If you're going to pull the 5.3, sell it. Use that money, the 799 money, and the cam money to buy a good 6.0 pullout.

Cubes > cam IMO

I'm not swapping engines. That will defeat the purpose of what I'm doing.

I want good driveablity all around, something that can potentially be ran N/A and turbo. I dont really care if it sounds lumpy or not. If it does, then cool, if it doesn't, then oh well.

O, I thought this was what you were after. My mistake. Good luck dude
