ok my truck is feelin kinda tired around 150k so i have some ideas and need some input. i was thinking of doin the following:

6.0 swap
TSP 225 cam
E-fans
Pacesetter LT headers and ORY into magnaflow dumped out
Cats welded into ORY for emissions

Any input or advice?

 

sound like a solid plan to me... Any hp or et goals??

 

not real sure... what do you think that combo would be pushin HP wise with a good tune?

 

looks like a solid 330+ rwhp setup to me

 

would it be better to just mod my 5.3? and by better i mean more HP for the money

 

all those mods and parts will work with both engines so you should consider modding your 5.3 with the mods you would do to a 6.0 and just run it hard. see how long it lasts

 

i think i might do that. then when it blows just change out the parts?

 

I am building a 6.0 now and will just swap it out. That way I can build it a little as I go and research the parts. If you are thinking about pulling your motor I would start to build a back up plan now.

 

I would mod your truck as is then save up for a motor and jump in. the build itself is a lot more extensive than you would think on the surface. Trans, DS, little things like connectors, then you need to make sure the motor runs, get any machine work out of the way, then do the internals/heads before you put it in. Basically make sure you can do everything up to tune before you drop it in.

Not trying to deter you but its some work, Im in a little over my melon myself so I need to relax about it for a little while

 

what would be a good cam for my set up? i was looking at a tsp 220
