you can make a 5.3 as fast as a TBSS, but a few things happen (and don't happen)...
1. You will end up spending the difference, probably more in TBSS price, in mods to get there.
2. You will break **** (tranny, rear, etc...) More $$$.
3. It will never be a TBSS. Take that from the guy that bought a 5.3L Z71, then finally broke down and bought a Silverado SS...There is no comparison when you compare the two trucks overall.
4. When you mod the TBSS, it makes it that much sweeter, now you aren't trying to catch other TBSS's, you are trying to catch Camaros, Trans Ams and eventually Corvettes.
GET THE THINMINTS!!!!!
