Default Is there any potential here?

This is my first post over at the truck forum! I have a heads/cam corvette in the works right now. I decided im going to keep my truck. the motor seems real strong, but i may need a tranny rebuild in the near future. The truck is 99 chevy silverado ECSB 4x4 160k 5.3. truck probably runs mid 15's in the quarter now?? What does it take to get it to Low 14's? How much does it cost to get the dual exhaust setup? If i did intake/cam/stall/full exhaust/tune where would that put me power wise? Would it be enough to get low 14's 1/4? 330 RWHP or what? Or should i not even bother trying with thiis heavy pig. This is my daily driver truck that i drive for work, haul the family and pull a light boat! thanks!

You have alot of miles so make sure you dont put too much on it without building up the drive train first since its your DD
