6.0 Torque Build?

2500sierra · June 13, 2011

So havent posted in awhile but lately my truck has been operating perfect until acopule days ago i developed an exhaust leak and came to find out between the 2 sides im 5 exhaust bolts have broken off flush with the head, I know ya can extract the bolt.

However I figured if im going to have the heads off why not get a better set, I dont want to go broke so AFR, Dart, and Brodix are out of the question. I have heard good things about the l92 heads will they help much over my stockers? would shaving them for a compression bump be a good idea?

Any good all around towing torque cams available, dont want to do a stall or anything, already have 4.10 gears but i have 35'' tires so that somewhat defeats the purpose ha. Any helps appreciated I know for the old engine I look towards COMP and Crane but with this new stuff I know alot of compaines have some awesome custom grinds.

Also was interested in a different ratio roller rocker installiation, good.....bad expierences?

Intakes? any good aftermarket stuff out there, I hear the vortec intake is pretty good for most nearly stock stuff.

Of course ill already be doing all the normal stuff, Headers, CAI, free flowing exhaust, and of course.

Sorry about the typos but for some reason my browser will not let me move the cursor, ill figure that out tomorrow hopefully you can look past it and help me out...thanks

The L92s are "bigger is better" philosophy which is not the way I would go for a torque build.

Don't be so afraid of a little stall. They are not the sloppy heat builders they were a couple decades ago.

I am looking at a 6.0l in a few days for my truck. I am going to talk to www.advancedinduction.com about the heads and cam. They did the stuff for my street/strip car and I am real happy.

Yea I can see where they would be somewhat overkill for my application. Got any suggestions of a good head, maybe just get mine worked out alittle, or possibly ls6 heads?
