Talking 408 lq4 ?

First of all this is my first time to start a thread, so thanks for all the imfo.

I have a 03 LQ4 with a 4L80e tran computer an wireing harness that i plan on getting rebuild an stroked to a 408 an then put into my 96 SWB silverado. Im wanting to get around 500+ hp an tq, this will be a weekend driver kinda like a show an go type but more go. I like to play with my toys more than look at them. Any help on heads cam intakes an what ever else yall want to suggest is helpfull. I would like to use the fast lsxrt intake in order to keep it more like a truck with the low end tq. thanks

thanks for replying back, i love the pic, thats exactly in the range im looking for. what kinda heads, pistons, as well as cam are you using. I really want to go with the lsxrt intake to get the low end tq that you get with it so im guessing they are some sort of cathedral head. any imfo that you can share on how you put yours togather will be very helpfull.

Brian

My God GUTHRIE!! You have the most sexiest/beautiful OBS Silverado I've ever seen!!! I eventually wanna do the same thing to my truck. I did a turbo 6.0 swap into an 89 silverado, there's a link to my build thread in my signature, if your interested.
