No one's flaming you...it's just the facts. A stock 5.7 will not perform as well as a stock 5.3. I had a 95 ECSB with a 350. My 07 with the original 5.3 is light years ahead. I like the 350 motor...it's a classic. But Chevy moved in a different way...for the better. Reminiscing is fine but it will leave you in the dust. Now lots of people have done lots of things with their 350s to make lots of power. Maybe one of them will chime in.
Us Chevy folks can get along...![]()
