Not if you plan on doing a motor swap, if you don't plan on it, then yes. The smaller 4.8/5.3 motors are just in the edge of being under powered. If you tune them, they are good. If you've ever had the 6.2, you'd wonder why they even produced them. The later model Ly6's work great for the money, nice heads, low compression and pretty easy to come by.Originally posted by Pro88LX View PostDoing enough racing for 99% of the board!Comment

Honestly from a roll, you can't tell. From a dig, night and day. They are both rated in the new trucks over 300 hp. The early model trucks just under and over 300.Doing enough racing for 99% of the board!Comment
