Need help
Was up guys so I needed some help or suggestions. Thanks ahead of time. I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 single cab its a v8 4.8. My question is what mods can I do too it to make it faster or for it to respond quicker it’s all stock at the moment I got it with 135,000 miles it runs nice not like my 5.3 Yukon but yea thanks guys I’m in south Cali.

What's your budget?
Being from CA may limit your options if you want to stay CARB legal and emissions legal. Do some reading on what you can do, your options are pretty much endless.
Internal stuff would be a camshaft upgrade and the supporting parts. A custom tune along with that. You could do a supercharger kit from a vendor. You could swap gear ratios to make it get up and go quicker. The more power you add the more you'll be concerned with the weak 4L60e transmission.

yes it’s one of the best mods I’ve done for my 4.8. I run 20 inch rims(29 3/4 tall tire) and I’m at about 2500 rpm at 70 mph. The taller the wheel the more gear you want to do. So yea gears a 3200-3600 stall, free flowing exhaust (headers, cai) and a tune will get the 4.8 moving pretty good. Plus those mods will transfer over to the 6.0.
