I just got the truck, so I don't know too much about it. Its a 2000 silverado ext. cab 4x4, with the 5.3 vortec. I would like to know the stock cam specs, heads, and valve size. Right now the truck is completely stock except a magnaflox muffler. I do alot of off roading, so what do you guys recommend for bolt on's, possibly a cam swap, chips, any help would be nice! Thanks for your time.

 

Any help would be nice....im just looking for some performance upgrades that won't cut inot my wallet too much. I have about 1200 bucks to blow....?

 

If you do a lot of off road then you might look at gear change, locking differential and getting a good tune.

 

what are some cheaper upgrades for engine performance....? 1200 to spend. I have already put a fabtech 4inch lift on, with 33'' 12.50s. Gear changes are in the near future...im open to any ideas. Thanks

 

I would do the gear change first. you should have 4.10's at least, 4.56 even better. That will run around $1000

 

gears
tune
exhaust
headers
cold-air intake
cam swap - something like a tr220 and comp918 springs
WCCCH 5.3 cylinder heads

in this order

 

i dont know about a 220 with his lift and offroading desires....he'd be better off with a 212/218 highlift or something

 

i dont really know much about cams it just seems like a pretty common mild-moderate cam around here

 

comp's 206/212 on a 112 would be a good small cam to go with.

 

yea its common but a lift and 33's arent. plus he would need a stall with that and thats not optimal for offroad
