Thanks budhayes3... im really happy with my outcome... 5000lbs beast and shes running good... hope i do better after the tune and a tbss intake... my goal is to need a helmet at the track with this 5.3..lol

 

why?! the stock truck intake flows better in the low & mid range and almost as good up top. the TBSS intake's even better than that

 

becareful with that TBSS intake swap,i lost mph and ET with it on my setup.
I track test every mod i do.
Thats too much intake for a 5.3.Its to big which slowed down air velocity.
Yea everybody claims gains but i am telling u from my trial and error on my setup.

 

don't most of those swaps go on 6.0s, strokers, etc?

 

I had heard this but I hadn't heard it from anyone that had actually done it. Good to know for the future.

 

i also ran this by a very well known cam designer and he explained to me why it hurt my setup.
Basically its to big!

 

If you've got the scratch, I'd do the Fast LSXrt

 

thats a really nice piece but its expensive!

 

"If you got the scratch" is right... The intake and the TB runs something like 1400, but if you're out of other supporting Mods, and it's all that's left...

 

for that kinda money i would spend alil more for a stage 1 trick turbo kit $2200
