hey guys. came on here to get chevy 5.3 and 4.8 info..i dont have a truck just yet. im in the process of selling my 600rwhp duramax diesel and getting into a scsb 2wd truck and making it a street strip only truck. ive been browsing at some trucks and i realized how hard it is to find a single cab short bed with a 5.3 or even a 4.8. first question, how much better is a 5.3 then a 4.8?? and what kinda parts list am i looking at to get into the 11's?? im all new to the gas fuel injection v8 performance. any info would be thankful.

 

bump..anyone wanna pass on some info?

 

bump...hello?? anyone on here?

 

5.3 truck being you get a lot with less.

 

find the cheapest 4.8 truck you can find then switch in a 6.0, will save you alot of time and money getting into 11s..

 

thanks guys. engine swap will definetly be in the future. 408 forsure. but for now i wanna mildly build a 4.8 or 5.3? would it be a little harder getting power from the 4.8 then a 5.3 or is there not much of a difference at all?

 

i was thinking a KB racing turbo kit, cam, stall and built tranny?? theres a memeber on here making 617hp with a mild setup on a 4.8. very impressive.
