Bolts on would include but are not limited to....Pace Setter Long Tubes......stock bottom end....Patriot Gold springs or PAC 1218's......push rods if needed....new lifters...no head porting....maybe larger injectors not sure yet. X-pipe and flow master super series 44's.

IMO stay away from the regrinds. Buy the cam you want and be done with it. I agree on the push rods .

phantom runs larger then that in his 5.3 and does pretty well

that can isnt to large, ive ran a larger cam in a 4.8. to run a cam of that size you need a real converter, real gears and real exhaust

yep some 4.xx gears and a 3600+ stall i would think. my 224 cam is running good with a 3200 stall but with 3.23 gears it still sucks. fyi
