Need ideas!!!

Well with the way the truck market is my brother is going to have his truck for a long time. He drives a 2007 nnbs silverado ecsb with a 5.3. Hes gonna finally start dumping some money into some go fast stuff but he dont know what route to go with. Were thinking we could go with a 6.0 swap or go with a turbo or supercharger. Reliability is a must since its a dd but not looking to set records. His goal is to see some low 13s maybe even flirt with some 12s. So what do you guys think? Where is he gonna get the best bang for his buck and still be reliable?

I like the idea of nitrous for a DD. Good street manners, good track numbers.

Turbo + stock motor = done

maybe do a cam and 3.73 gear swap later.

Hes not gonna have a whole lot of money at one time to make big purchases so I think hes leaning towards buying a 6.0 and building it up as he can. What year and type should he be looking for??

2002 and newer to get the crank he can fit to his current setup. LQ9 if he wants all engine or nitrous power or LQ4 if he wants to put some kind of forced induction on it.

Would he have to swap anything over from the 5.3 to the 6.0? I was thinking the intake was different on the gmt900 trucks

LQ9=higher compression and with a GT2-3 cam it will come into boost beautifully ;)

The only thing is that you need to find the right engine with an 58x reluctor wheel on the crank in order for it to work with the new style pcm. The ealier versions were 24x wheels.

Yeah, gotta change the reluctor wheel out or swap cranks if it has the 58 tooth reluctor on the 07+ trucks.

I was reading some more today and found out that some motors have different reluctor wheels. How many teeth does mine have and which year motors match?

Well it looks like he needs to have a genVI motor and those are still pretty pricey so I think he is gonna stick with the 5.3 and save up for a turbo kit.
