Default 2000$ to spend.... What can make the most power!!!

I already have:

Comp Cam 212-218-522-529-114
Ls6 spings
Hardend Push Rods
3000 TCI Stall Converter
PCM tune
Headers
CAI
other minor bolt ons...

What would be the best thing to do...

Ok heres my options...


Whipple charger from yellow sierra!!

Or....

I can try and sell my 5.3 and make a step up to a bigger motor....

What would be the best thing to do right now..

If I sell my engine I would want to keep the price right around 3000-3500 for a new/used one.... Is that possible or would it be better to just get the whipple and go at it from there

You can make close to 500 hp at the crank with that setup.

I still like the idea of the whipple or any FI, it will go good w/your mods now. Plus, once you get that 3200 stall, a little meth and that supercharger in you should really be moving.

Gains are going to be minimal with the engine swap if you only have 3 grand to spend. You would be lucky to get a 60-70hp with the swap and a bigger cam in it. Atleast with the whipple you can run more boost and the rest like Beeftip said.
