What would you guys recommend for bang for buck power on my silverado 5.3.

1: new ls2 motor $5000
2: used / new 6.0 then add heads and cam (or atleast cam)

Add to my 5.3
1: heads
2: cam
3: long tubes

I say go with number 2, or get the squeeze. Hard to beat that for the money to hp ratio..

there is no replacement for ...well you know the old addage is true but the 5.3 can put out some good numbers with the right combo.

I tend to think that bolting on a Radix supercharger is the best bang for the buck.

5000 for a motor plus labor and supporting mods
5600 for a COMPLETE supercharger kit that goes on your 5.3 and makes it feel like a big block.

i hope he wouldnt pay 5000 grand for a 6.0 i say $1500 at the most for one in tip top shape.
