Hello folks...new to the ls powered truck scene. Gotta 2000 rcsb sporting a 5.3. Planning on making it a bit quicker as I can afford it. First on the list are lt's and a cai. One day I wouldn't mind pushin' some boost thru it compliments of a turbo !
Welcome! Go straight for a custom tune! Its the best bang for your buck and if you get it from Nelson Performance re-tunes are free. I would also suggest an ebay CAI and Calspeed LT's to save yourself money and make good power.
I've been considering a spectre CAI and a set of lpp lt's, the truck sounds like crap right now so I wanna address that first off
Welcome to the site!!!
I just bought a Spectre CAI from Summit Racing for $149.00, I have had several different brands they all do the same thing.....
Ebay intake is almost the exact same for half the money. As for LT's the Calspeeds are good quality for only $300. I would throw a good sized magnaflow in place of the stock muffler and be good for exhaust. Will sound great and perform ever better. If you are going with LT's you are going to need a tune to keep it from throwing codes.Quote:

Wait. Where aboots in Canada? I'm the Canadian ambassador to the site
Little place called Melbourne....about 45 mins west of London, ON. Where abouts are you ?
Welcome to the site! You're straight across Lake Erie from me. I would say start with your intake, vette servo, muffler headers/ tune.
Shelburne, bout half an hour west of Barrie. Half hour south of CollingwoodQuote:

This is the exact one I have in my truck http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TRG-7-2P/ The description is not quite right on the site. As long as you have the 4l60 it will fit. "Most performance feeling mod" I think I did.
You can fab one and cut the front of your air box witha drop in k&n.
That's how mine is. Replace the stock air tube with aluminum pipe and cut the front of the box. I like that it looks stock.Quote:

Not saying there's anything wrong with Allen's tunes, but there's guys just as good, that are much more local. So no mail order back and forth b/s
I like your thinking canada4g63 and afsp1211, thats a cool intake idea.
Frenchy, who are the tuners that would be local to our location ?
http://www.championmotors.ca/ Not THAT local to you, but they're great guys. Do damn good work. Expensive though, $500 for a full dyno and street tune, freebies after. They held the fastest IRS 'Vette record for a couple years. There was a problem with the DBW system in my truck after I did the V8 swap. I pulled my hair out for weeks chasing it, the truck even went to a GM dealer, they promptly told me to get it off the property. But yeah these guys fixed it and fine tuned it on the dyno in an afternoon.
