hi ive got a 2002 Chevy Silverado 5.3L after doing some reading on here im going to go with the trick performance parts front mount intro. What i have read im problely going to need some new stronger pistons right. anything else ive left out maybe some tranny work whats yalls suggestions thanks for yalls time

 

keep the PSI low and you'll only need tranny work and a rear(eventually)

Up the psi, and you'll have to start with the internal mods.

 

I'm running 10psi on just a cam, springs and hardened push rods. No other engine mods.

 

You are going to need to do something for with the tranny, a simple servo and shift kit will help. But in the end a new tranny will be needed, because everyone turns the boost up.

You will also need our front mount intercooler, at least 42lb injectors,a fuel pump, a new tune, and a quick trip to the muffler shop. (muffler shop not needed if you have fab skills for final exhaust connections).

A good engine with a good tune your will be fine, just walk up on the power.
Several customer run 8+psi on daily drivers.

How soon are you looking at pulling the trigger.?

Hit me up if you need anything.

 

 

If you are going the the trouble of going into the motor, why not upgrade the rods, rod bolts, go to main studs, and rings for boost to go around those pistons. Oh, and balanced rotating assembly.

 

so, can stock valve springs hold 7psi at say 5500 or 6000 rpm? i know there is a thread somewhere but i can't find it.

 

I think so. I was running 10 psi with stock springs.

 

And why not get a 6l block and get more cubes

 

yea i was looking in to the LS2 6.0L i was think about going to the junk yard and finding a totaled express van and pull the engine and the 4l80e Tranny from it and rebuild both then wait awhile and get the turbo. wut yall think. thanks for yalls suggestions thanks trickperformanceproducts guy ill give u a call when im ready for that turbo bud
