01 Tahoe make it 400+rwhp?
Hello,
Ive got an 01 tahoe that is bone stock. I want it to make 400+ on heads and cam. Is it possible? I have a built 4l60 laying in the garage so i dnt need a tranny. Ive got a budget of $5,000. Ive looked on the forum to find out most people either run just a cam or some mild ported heads and cam, and make about 280hp-330hp. Let me know.
thanks,
justin

It seems like you have a pretty good understanding of what it takes.
For your budget, I'd swap in a 6.0L ($1500), add some TSP ported 5.3s ($1200) and something like a 224 or 228 cam. That should put you well over 400rwhp with money leftover for a nice torque converter. Or you could just put a magnacharger on your 5.3 and get the 400rwhp.
