For simplicity if the crate engine comes as a complete kit, with everything you need for the blower, and you have $12,000 then the 6.2 prepackaged may be the way to go, but if all youre trying to do is sc your truck, there are much less expensive avenues to go..i probably could've pieced the blower together for my yukon for less than what i had in the 6.2/6l80 swap, but i sure dont have $12,000 in it!

The 2300 kit includes 60 pph injectors at least on the kit I have but mine is for a GMT800 truck. If you want flex fuel you will need larger than that anyway obviously........ non issue for me as E85 does not exist here lol. By the time you buy the parts and then have any labor done you are more or less at that crate engine price...... and still just a 5.3 lol. You could do a take off GM blower for half of the Maggie kit which would be what is coming on that crate... that's another option if you wanted a 1900. I am sure if you phone GM dealers you can get better pricing than that stuff on Summit. Hell there is a dealer in Quebec that prices there stuff around the same realm as what I pay in Alberta..... be worth your while with the way exchange is if there is no give on the crate engine pricing in the US. I am sure there is though..... but it requires picking up the phone lol.

Yeah just get the 6.2 haha. I am in process of putting all mine together and if it's not 600 whp it's a fail. It's a forged 370 I built with a custom isky cam, a set of older but still decent cnc ported Edelbrock heads I had and the TVS 2300. Should be good to pull trailer in my 3/4 ton lol.
