Mods you would probably want.

6.0l with a small cam in like the 208/212 department

Free mods are not really worth anything

Most people in here preach nelson and radix, although I have yet to find anything bad about my wait4me tune which was alot cheaper(157.50 shipped to my door).

Im sure you will catch on quickly since you are already knowledgeable about your camaro.

technically the 5.3 is not an ls1 but a RPO code lm7... although it is a variation of it with all internal performance parts crossing over

nice truck anyhow...

6.0 When I venelated the 5.3 block. Little cam, just cause e-fans, and 3000 converter. Now I have a bigger converter, and exhaust, but I was still in the 13's before that.

i plan to torsion lift it or something and put 33's on. i cant go too high cuz the parking structure at work thats in the pics has a height of 6'4" or something and as it is the antenna hits the ceiling all the time. so yeah im kinda limited on height as i need to park there everyday.

Careful what tires you go with, some 33's fit with just torsion leveling, some dont even with a 2" lift, and cutting the inner fenders, and the front bumper.

And for the summer mine sits a little lower, but dont worry itll be back up for hunting season. Just cant justify wearing the mudders out right now (no longer have access to the camps)

yeah i figured when i research more on what tires i want that i would look to see what everyone else has done. i want some good looking rims to go with tires so i figure i can find a rim and tire combo with the right offsets to make it work with just the torsion level and maybe if i have to do some fender trimming so be it.
