Speed Secrets: Does Size Really Matter? How Much? Dyno Testing A 5.3 vs 6.0 Stock, Modified, And Stroked To See How Much Cubes Really Matter


Speed Secrets: Does Size Really Matter? How Much? Dyno Testing A 5.3 vs 6.0 Stock, Modified, And Stroked To See How Much Cubes Really Matter

Bigger is always better right?  Well maybe not. Or maybe so. Hmmm, is the jury out? Maybe. In todays horsepower video Richard pits a 5.3 vs a 6.0 to see which one is best stock, modified and then when equipped with a stroker kit. Will the stroked 5.3, at 383 cubic inches be as good as the 408 made from the 6.0? I can tell you that I have been around for tests of both combinations and they are impressive. I love a stroked 5.3 combo, and have made well over 1,000 horsepower with one with a little street cam and some boost. And all without doing anything that would be considered radical or too crazy for a street car. But does that make it better than the 6.0 is in this battle? Watch and see.

Here is the video description from Richard.

JUNKYARD LS COMPARISON-5.3L & 6.0L-STOCK. MOD & STROKER! HOW MUCH POWER DOES A STOCK 5.3L OR 6.0L MAKE? WHAT ABOUT WITH A FEW MODS LIKE PORTED HEADS, CAMS AND INTAKE? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STROKE AND POKE A 5.3L OUT TO 383 CUBIC INCHES? HOW ABOUT WHEN YOU DO THE SAME TO A 6.0L AND PRODUCE A 408 STROKER? HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE DOES THE ADDED CUBIC INCHES REALLY MAKE? IS BIGGER REALLY THAT MUCH BETTER?
