    All bs aside a stock 5.3 makes about 220hp to the wheels, if you manage to get 310-330hp from a cam swap call it a good day.

    Yes, a stock 5.3 will make 220. Add a tune, and bolt ons and you can get 250+. Add a cam and over 300hp is pretty reasonable to expect.

It will prob leave most trucks at the red light when you want to get in it, so I can live with that.
    37x rwhp i was running 13.0s so yea youll handle most trucks pretty good.

    5.3, LT's, full exhaust, tr220, 2800 stall, built trans, 4.10's got me 330rwhp and 13.6 1/4 mile.
    My new iron 5.7 with 11:1 cr with a TSP228 milled 241's and all other mods the same got me down to 13.1. So I'm guessing I'm right around 370-380.
    Your planned mods should make it a fun truck.
