How to break 500 rwhp, with everyday reliabiltiy on a 5.3?
#11
I know its doable, the problem for me is simply because I cant afford it.
It just simply cost too much to build a ls1 in our trucks N/A or turbo/supercharge, then building the tranny to handle the power for me. I was just curious maybe if there is an easy/cheaper way to get 450-500 hp out of my truck. I think next time ill just get a duramax and take it to nelson for a tune. My fathers got a damn 2500 crew cab 4x4 duramax with a bullydog programer and it completely smoked my truck! Thats one reason why I want some more power out of my truck, my dad beat me in a race,(thats embarrasing).

Probably not, but it was nearly half the size (3.0L) inline 6. It was a fun car though, still rather have a new vette anyday! Those things are NICE!
