option 1 - buy 6.0 for $1500-2000, then slowly add option 2 as cash allows
or
option 2 - add stall, lt's, e-fans, and cam for about same price as option 1

shift kit will be added either way.

 

Option #1

 

i also opt for option #1. after extensivly modding my 5.3 and running 12's i am going to go to a 6.0 in the future. dont get me wrong it is running strong. but the 6.0 is irreplaceable in power and reliability. it will also be up to you and the long haul. if you are planning a runner then the 6.0 will last way into the future.

 

thanks guys, i'll probaly end up going with the 6.0

 

You wont regret it. Much more TQ to be had with the 6.0L with similar mods.

 

5.3 if you want the gas mileage
