[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3570759, member: 15054"] I have raced against many 5.3 LS powered cars and trucks and have driven a couple of them and they are not well equipped in the Torque department. I have raced against a 6.0 LQ9 in stock (carbed) and tweaked with Ported heads /cam/rocker upgrade. I will say the 6.0 LQ9 actually impressed me, finally an LS worthy of truck duty. I think you will be impressed. I had old Datsun Z cars from the 240 to the 280 and I loved daily driving them. Very comfy. Everything was set up just right so you would not get arm fatigue or leg fatigue. The one I drove the most was a 1981 280ZX with a 240 engine. Ported head and excellent cam that would pull to 8000 RPM Cartec 4 barrel intake with 4 barrel carb and headers. Busted two 5 speeds and one 4 speed and the last 4 speed i stuck in it lived. That car had over 300,000 hard miles on it. Finally busted the rear end. I liked those cars but I was hard on parts. That engine was anyway. When they went to V6 engines in the Z cars I developed disgust for them. No reason for a V6 when you have a bullet proof inline 6. I love the body style of the 350 and 370Z though. [/QUOTE]
