If you do the 5.3 to 6.0 swap you won't need to change your computer=PCM you will just need to get a tune for it. Use the search function in the forum and you will find the answer to your question.

amount of HP varies on a few factors that weren't mentioned.
N/A or F/I?
Compression Ratio?
Bolt ons?

michaelpayne1985,

Don't cross post threads. Only post in the correct sections (e.g. Forced Induction is not where you ask how to build a 408).
