I have a 4wd ecsb 5.3 with prc stage 2.5 heads, a tr 224/224, tbss intake , e fans, longtubes ory 3 inch magnflow. I have a trailblazer veter and built 4l60. And a tune.
This is my daily driver so street manners play a part it is also my work truck, im a carpenter so I do haul some. I have a tool box and ladder rack also. Trust me its funny

Im looking to maximise my power for my use. I have a torqer v2 that I would love to put it or maybe a 228/228? I am also spraying a 125 shot about to goto a 150.

Im looking for suggestions on proven builds. Oh money is a bit of an object because this was all put together on parts I had from other builds so its kind of a challenge. A trubo would be geeatw if i can find an ebay used cheap but for now looking for ideas.

Thanks for looking.

I think a split duration cam with an exhaust bias would be a good idea especially adding spray. Any bigger cam than that 224 I would imagine a bigger stall would be needed to make it more efficient.

What were you thinking as a cam and what would I see in gains? I like the idea of a bigger cam but a bigger converter makes it less usable for me as a dd

Am I maxed out for this motor for my use (basically) without going forced induction?

I know I can always do little things.

Ditch the TB converter for a better one like the CircleD 278mm

I know but again it is a "whats laying around build".

I have a lq4 for more power I just wnat to ser what I can do with the 5.3


Although I do nned to change it.

Does anyone know how a bigger tc would do for my purpose? I can just put the v2 into then.

If you want more power w/o sacrificing driveability you need more cubes. Wait on a cheap 408 kit for your LQ4, splurge $400 on a spec'ed cam designed for good torque with a tight converter and a little spray, new tune and whamo. I know it doesn't fit the parts laying around caveat but just my .02

So you have a 6.0. But you want more performance and good street manners with a torquerv2 and higher stall converter in the 5.3. Wtf...

Put everything on the 6.0 that is on the 5.3. Put the 6.0 in the truck. Get rid of the p.o.s. Tb converter. Think about a 80e or step up the 60e.

I don't know how you could dd a v2 in any 5.3 in a ecab. I wouldn't be able to stand that ****.

if you have a 6L laying around why would you not throw it in?
that would be your best bet along with a good converter
