Some Questions

[mpowell625]

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....
