good mods for a mostly stock 5.3 2000silverado
#1
well my friend wants more from the truck after sadly losing to a idk hemi of some sort?
bumblebee I think ? it was big yellow and ugly..
lost by about 2 cars from 0-80
he has a K&N FIPK and a true dual exhaust system..
he wants more though.. he bought a hypertech tuner off of ebay for 200 bucks.. would that give him much improvement? I'm clueless with these cars?
I told him might want to try and step up with a bigger stall? but I don't have the first idea where to look for one and and how much they cost..
also told him headers and maybe a cam swap?
where could I get info on all this and do you think he could make 300rwhp with all of those mods mentioned?
K&N FIPK
true duals
some kind of longtube headers
Hypertech programmer
cam and rocker swap
upgraded stall..

Well a stall would be a good start, from what everyone has told me and experienced it will knock about .4 of a 1/4 mile. But they are pretty expensive. I am wanting to get one to, but I think for the price and what they give you in return is great, especially if you are going to put a cam in it. YankTT 3000 is pretty good also a Vigilance by performance industries are bad *** as verters. I would go with one of them. The hyertech will help but a custom tune is better.

I'd say besides the stall, a custom tuned PCM would be the easiest to do and one of the best bang for your buck mod. It made a night and day difference on mine.

But I would do a custom tune.

get the trailblazer torque converter. It is cheap and will raise the stall speed to about 2300 RPM. That and a PCM tune from allen or texas speed and performance will beat that dodge's ***. the total cost will be < $500

Get the TCI stall for 450 and a custom tune for 400 and that would be enough. I just installed longtubes on my truck but its the Dynatech system and it was almost 1300 dollars for them, but the Thorley Tri Y headers are a good deal. To reach 300 rwhp your friend is gonna need a cam, long tubes and custom tune. Look at the sig 255 rwhp with the ASP pulley, Borla exhaust, KN FPIK, and Superchips tune.
