I think the RCSB 5.3 would have more potential in stock form ... I think it would be faster bone stock too.

I would go with a regular cab. Bone stock the 5.3 should be faster. IMO The SS is just too much weight to move, especially if you don't need the space. A 5.3 can run a high 12 n/a which is pretty darn good, might I add.

Gee.... I wonder which one I would choose??
I think I could take a stock SS, Even off the line cause I get no wheel spin or chirp noise anymore cause I'm into the better rubber on my tires. It launches good

Stock SS vs Stock 04 RCSB 5.3....

I was running a SS with CAI and Exhaust. I was bone stock. It was back and forth. Basically it was who had the best RT would have a nose on the other.

Now with the corsa added, I think it was no contest. I pulled about a truck length on the first run. He edged me by a nose on th 2nd(finally broke loose, it was a sweet burn out, lost but it was cool). I cant wait till I get a tune and trans go.

Save the money from the SS and put it in an 05 RCSB and dominate the streets.
