Here is a video of my LQ9 6.0L with an EPS cam (234/246 @ .050 with .602"/.607" lift on a 111 LSA) running on an my friends engine run stand, for "Cold-Idle" tuning before the engine goes into my car. I am hoping it will prove a lil more stout then the previous STOCK 1998 5.7L LS1 that used to be in the car.
stock 317 heads? what is your compression ratio? i am working on a similar build except with 243 heads

@dre2013 Yes, it will have the Factory Stock LQ9 "317" heads. I believe GM rates the LQ9 at 10:1. So it will be a very mild pump gas street engine.

The LQ9 is from a 2004 Cadillac Escalade from LQK Auto Recyclers (junk yard).

@rodyisrael Swapping an LS1 into a car is actually easier then you may think.
I normally have a friend named Anthony (Username: aknovaman on ls1tech. com/forums) do most of the wrenching or tuning I need done on my car, so he would probably be much more knowledgeable as well as more qualified to correctly answer your questions.
