I don't know.... I was just thinking about it and that estimate may be alittle too high for a bone stock truck.

Whatever tune you do decide to go with make sure you can get free re-tunes with it so when you do continue to mod it for certain things you can get it re-tuned for free.

that truck was a 2006 5.3 and it had a 220/220 .588/.588 114 LSA cam, colr air intake, lt's/ORY and a flowmaster dumped and with the tune made 322 hp at the wheels.

With an otherwise bone stock 5.3, id say the headers and ORY will be worth 10-12 RWHP and then anywhere from 20-25 can be had on the tune, depending on how aggressive you get with it.

I agree with the above.
