    What's next?

    I have a 5.3l Silverado 1500 with a Texas Speed 220r cam, 112 lsa, Dual Springs, and 7.4 Pushrods. Other mods include Pacesetter shorty header's and tuned.

    My question is what other mods should i do that will add more performance and reliability?

    You could remove the pacesetter shorties and sell them as scrap.

    I suggest adding longtubes of some sort after subtracting the shorties. That would actually be beneficial and keep the list equal.

    I believe for now i will keep the list equal and try and get suggestions for parts i don't already have. Any suggestions on a good Tc to get and how well the tranny will hold with one? Running a couple coolers might be wise?

    You don't have longtubes. Shorties do not equal longtubes. Shorties equal manifolds.

    Is that the only suggestion you can make? Obviously I'm not going to get longtubes after just getting shorties right now, so get the over it. Can you please answer my other question and stop being repetitive?
