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

ideas i have:
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
4: efans
5: custom tune

What kinda power can you get from these 5.3 's ?

 

#2 definately on the ideas i have column you will not be dissapointed i love mine.

 

150 horsepower for a $400 nitrous kit aint too bad

 

haha!

there are some guys here just cams and bolt-ons making good power on here...just do some searching!

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

6.0 + cam and boltons is best

 

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.

 

Yah rite like you would know

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.
