The 6.0 Chevy runs good. I drive one for a work truck. It gets decent mileage as well. I have no bad words for the 6.0. I love my Cummins but if I were to buy a Gasser It would be a 6.0

i think the only thing i would buy gasser would be a car, i have had cummins since i start driving and have drove a hemi and few chevys and ford gassers around and they dont even compare to a diesel to me but thats just imo, hemi was the best gasser i have drive thro

what turbo did you get?

A 63/68/12 would smoke that 6.0

Curious, but what flange do we have? T3 or T4? im looking at new turbos for my 96 12 valve.. i have the original h1c and it isnt cutting the mustard! i have moderate mods.. but will 75hp injectors supply enough fuel for a HX40? or bigger Turbo?

Every gasser truck Ive driven has been a disappointment power wise. The owner will talk about how badass his truck is and I should try it out,then he's puzzled when he sees the look of disappointment on my face.

The weight of the diesel vs. the 6.0 is the killer. Weight is far more important to racing than power. Weight of every thing on the cummins is larger, the rotating assembly, the drive train, and the truck itself. If we could lighten the rotating assembly, and the drive train with out killing durability it would make a HUGE difference.
