ULoL! He would be the first...I dont know bout you but,soon as i went fi. my gas pedal turned into a toggle switch.

 

is turbo better the maga ,pro or super charger as in life of engine?...the 5.3 run good stock..i just dont wana spend all this money n then have to buy an new engine down the road,i wana built something fun to play with....i was at the part store looking in the perfromance book.it said that the maga charger it an great charge for an stock build,and relieble to,is that correct?

 

Granted, it does take extreme self control, but it can be done

The more power your engine makes, generally the shorter its life is going to be. Its just more stress on the components. Magnacharger would be a very simple, reliable bump in power. There are people who have been running them for over 100k miles. A turbo is easier to increase power with if/when you want it.

 

i barely get that with a tuned 5.3, CAI, 3" catback, & 3.73s
typically 16/18~ish



don't believe everything you read on the interwebz

 

i found one that will produce 460 hp,out of an stock 5.3...on 9lb of boost...i think a tune n k&n,lt and stright pipe ,maf, i sholdd be almost at 500,right? if so thats what im going to do...n beef up the tranny n r/e

 

I did all my stuff in my sig for less than $13000 and I must say, it hauls ***. Don't underestimate the 5.3 with boost. If I could do one more thing I'd get a set of ported heads on there.

So far, I've been abusing the hell out of my 60e and G80 for over a month on the street and all is well. Hey, did I just jinx myself?

 

yeah so for i added up to 8500...i think i found what i want to do,but the heads might have to wait alil while....but i might beef up the one i have tho

 

I know that for a fact because I did it once. And haven't cared to try again since. lol

How is nav school going btw?

 

Didn't know that about the 06'. I have an 01' so I was thinking along the lines of the 34" HD radiator, e-fans, Tru-cool and the plumbing and wiring for it all.

 

they do make pistons and rods for the 5.3. hell they even make a 5.3 stroker kit. 4" crank and 3.8** bore. makes like a 370 iirc. you would have good low end torque and should retain some mileage vise a gas sucking 408. with stock heads it yeilds like 10.4:1 compression. that with a tc78 turbo and your in the money for a 600rwhp 10psi motor. the stroker kit is only $2000 balanced, with all you need to do it minus gaskets. if your motor is in good shape it would just need a hone job for like $100.
