I don't know how you would outrun an L on just motor. The L's are supercharged, so good luck.
If you want to come close, umm...I dunno where to start...
1)cam+tuning (~$700)
2)Intake ($200)
3)exhaust ($1000)
The essence of horsepower is getting air and fuel in and out of an engine as fast as possible.(right guys?)
Intake and exhaust helps, and a bigger cam lets more fuel+air in.
I also have a 4.8 and would like to wake it up a bit, that's probably what I will do.

He's only got 2Gs man.
That reminds me, I got an Eaton posi and 4.10 gears for $800 installed. While that doesn't add power, it got the power I have to the ground. Before I was doing the infamous "one wheel peel" and wouldn't go anywhere. Now, the Eaton hooks up, the 4.10s haul better, and I'm outta there. Not to mention the fun you can have with the Eaton when going around corners.

I was looking at either a Crane cam...or a Comp cam. It depends on where you want the power. Alot of guys say when you add a cam you lose some low end, but a Yank 3000 will take care of that problem. A cam will need tuning to get the most out of it

He can't do it for $2000 unless he sprays the devil out of it.With ASM headers,Yank 3000,4.10s a Eaton posi and a 150 shot he might make it for $2000.
