The trick turbo kit works for 4wds too. A guy put down a hair over 500rwhp in a 4wd 5.3 with just an LS6 cam and I belive 8 or 9#s of boost. I would throw the 6.0 in there with a cam and run that for a while and save for the turbo kit. Ranwalk on PT put down 545rwhp(or something close to that) with a whippled 6.0 and cam but he is 2wd.

"My wife's TBSS can out run me and that makes me sad." Did I miss it, did you post pics of the SS?

I'll try and get some more up tonight.

Well here is the TBSS that is faster than my truck.

Head question? er well a question. Should I just get heads and a cam to slam on my 5.3 along with the much needed headers. If so what heads could I use on another higher cube engine or should I just forget the head cam idea and go for a lq9.

[nonecktribe]

well that is a good question(s)....i would invest in a 6.0...with your current setup...then save the rest for the new tvs1900...i bet running 9 lbs with it would roast the TBSS....just my two cents

[1slow01z71]

I would go for the 6.0 and cam route, the 6.0 is going to be a more streetable setup given everything else is constant. Also heads for a 5.3 really cant be used on other things because they start out with such a small combustion chamber to begin with(61.1cc) so if you went to some 243 heads(64cc) you would be in the low 9.0 CR range which would be nice but I would be afraid of out of boost driveability with a cam, less CR and larger intake runners which all contribute to less power down low at cruise rpm. That all is of course if you use your truck as a truck if its just a toy then it would be ok.

Ok so what year 6.0 and LQ4 or LQ9 with a whipple or some other future FI.
Isn't there an earlier 6.0 that the crank is different for the 4l80?

Also what cam to put in. I know nothing about cams or lobe separation. All I really want to know about a cam is which one will work great with my 2400 to 2600 PI stall and still be streetable. I would do a cam kit. Springs pushrods etc. I remember reading something about a lingenfelter gt-2 or 3
Any thoughts.

2001 or newer LQ4, all LQ9s will work. I would go with an LQ4 and try and find one that is an 05 or newer those come with the ls2 timing set which is a bit more stout and the rods from LQ9s which are beefier too. 05+ is what I would do with something around a 214/220 on a 114, good exhaust bias for the blower and wide lsa, but will haul ass with the low stall you want. Ask Daniel how he likes my cam choice for his truck
