corner setup like the Trick Flow #TFS-306SB601. This allows air pockets/hot spots to escape the heads and can also be used to purge out trapped air when filling the radiator for the first time.
