    Question Looking for advice on increasing performance

    Looking for some advice, I have a 2003 Silverado w/ a 4.8 and am looking to increase performance and power. I have done the small things, K&N Intake, true dual exhaust, flowmaster mufflers, cut out catalytic converters and performance tune. Debating on whether or not to add to what I have by replacing heads, headers and cam or just replace the motor?

    For the money you are going to have to drop into it to really get any true performance (ie: forced air), I'd highly recommend dropping in a stroked/poked LQ4/9 block with some good flowing heads. The larger motor will get you there quicker and probably cheaper in the long run. JMHO though.
