I�ve got about 2500 to put into my truck. It�s a 2000 rcsb lr4 4.8 I�ve been looking into the btr stage 3 truck cam and a Tbss intake manifold with some long tubes. The truck is completely stick right now minus a CAI. My goal is to make somewhere north of 350whp. Thanks!

 

That is going to make the truck drive like a dog.

You should be looking at buying a 6.0 and camming it for that money, that's about what it cost for me to do mine.

 

Im not sure Ive seen a 4.8 break 350whp NA

 

So basically just leave the 4.8 alone and look into a 6.0 for any real gains?

 

Correct. You need the torque the extra cubic inches will give you

 

ORRRRR boost the bitch but that is a bit out of budget

 

I was thinking about that, but I�m not to educated on some of the things needed, maf to speed density, fueling, tuning etc.. honestly I was gonna buy an on3 kit and cob the thing together and run it until it blows up then I�d have a good excuse to put a motor in it LOL

 

meh just ask around and you can get what you need. tuning is just dropping some cash for someone to do it for you

 

Thanks man I think maybe I�ll go that route!

 

For a $2,500 budget I say a 6.0 with gen 4 rods and maybe a super budget cam, only of the low lift summit truck cams and a tune. Or just a tune because a good tune is the most important thing.
