As well as a better air intake, exhaust, cylinder heads, intake manifold, and factory premium fuel programming.

Thanks,, for the record no i didn't install a chip,, i purchased an aftermarket programmer. They have chips correct... I have found out after purchasing the Hypertech Programmer the gains i expected fell way short. Thus the reason to upgrade the camshaft. The 2002 C5 LS1 had 350 HP not a large increase but better than the 290hp my truck came with stock.

270 hp
1999 (LM7) 5.3 Vortec,, a whole whopping 270 freaking HP stock. no wonder i wanted to to give it some help. Thats the weakest of the 5.3 motors that they manufactured. Definitely getting a cam, heads , Tune . Found a buyer for the hyper programmer. Ls6 cam, 80mm throttle, headers, ls6 intake and oh yes it's going to get a custom tune. a friend of mine has a drive on dyno... once i have completed this makeover i will post the numbers i acheive.
Thanks for your advice..
