Dont be scared Jimmy. You saw my silvy run. Over 3 years of a 225 dry shot, big cam, 4k stall. All on stock trany and bottom end. The 180hp dry shot on my Yukon now works great too. Over 30k miles since I bought it and still pushing it harder and harder. LOL
A full exhaust system, headers, y-pipe, mufflers, will be good. A cold air, NOT K&N!!!, and get yourself HPTuners. Just do simple tuning till you learn what your doing. I think we've all heard about my yukon stock running with a truck that had a cammed LS1, stall, and bolt-ons. Tuning can make or break your power big time. With my new job I could afford a new truck every other month, lol, but its all going into my yukon and a rcsb project. Radix is coming soon for the Yukon, and the project truck will be in a couple months.

keep talking crap budy. lol after it was tunned it handed you your ***. towing and not towing lol. anyway back on topic. i can help you learn hpt. its alot better to do it that way. imo. the headers wont fit off the classics they hit the body or frame or something. but they have them for your already. the sts is really good because its power thats always there no need to fill a bottle and you can just take it off if need be and put the muffler back on. your gonna want a stall. my tt3000 is great i can tow and if you drive easy it does too but if you hammer it you know it in there for sure. if you drive easy you won't hardly even know it there. it won't stall to like 3000 ever time just when you want it to. my tahoe takes off at around 1500rpm normal driving. i would do headers if your not going to turbo it. and a good magnaflow exhaust. a good cai. any cam you get in the 4.8 the low ends not going to be great its a short stroke small displacement motor. buuut imay be able to hook you up with a GREAT running 5.3l out of a tahoe soon. lol give me a call. i'm working this weekend but next i should be good.

I didnt name names. lol That cam was damn near impossible to tune. It never ran even close to its potential. IMO, I'll never own another Lingenfelter product again. I called there help line and talked to there cam techs for help tuning that cam and they told me its for the 5.7, not the 5.3. They were no help at all, and actually kinda rude.
I wouldnt say you handed me my ***. Your best run had me by about 1 truck length. Considering the 800lb weight advantage, LS1, cam, stall, it was making less power than a 5.3. I blame that LPE GT1 cam. It just didnt live up to the hype, and with the lack of ANY help from Lingenfelter it was just plain imposible to tune right.
