LQ9 information..

[justinmc978]

can someone give me a link or explain the LQ9 6.0l

looking at it, it has more displacement and torque than an ls1 but roughly the same hp, why is that?

is it basically a direct swap with a '98 ls1, or is there much more involved?

would you suggest an ls6 or an lq9 to replace?

thanks guys

looking at it, it has more displacement and torque than an ls1 but roughly the same hp, why is that?

Because engines don't make horsepower, they convert fuel into torque. That is a function of displacement. Horsepower is a function of that displacement and RPM. The truck engine does not generate as much torque high in the RPM range as the LS1, by design.

I left things out for the purpose of oversimplification.

It has more displacement, but also has heads and cam designed for lower end torque.

My stroker is a LQ9.
