Nice setup.

13xx hp at the wheels? Damn. I need an LSx block and some 6 bolt heads...

Yes, it's a custom make cables, because i'm using a Katech coil bracket set the OEM wire are to short to reach the spark plugs there're about 2" more longer than factories does, the wire set are Taylor 10.4 with ls coil ends.

Naw ya don't. Just the heads....and if you REALLY wanted to I may know someone that has a very nice friend at MAST that can track down their 6bolt heads. I feel you don't need a new block till you blow on a hole in the one you got....and with an gmpp LSX block, you'll blow a hole in the block sooner than you'd like heheh.

really? I thought the GMPP LSX Bowtie block was a sturdy piece...rated for like 2000+hp? No?

I'd be curious how you'd propose bolting a set of 6-bolt heads on an LQ4?

Unless you're talking about a Bill Mitchell or a Warhawk block...in which case I'd still rather have the LSx for less than half the price

There're few ls block manufacturers that they make 6 bolts heads compatible.

GMPP
RHS
Warhakk, but need to buy the head to then, because of bolt pattern is different from GMPP LSX.

Wasted - There are some companies that do 6 bolt conversions but I know 90% of them want the aluminum block to start with. BUT just better heads in general could get you pretty far with some creativity. I'm pretty sure you could go up to 1/2" studs and 0-ring the block and prevent lifting enough to get you there. And maybe its just me, but after reading 20 pages of BS on the lsx blocks over on YellowBullet, I don't know if I want one. Tho the world blocks have been accused of issues as well.

All depend of your application, in my application i broke two lq9 blocks with 1/2" stud and o rings on cylinders at 25 pounds of boost, i run the lsx with the same boost pressure without any issue in a year and it are not O ringed yet. in my experience is good product for the money.
