thats going to be sweet too BT802, i think ill just set 600 as the goal and see what i can crank out.
cam and dod delete
headers and full exhaust
supercharger is what ive settled on
any other supporting mods i come across..
should be fun, lets see how long this trans last, may do a build on it and then if that was to break then do a swap.
afterwards i may make a dedicated "fast vehicle" to get good times and what not at the track. i never expect this big hunk of metal to go very fast quickly, but i can improve it a lot i think

So I am still going through and figuring out some things for my build and need some input from people that have been there done that.
vehicle in question is a 2009 silverado cc sb 2wd 5.3L.
Trying to set some HP goals, my biggest thing is deciding between a big single setup, twin set up or big *** supercharger.
what is too much to still daily? should i make a goal around 600hp or could i go crazy and do 800-1000? since its heavy at any of those power levels im sure the drivetrain will need some going through for sure, maybe more so if i go over 600hp, which i think is very achievable and reasonable.

I don't know. Maybe some internal parts are a different design but maybe not.
500hp is a great all around number for a heavy truck and maybe just my preference from everything I see.
