    Looking for opinions

    My 5.3L just hit 186,000 miles and is starting to make some valvetrain noise on start up. Going to do heads / cam / and new converter. I my thoughts are the PRC STG 2.5 5.3 heads milled, the TSP 220 or 224R cam and the PI converter 2800-3000 stall tuned by Nelsons. Truck is not a DD (have a 07 ZX10R for that) and will be getting 4.10's and a tru-trac.

    Any suggestions or changes?

    Thanks in advance.
    2000 GMC Sierra RCSB with a 5.3 and 4L60E. Let the games begin. Started with Camaro E-fans, Nelson Harness, 160* thermo, PaceSetter LT's, Random Tech Cats Hooker Aerochamers and true dual 3" Dumped at the bumper, 2/4 drop, NP performance tune, Built 4L60 and Alpine audio, TR220 cam, LS6 Ported Oil Pump, LS2 Timing Chain, LS2 Lifter trays, Vigilante 3k stall conv., Built 4L60E, 4.11 gears, Detroit Tru-Trac and all of that adds up to no traction and garbage 60' times. What next......?

    I agree. That should give you just a little more power.
