to get that out of a 5.3, you're really gonna want a blower. it'll drive better, be less work & have that power on tap all the time as opposed to having to refill a bottle.

i know where you're coming from - i didn't wanna open that can of worms myself - i was gonna do heads, cam, & the works, but after talking with MTI & Tom Henry, it just makes so much more sense to slap a Maggie on it & just about call it a day. if i wasn't in the market for a vette, i'd be getting a TVS 1900

I have less than that in my 408 and tvs1900

my advice, build a 370, find a used tvs1900, upgrade the trans and rear end, and drive the hell out of it, maybe some juice for the extra if you want.

nothing wrong with prochargers, but I would rather have a roots style blower or turbo before one...

tvs1900 is a supercharger. whats that mean, hurt the engine? more power = more stress no matter how you do it.

if your friends recommend a spacer then I would really take what they say with a huge grain of salt...
