time for more power......How's this combo look?
#22
Ya except that you just agreed with me word for word. Way to go! 
Your response on top of mine is the same 370hp mark until he advances the timing and adds race fuel:
And again for the 3rd time 400 flywheel horsepower is still 60hp short of 400 rear wheel horsepower. I don't care who disagrees with me at this point. The final results of a dyno will say it all.

You see this first sentnce here
lenty of guys are bolt on/cam only and putting down 330-350 to the wheels all the time.I said to the wheels and my numbers did not go from the wheels to flywheel like magic all of a sudden.

I think you can get pretty close, here's a long tube, cam, tune setup that is proven for 100 over stock.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Test Vehicle: 2006 Silverado 5.3L regcab 2wd
Baseline HP: 224hp
Final HP: 322HP , 300TQ
Our test vehicle is a 2006 Silverado donated by Jacob of San Antonio, TX.
We all know how it starts, you bolt on a few simple modifications and before you know it, you have the performance bug, this Silvervado is no exception.
The first series of mods consisted of bolting on a set of Pacesetter headers, along with a 40 series Flowmaster.
The installation was soon complete with a StageII cam package from Nelson Performance. The custom grind features a healthy 220 duration and .588 lift.
So you want a 100 extra horsepower from your Silverado, here is a list of proven components.
Pacesetter headers and ypipe: $400
Custom cam kit: $690
Performance tune: $375
Flowmaster muffler: $50
Installation will vary.
Here are the results of our performance upgrades.

Don't know about RWHP dynos, and test conditions vary way too much. Might make 400 on one dyno, and only 340 on another. Mid to lower 12's might be withen reach if it all works together. Might take a little more cam with 11:1, and ported heads.

I think it can be done with the right combo, I'm sure I'll have to swap my shorties for LT's(anyone wanna buy some nice shorties?) ORY, I'll start with what I've got get it dynoed again the day I plan on doing the swap to get a good pre/post comparison. My choice in heads are these http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...id=84&catid=40 or the WCCH equivalent. Cam will be TR220/220-112 , I've also decided to go with a FAST 90/90 setup. It might even take e-fans, e-water pump, larger MAF/intake tube and some very spot on tuning. I've got a pretty good base to start with 285/330 isn't bad with basically exhaust and tuning.
I will be shooting some film and pics during the swap and especially during the dyno, even if it only puts down 320.Personally I think I can put down another 100 HP, I think that last 10-15 will be a squeeze. I'm hoping to get as much airflow in/out as possible and hopefully that 220 cam will help scavenge it in, also hope to be making power up to 6500 to give me an extra 700 rpm. here's my baseline pull a couple months ago.

I agree completely, I intend to use the data from the dyno as a tuning tool for the track, and find the best setup I can. If you use the same dyno with similar conditions gains are truly gains

Truck and current mods in sig.
Goal is a 400rwhp stock bottom end 5.3l DD. I dynoed 285rwhp/330rwtq pre tranny and tq and new exhaust. I plan on using WCCH 5.3 heads ported/Polished & milled to 11:1cr with 2.00" int./1.xxexh. valves and supporting valvetrain. I'm set on the TR220-112 high lift cam, and a ported FAST 78 to go with my BBK 80mm TB. I'll be doing some additional bolt ons as well...e-fans, ud pulley,cutouts and maybe even e-waterpump. To put it on the ground I'll be using Hoosier slicks w/longbars and dragshocks for track. What do you guys think? And what kind of 1/4mi et could be achievable if I can get a 1.5-1.7 60'?
Once I blow the bottom end or get bored I'll either end up punching it out to 5.7 with forged goodies and the above mods or build a 408 NA, but for now I want to see what I can squeeze out of the 5.3 NA with no laughy gas.

good info guys, keep em coming. I'm going to start with the 220 but am willing to try different cams/combos to reach optimum power and plan on doing quite a bit of testing to back it up.
