yes i understand price goes up exponentially for that next horse but i wanna keep thing slight right now nothing major... if i put in a cam and rods and springs and timing chain thing will run correctly and add more power..correct me if im wrong the other stuff like helping out the tranny, rear end and efans are not going to be EXTREMLY needed for these initial upgrades they are just the next step after
oh man.. i dont even want to get started..

you should be alright with the stock tranny and rear. it'll take more then a cammed 5.3 to kill the rear. for the tranny I would get a towing shift kit and a larger tranny cooler, most 4l60e are killed from heat. but when you have the money I would upgrade.

The other mods are just next steps kinda like the tranny/rear.
Take her a mod at a time but remember once you add some power you will soon want more and the mod bug will bite ya hard.

Eventually both the g-80 and tranny will fail. That doesn't mean you have to fork out a ton of money before this happens though.
