no they say the 5 speeds cant handle the torque of the 5.3 . but its funny how joe gibbs sells a 4.8 with a supercharger and people do it all the time . i just think the 5.3 shaft or whatever the difference is on the 4.8 to the 5.3's is what stops them

If I'm not mistaken after 01 all the cranks were short. Yeah, the 5 speeds & stock clutch obviously can't hold up to the massive tq of a stock 5.3.
