    If you have unlimited funds, then yes, go 6.0

    If you only have...say 2k...i'd spend it on other stuff.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    I have a tune and headers and such already. Will my 5.3 headers be sufficent? are they the same? and I plan on going with a Texas Speed Torquer 2 232/234 .595/.598 Camshaft before I swap engines

    nice choice of cam, yes your headers will work on a 6.0, you'll be surprised how fast it would be with headers,tune,stall,gears and well your normal bolt ons, i used the same dynatech headers on my 5.3 as i do on the motor i run now, well until i went with the kooks 1 7/8 into 2 inch

    Will I need injectors like you have? The cam listed above is close to yours right?

    If you run your existing injectors, you will either be at 99%-105% Duty cycle on them. They will help, but not noticeably. If you throw nitrous on there, then you will definitely need bigger injectors.
