I'm not gonna dump 5-6 grand into this truck. I'm thinkin max 2 grand or so. that should cover full boilt ons and a cam.
Theres nothing not reliable about bolt ons and a cam.

 

Ok, you asked for suggestions and I was just sharing my thoughts. You were the one that mentioned a blower in your initial post.

 

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like a dick. Wasn't sure how much blower kits were till today. I was thinkin 3-4 grand max for an all out kit.
i would love a blower but just not in the budget.

 

Ahh ok...makes sense then

 

A fast *** escalade would be pretty ****** sweet. Full bolt on, tune and cam would prob. get you there. Btw, looks good.

 

you might surprise a few 2.3l fox bodies.......

 

the new escalades come with 6l60e trannies from the factory go for the cam the lpe gt2-3 sounds and idles like stock but should give you about 30 hp up top

 

Dude please don't go overboard on the ESV, That's a hella nice rig. Go but an old Camaro or Mustang or something to beat on. That's an awful lot of big, hairy, American luxury truck to get moving.

 

 

CAI and a good tune would be a great start, It is a Caddy afterall and the lt's will make it loud! Like most said if you want to mod it look at what your getting yourself into as far as cost and such versus taking that same money and buying a vehicle you can mod without hurting your nice ride. Something lighter.
