What could I do to gain around 50 to 100hp? I currently have a 2000 Silverado, with a 4.8 5 speed manual (currently swapping out for a T56). I have some bolt ons JBA Headers, Magnaflo exhaust with out cats, HPP 3 tuning and a MAX Air intake. Eventually I want to do a supercharger, cam, and some electric fans. I would like to gain 50 to 100 hp out of my engine before I do the supercharger though. Any ideas??????!!!!

 

Nitrous would do it. If your against that then i would go with a cam and springs swap. One more thing, do you have some type of Posi or locker and what gear ratio are you running. I know that the ones who have swapped in the T-56 went with a much lower gear ratio like 4:10 or 4:56.

 

Currently I have 3.73 and I am looking at going with 4.56 eventually. I was just looking for other engine mods to go with being I have a 4.8 already. I was looking at Nitrous in the end but I was more looking for the spring and cam first then maybe if there are better headers than what I have or along those lines.

 

Well if you want to find 50 - 100 hp with out doing a supercharger or a cam..........I dont know what the hell you coud do.

 

I am looking at doing the cam and electric fans first I think.... I am just looking at what internal mods I can do to the truck.

 

Um. Im not sure what the question is but I would say heads/cam would get your your 50-100 HP. Or you could go with nitrous and jet it down when you get a supercharger.

I think those are the ONLY mods you can do to get the power you are after.

 

I think if you could put a cam in like 212/218 which is a popular one around here, or maybe the TR 220 since you have a manual, and with that and electric fans and some tuning I think you could see 40 or more to the ground which is more than 50 at the crank.
