If you were to get the kit for a 02 rcsb 5.3 silverado what other items would you pick up when buying the kit, i dont need un real power.

 

That is a VERY hard question to answer with no other info... Who will be tunning? DO you have any gauges? Are you going to tow anything? What boost level are you thinking of running? Any other options? like injectors or fuel pump? How much are you looking to spend?


With JUST a base STS kit and NOTHING else....
1. Tunning (HP tuners or EFI)
2. Wideband
3. Fuel pump and bigger injectors
4. Gauges (fuel pressure, wideband, boost, and what ever else you'd like to keep an eye on)
5. Charge air cooler and/or Methenol kit (I like ALKY control)
6. Boost controler
7. Upgraded turbo?
8. A Good account at a tire shop

You got that right lol. Your going to need deep pockets too. Boost is addictive. You can start off with the base kit but like the rest of us you will end up ugrading.

 

You may want to address the transmission also.

 

While your at it, saw off your right arm and see what you can get for it on the black market, or you could see what youll get for it before you saw it off. Either way you will need lots of green to deal with booooooost.

 

well i figured i would the injectors and fuel pump, boost controller, and gauges. ididnt plan on a turbo up grade, what would the basic put down as fars as rwtq goes. i didnt know if this route would be cheaper than a radix, or others. And the vehicle still needs to haul when all said and done.

 

Your plan is good for the base kit. I would definetly get a shift kit and servo for the trans and get a reputable tuner involved.

 

with some lts and ory pipe, with the basic set up what kinda of nimbers are you guys seeing at the track and on the dyno. also looking to get a tr 224 cam.

 

You don't want lts, (they disapate heat too fast and will slow spool time) keep the stock manifolds and get a off road Y (I got one from Jegs) and wrap the entire exhaust with header wrap from the manifolds to the trubo.

 

i did not now that, i geuss you learn something new every day.
