6.6L LBZ Duramax Specifications

6.6L LBZ Duramax Specs & Information

2006-2007 GM LBZ Duramax Diesel Specs & Insight

The LBZ Duramax is one of the most highly sought after diesels today. Why?It’s more powerful than the LLY or LB7 Duramax and has almost none of the emissions found on the LMM, LML, and L5P trucks. The LBZ is only equipped with the exhaust gas recirculation system and lacks the diesel particulate filter and diesel exhaust fluid systems found on newer Duramax trucks. These trucks produce 360 Horsepower and 650 lb/ft torque and feature a beefier composition than the LLY. Find out more 6.6L LBZ Duramax specifications below.

LBZ – The Duramax of Choice for Racing

The LBZ Duramax is commonly used in race applications because it offers easy power on a slightly more durable platform than the LB7 or LLY. It has a stronger block casting, stronger rods, and an ECM that makes tuning these trucks super productive and easy. At UCC this last year, we saw multiple LBZ Duramax trucks killing it at both the track and the dyno. Over 1,000 horsepower and 2,000 lb/ft of torque were surpassed by several LBZ Duramax builds.
