    Probably just thinking 8-10psi of boost for the Tahoe.
    Dont need to get too crazy, got the stangs for that, just want to wake it
    up. Thinking like 400-425rwhp on the Tahoe will be more than enough.

    Could go LQ4, but read the LQ9's had little bit stronger internals.
    10-1 compression and 8psi with intercooler should be ok on the LQ9 i think.

    Wondering if I should maybe just do a mild cam and intake swap on
    the 5.3 and boost it to 400rwhp - thoughts ?

    Always had special place in my heart for the 5.0's since growing up with
    em in the late 80's. Love the LSx series engines, but GenIII camaros are just butt ugly to me
    and a Corvette aint in the books right now, lol


    The Tahoe ......nothing special ........ for now



    1989 Mustang LX convertible - just my 600+rwhp weekend fun car.
    357ci - DIY twin T3/T4 60mm turbo - custom DIS ignition with LS1 coilpack








    1993 LX coupe - 4cyl conversion.
    Traded a Trickflow intake for total rust bucket of a non-running 4cyl coupe.
    I have 11-1, 6,500+rpm 347 sitting in garage ready to go.
    Just need to get this one put back together now. Thinking autocross racer
    with this one.
