    00 5.3 Tahoe

    Thought I would post up some dyno numbers for my stock 2000 5.3 Tahoe. The graph has the stock pull and after I installed a UPD CAI.



    Numbers seem high or low? I know it pulls hard compared to my friends truck.

    I'm currently getting 20mpg on the highway and 16-17 when towing my camaro.

    What other mods would you think it needs.

    I'm thinking about a trailblazer torque converter, headers and maybe a cam.

    Any recommendations on headers or cams that ya'll have used for a tow vehicle?

    I'm interested in a cam recomendation as well. We need a little more grunt out of our '01 1500 4x4 5.3 'Burb to pull the 25' enclosed snowmobile trailer. It was a big power/torque downgrade comeing from a '96 Burb with the Vortech 454.
    New project truck:

    '00 ECSB 4wd, 5.3, 3" body lift, gap guards, 18x9 Moto Metal 951's, 305/60/18 Mickey Thompson MTZ's

    To-do list: Built rear end, 6.0 swap with built top end, 4L80e, and a couple bottles in the bed.

    I have obx longtubes and i cut out the y pipe and ran a dual in/dual out magnaflow muffler.. Sounds stock and pulls hard. My next mod will probably be a TB torque converter

    I though about using this one to give me more lower end torque
