    What's next?

    I have a 5.3l Silverado 1500 with a Texas Speed 220r cam, 112 lsa, Dual Springs, and 7.4 Pushrods. Other mods include Pacesetter shorty header's and tuned.

    My question is what other mods should i do that will add more performance and reliability?

    You could remove the pacesetter shorties and sell them as scrap.

    I suggest adding longtubes of some sort after subtracting the shorties. That would actually be beneficial and keep the list equal.

    I believe for now i will keep the list equal and try and get suggestions for parts i don't already have. Any suggestions on a good Tc to get and how well the tranny will hold with one? Running a couple coolers might be wise?

    You don't have longtubes. Shorties do not equal longtubes. Shorties equal manifolds.

    You want some more parts okay okay.... I know a couple good options. You should jump on a throttle body spacer for sure. Oh and port and polish your throttle body, but don't worry about paying anyone its pretty easy just use your basic rotary tool. Oh and don't forget to match the throttle body spacer too.



















    Okay in all seriousness you should get a bigger cam, a stall to match, and longtubes. I would get an 80e IMO or you could get a performabuilt if you want to spend more money on the trans and less on the TC. It's all up to you good luck, but listen to what the boys on here tell you they know their shiz.
