its a 99 5.3 looking into doing some upgrades, would like to get some thoughts about how much power and if it will all work together. ok here is my little list of things.

z06 cam and yellow springs
harden push rods
pacesetter lt with full 3inch exhaust
tbss intake manifold
converter
last a tune

should i run a tbss throttle body? what kind of stall should i run with that cam and also this is going to be my daily truck.

z06 cam and yellow springs

i have the ls6 cam yellow springs and the pushrods... not worth the time or money IMO go with a larger cam and youll be alot happier

What are your goals and what do you consider daily driveable? The 5.3's respond very well to cam upgrades, from mild to wild. Search this section and the GM Engine and Exhaust Performance section for "212/218" and you'll find thread upon thread praising that Comp grind. The TR220 is another proven 5.3 performer that our own "bluecajun" took into the 12's in his rcsb with stock heads

goals to have a ok truck like a 13 sec area and for the daily part meaning as of right now i drive the truck everyday and would like to keep it that way and still get ok mpg's lol.

tr220 is the tried and true no doubt pair it with supporting mods and a 3k stall
