I was wondering would a 5.3L be better than a 4.8L even though it's in a slightly heaver truck? Does the 5.3L have more HP potential? Thanks in advance.

 

The 5.3 would be a better investment than the 4.8. It would be able to handle more HP and just all out run better

 

If you are asking who would win stock, a 5.3 ext cab would beat a 4.8 single cab everything else being the same.

 

not necessarely(sp)
the 4.8L can be just as fast on motor as a 5.3L..
now go to a 6.0L and thats a diffrent ballgame.

 

I was killin 5.3L ec when I was all stock. And the 5.3L sc sb would only get me by half a truck.

 

How much does the RC and the EC weigh?

 

If i remember correctly, the ec is around 400 pounds or so more.

 

same here and im a 4x4

 

Good trash bro. I love my LR4 (4.8L). It maybe small but it kicks some ***!!

 

You might have gotten a freak 4.8 like Hyper's.... but those are not typical resultrs. It also it depends on what year. I see you have an 04. Where these 03+ 5.3 ecsb you were killing? What about gears? Where they any different?
