5.3 Power ?

[bootlife]

OK I have a 2000 Z-71, I put a 5.3 from an 05 avalanche, Heres what iv done so far, 4.10 gears, K&N cold air kit, Flowmaster 40 series single pipe, trinity programmer, with the rear O2 delete done. corvette servo, throttle body spacer,. Im looking on adding long tube headers, and a BBK Throttle body real soon. What kind of gains can I see from these? Also keep in mind I drive from louisiana to west tx every week for work, What else should I do to beef power up? AFacebookHomescreenImage_3.jpgnd what gains would I get? Thanks

I would loose the trinity programmer and get a custom tune from Nelson performance or the likes. Swap the flowmaster for a magnaflow. Loose the throttle body spacer. Get some long tubes from calspeed. Get a p&p throttle body instead of the bbk. Underdrive pulley. Drive it and love it. If you want more you will need to do more serious mods...... Cam stall etc.

I also have the Trinity on my truck and I love it, my favorite thing about it is the live monitoring function. My last truck was a 5.3, and I had experimented with the BBK throttle body. All I can tell you is you need to get a tune with it, mine ran so rich untuned that It dripped black soot from the tail pipes. Good luck with your mods!!

save your money on the bbk and get a cam or stall or both if you have funds.

1) I would loose the trinity programmer and get a custom tune from Nelson performance or the likes.
2) Swap the flowmaster for a magnaflow.
3) Loose the throttle body spacer.
4) Get some long tubes from calspeed.
5) Get a p&p throttle body instead of the bbk.
6) Underdrive pulley.
7) Drive it and love it.
8) If you want more you will need to do more serious mods...... Cam stall etc.

This is a shipwreck.

the bbk will be a waste of money with a stock truck, the throttle body spacer is just adding weight to your truck, get some longtubes and a better flowing exhaust ie magnaflow, and get a custom tune. youre prolly about 20 horses over stock right now, with a bbk and longtubes youll prolly gain about 25 horses, with just longtubes youll gain about 25 horses.
