Honestly Atomic, I dont have any hp goals but if you made me put a number on it 500 "streetable" hp would be nice. This is my daily driver. I figure a fairly tame 408 with a 2300 should put me there. By streetable I mean no big cam or stall...I've ended up there on my last 3 vehicles and i guess im getting to old for that now, Im so over rough idle, loud exhaust, big stall and trans that snaps ur neck in traffic. Idk maybe what I want is out of the question

i've seen where MTI's made some big numbers with TVS1900s on LS3 & LS7, so i don't think it'd be all that bad if you had to stick with the smaller one.

I would consider a jackshaft model so you can underdrive it if need be on the 5.3 and overdrive it on the stroker
a crew cab that's light enough

If you have plans to grow, get the 2300 in my opinion. I wish I had a bigger blower, and a bigger engine, and a 4L80E.......

Your current 5.3 with a TVS1900 on top would get you there easily (500hp).

Just saying...
