HEy Guys I have a few about my Max.

 

First I know that the 6.0 is a 383 or at least pretty close, but I had someone tell me it was troked from the factory. Is this true?

 

Second, I would like to put a cold air intake system on it from either K&N or AEW, but I read that you need to get your computer in the truck reset if I use the K&N any one know any thing about this?

 

I can talk about Harley's, but I know little about performance upgrades for the trucks newer that about 86, when they started putting copmputers in them.

 

Thanks

Mike

The 6.0 is a 5.3 bored out which itself is a 4.8 with more stroke I believe.

Not sure about the CAI, but would think a simple mod like that wouldn't make that much of a difference unless it really messes with the A/F ratio which I doubt.

The 6.0 is actually 364ci. Technically, it is not stroked from the factory when the factory releases it. Yeah, I guess you could say it is a stroked 5.3 or bored and stroke 4.8. But, in my opinion a true stroker doesn't come from the factory. It's takes an aftermarket longer crankshaft to be a true stroker.

CAI are a good cheap mod, but don't expect any real gains MAYBE 5hp at WOT. I have one, but it is really just because I like the sound. They make the truck sound more like a truck.

If you want the BEST performance upgrade you can do for your truck, without opening up the engine, then you need to visit this website...

 

www.blackbearperformance.com

Email Justin at that website, and he will make your Vortec Max feel like it has be stroked. You will be amazed at the difference. Plus, a Custom Tune from them is only in the $200-300 range.

6.0 is a 364.

 

You can put a CAI on your truck without tunning it. However; I would recommend looking into Wheatley or black bear if you want some serious gains.

to figure out the cubic inches of an engine, take the Liters and multiply by 61.02374... or for simple just use 61

 

This is the real conversion... ci=liters x 61.02374 how ever there are other variables that can make a difference too... but you will be really close....

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
