The part that shows your truck went 13.3 on a GTECH with a basically stock 6.0 or the part about what happens when you get a lean spike with a 150 shot?
How accurate is you GTECH vs Real track? I am sure you probably have yours pretty well dialed in with all the testing you do.
I think this thing again boils down to how much does he want to spend, is he capable of his own 6.0 swap and/or what is his capabilities??

the lean spike and broken piston doesn't have much to do with this thread. the 13.3gtech on a lq4 do. typicaly the gtech is about .3 faster than my actual track time. it was cold out too so figure a couple of tenths for that but then he is about 200lbs less than me so that puts it back around 13.6.
awhile back it seems like someone in a tahoe was running 13's with a Lq9 and a stall. anyone remember that or who it was?
i am not trying to talk him into a motor swap but even if he pays someone to do all the work to his truck the 6.0 swap and stall are still some of the best bang's for the buck.

Somehow I just realized we drifted from his original question of trying to do this with a 5.3. I think we dreamed up the 6.0 and the LQ9 6.0.

Stock 6.0L's put down roughly 290rwhp add a mild cam to that which might add 20rwhp and a mild stall which effectively adds 30-40rwhp and your there. He's got a set of headers also which would put this combo well over the top. You're right about him wanting to do it with a 5.3L, I completely overlooked that fact.
If that is the case then BlownChevy needs to get MagnaCharger cracking on a RADIX setup for the Rainiers.

Oh well I guess it all boils down to how deep his pockets are and how much he wants to devote to this project!

The stall in your truck should be the same as a trailblazer stall which has been giving decent results behind 6.0L engines. Welcome to the site.

Get an I6 Trailblazer converter. A mild Yank3000 or Precision converter would be ok too.

Hey guys thanks for all the awesome replies! Let me answer a few questions some of you had.
Budget: For this project is approx. $7,500 no more than $10k. It might sound like a lot but don't forget labor. I can turn a wrench but due to two jobs, no garage and this being my daily driver I can't afford to have this car up on jacks days on end, so that means outsourcing most of the labor.
I want to stay away from the laughing gas. Whatever power buildup I finally settle on I want it to be always on. I'm just to damm lazy to keep filling that thing back up.
FI. The main reason I want to stay away from this is that there is no kit currently made for my platform. The one thing I have learned from hanging out on LS1.com (when I used to have a 98 T/A) is that you want a kit thats complete and made for your truck. Otherwise the plumbing can be a real PIA and your going to need custom fabrication, which means extended down time (remember daily driver) and much more expensive. FI is great, IF, you have a complete finished package from a reputable builder. Believe me if Magnacharger had a kit with I/C for my Rainer I wouldn't have posted this.
So it's looking more and more like a 6.0 transplant. One of the things that has me concerned about the transplant is adding more weight on the front of the nose. I don't understand why my 5.3 is all aluminum and the 6.0 is still iron block. I was crossing my fingers for an LS2 in the 05 Rainer, but I guess that was wishful thinking. I guess I'm just gonna have to live with the iron block.
Another issue that my hinder me from doing the transplant is the CV joints up front go through the oil pan of the 5.3 block. Will my 5.3 oil pan will simply bolt up to the bottom of the 6.0 iron block?
Finally, Since I want a turnkey 6.0 with H/C already done by an engine builder who would you guys recommend. Also what heads and what CAM should I get keeping in mind I want the best performance while passing emissions. It would be nice if the FASTEST TRUCK list had a column for whether or not that specific buildup was able to pass emissions.
Thanks again guys!

Easy with that kind of budget! Will you adopt me??

Good Idea!

I wish too! post some pics of the engine bay...I got some ideas

Or bore and stroke the Alum 5.3

Yes it will

There are several sponsors that can do this...I know Parish seems to be pretty much up and running on his 408 from CM.
