    If I were to go back I might have done this to my stock 5.3. First thing get the trans all built up. Then 4:10's and a Trutrac. Then cam ls6 intake and maybe lq4 heads. And don't forget the nasty stall with that trans. Still not the cheapest rout but cheaper than a built bottom and safer than nitrous. Rev it to like 6500 maybe 7k and it would be fun to drive.

    That would be retarded. Why would you get heads that lower compression and don't flow any more?

    Don't even bother with a 75 shot. Go to a 100 or 125.

    Shift kit, servos, and a trans cooler. Or just get a fully built unit from somewhere.

    You're right I wasn't thinkin. I should have said L92 heads. But I haven't looked at the CC volume for those heads yet.

    Looks like that would raise compression too. Maybe just some porting would be best.

    You can't use L92 heads on a 5.3 either. Has to have a 4.00" bore at least for the L92s.
