For now I don't plan on it right now. It should flow well enough to hold 600hp for now. Later when I go boost I'll do the intake side and get crazy with porting

 

So with everything I've got and some 5.3 rods and 4.8flat tops what kind of power do you guys think this setup will make? 4-450? Granted with a proper tune and fuel.

 

Yea I would say 420-450 at the crank n/a with premium fuel. Definitely hit 450 with a Lsxrt intake manifold, but they are expensive.

Here's a like for a 5.3L build. Made 480 with 228/230 .57x 112 with lsx intake and flat tops and 616 on a 125 shot

You might need to start working on a roll cage with your lite s10 and over 500whp

 

Lol yea some kind of cage will be going in after I get it swapped. I know the first sanctioned track I run I'll be asked to leave lol. Thanks for the link also. I was talking with my good friend/tuner about the plans and said we should easily hit 600 with the compression I'm looking to get to and spray.

Still undecided on a trans setup. Not sure if I want to keep it a manual truck or go auto with it.

Still don't know what intake I'm going to use just yet. It'll most likely be whatever I can find for a good deal that will work decent for me. Later on I'll go crazy with a different setup but for now I'm thinking something like a LS2 or LS3 intake with appropriate injectors etc.
