    Ha I agree but not this time around.

    My goal is a ls 5.3, ls1 intake, big nasty cam, headers, tune and lots of paint and detail to the install and engine bay.

    make sure you measure the stroke, they will try to sell you a 4.8 instead of a 5.3 or 6.0. also check the engines urself for mileage! once the sell you something, no refund what so ever1

    Nice ride. Try to stay in the 04-05 range if possible. All good parts and still 24x reluctor. Then just go Nelson harness. Much easier. Good luck.

    The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......

    I was here for over a year before I showed any kind of work on my truck...and here's the new guy tearing his truck apart and hasn't even been on half a month

    Welcome aboard man, looking forward to seeing the engine bay considering how much attention to detail this truck has been given already!
