What kind of money are you wanting to spend and what do you plan on doing with the truck

Do the simple mods first. Intake, exhaust, and a tune. it will fill like a different truck after that. And go from there.

Well it has the basics I'm trying to get it on the same level as my dodge with heads cam gears and a tranny but I am not very familiar with the 5.3 I find stuff for the ls but not the 5.3s

well you said it was bone stock so...what have you done to is so far?
Give Richard over at WCCH a call for some P&P heads. A cam in the 22x range (Thunder Racing has a nice kit with a 224/224 cam) and a 2600 stall will set you up nicely. And you can still tow.

click on the west coast cylinder head banner to the right of this page. Their LS6 head will be a very nice upgrade and you can still use your stock intake. If you did the L92 set up then you would have to swap the the L92 intake manifold.
