I have a 6.0l 2500HD 4x4 and i think stock is 300 or 310hp. The new silverado SS has the 6.0l engine in it right? If so does anyone know how they grabbed about an extra 100 ponies outa it?

its only putting out 45 more than a normal 6.0. That's all I know

345 for the SS, dunno what it is for the regular. Maybe a different cam, different computer tuning. Could be alot of things. I bet you can get alot more than 345 out of a 6.0 though.

its a High OutPut with more psi's of fuel into the injector's and a larger valve bearthing room .

didnt they downgrade the performance of the 6.0 in the SS because the drivetrain couldnt handle it or something? I coulda sworn I heard that somewhere...

I guess you could say that because they didn't put a big block in it :flame:

No way. its all wheel drive so the torque is split between two driveshafts and it has a Heavy Duty 6.0 tranny.

ahh ok i thought it was around 400hp i guess im an idiot thanks a lot for pointing it out assholes :drool:

Overall i think a truck with 345 as a companys "fast truck" is kind of sad. I wouldn't mind having that motor sitting in my engine bay though :bowtie:

i think the ss could be more radical on the outside then just cast iron 20's and a bumber. I cant imagine how heavy they are

The HP gets more and more every year my friend...... you wouldn't be saying that a few years ago, now would you?

 

[zubyc]

No because a few years ago there weren't so many other trucks out there offering stronger motors
