a stroker kit for it maybe,
a vortec or whipple charger,
NA would be hard unless you build it , it may cost just as much as a swap

what year is your 4.3 and what modifications do you have on it right now? What is your current 1/4 mile time?

my buddy has the same truck and runs a 15.5 i believe or maybe its a 16.5 even some 15s will be fine. i just hate being so damn slow and i really need to finish up some of the cosmetics on my truck before unloading under the hood.

ok, so you're almost there, try swapping in a cam, getting the heads worked, and i bet you'll be very close.

a 50shot would def. help and not be too much.

what do you think?

if i go buy me a 60 series flow master and a cam, how will it sound?? still like a hyped up v6?? the intake makes it sound real deep at low rpms. but how much is a cam wut size and where should i buy it

[farmtruc]

Keep you exhuast very quiet or not too far from stock or it will sound raspy and hollow, it's very hard to get the deep tone from a v6.
i think a 60-70series would work fine, i had a quiet dynomax on mine and it sounded just throaty enuff, but at least it wasn't annoying.

Comp cams has a cam for you truck, go to their site and check it out, it's the 112lsa cam.

keep us updated,

As far as the specs on that cam will it be lopey idle?

well if your on 22's you can get rid of that extra weight... that'll give you some more performance... go with 18's....
