Can I put an LS1 intake on my 5.3 vortech? And what else can i do to make my 5.3 go really fast for a reasonable price? I'm thinking about a cam and the ls1 intake with a bigger throttle body and a nelson computer. let me know some other good power adders. I will be putting on a turbo but that will not be untill the end of summer.
its been done but its not worth the hastle. it will physically bolt up but the water pump gets in the way, and the ls1 intake isnt much better if better at all.
i say start out with all the small stuff and work your way up. good intake, full exhaust, and a tune will get a good smile going. once your used to that go for a torque converter, cam, gears, nitrous, 408, twin turbo lololol get silly with itit serously is an addiction hah.
or you could just skip all the small stuff and buy the nitrous i have for sale in the classifieds
old mod list: H/C/I/N/E/G 408
new mod list: 5.3, gears/posi, mufler and tune : (
Blue Cajun has an awsome write-up on how to do the install over on PT Net .
Go with the turbo now and forget the other mods!
