    Noticable difference between 5.3 and 6.0?

    Is there a noticable difference between the power of a 5.3 and 6.0? Night and day difference or just a small differnce?

    i think its the tq that the 6.0 is able to make that is what seals the deal

    Yeah 325 ft lbs compared to 370 is a decent difference

    it would probably be equivalent to a 5.3 with a tune vs a 5.3 without.

    If you need a motor, might as well...but if your 5.3 is running strong, i don't see a need. The time/money could go elsewhere.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum
