Need help for upcoming project
Ok so after being of 3 different forums and hearing numerous opinions I want yalls help.
Within the next few months I want to go into my motor.
Im not looking for a 9 second truck.
This is my DD and I need to keep it that way.
Im goal is to get into the 13s in the quarter, but still have a truck that i can drive daily dependable.
Im looking into cams, but lost as to where to go for rod, springs, heads and what kind of cam.
I want it to pull good through out the range.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me ideas who have a similar set up to what im looking for.
I have a 05 GMC Crew Cab. 5.3 built 4l60e, CAI, tune, 3:73s truetrac on 28" tires.
hate to admit it but i have very little experience with this, this will be the first and last thing i will have installed by someone other than me. Just need to get an idea of what I will need, what works best with what, and get a general idea of the money ill be getting into

If this is your DD and only source of transportaion I would not do anything but a custom tune, ive learned the hard way that when you cause a problem with your DD....it sucks. Last year I had to drive my 3500 Silverado (6.0 Gas) back in forth to work which is a 77 mile round trip for two months while my Avalanche was down.

Exhaust is done already.
Custom tune isn't just cutting it for me.
I plan on buying another vehicle this summer sometimes.
When I say it's my dd its more of me implying that I don't want nothing crazy.
Somethings that's going to. Give me good street power. And I tow a boat maybe 2 times a year but it's not for about 3 miles.
Right now I'm in the high 15s I just want 13s or so.
Will look into the Magna charger. If it's something that you can do yourself I'll end up saving money prob.

for what you want ( 13s ) the money you would spend on heads,cam and other misc. parts id go with a lq9 6.0 that'll get you the number youre looking for.
