Default Looking For MORE POWER

I think ive done all i can do to get as much power as i can get with a stock 5.3

Or if i can Put in L92 or a TBSS motor

knowing you I would build a lq4 or lq9 into a 408 OR 6.7L then slap a bigger TVS 2300 on it and call it good to go!

lq4 has lower compression and is generally better for boosted applications. Since you have a supercharger this gets my vote
