If you weren't far away, I'd help you swing it in. I'm actually pulling the 5.3 out of my Avalanche on Friday and dropping in a 6.0 that I picked up. A good cam and some LS2 heads with upgraded springs and I'll be ready to rock! I figure probably take all day. I have most of the process worked out in my head.

very sweet, that thing will move pretty good after that... did they ever put 6.0s in em other then the caddy version, i think the 3/4 tons came with 8.1s didnt they?

The only trucks that received a 6.0 were the 1500HD, Silverado SS, and 2500 series and up. The 2500 Series Avalanche did come with the 8.1. The 1500 only got a 5.3 which is bad. It weighs 5600 lbs.

ok so i am set on what i want for now. i know that they make a supercharger for for the 4.8L too but first thing is the instalments then maybe the super or procharger. i have heard good reviews on prochargers for the 4.8L.

You could either get yourself some more displacement, or go with a power adder. One of the benefits to going right to a power adder is that you won't suffer from the lower fuel economy of a bigger engine.

ok thats not to big of a problem this is my everyday driver though. i don't know about the add on right away. i would first like to get what i can out of the little 4.8L but not too over board. you know intake, heads/exhaust, cam, power chip.

Don't do a power chip like Hypertech, anyone will tell you that. You can do a mail order tune or pick up HP Tuners and DIY. There is a lot of information out there on tuning.
