Silverado 100 Horsepower Performance gain on a budget

A Z06 cam w/ some roller tip rockers will net about the power w/ not as much cost. Just a thought, not trying to be a jerk.

Do you have any dyno charts of an identical truck to back that up? I'm very interested in this.

I'll be proving/disproving your comment shortly, I have a 5.3L here that is going on the dyno someday and we'll be testing several cam grinds, I'll include the z06 cam in this group.

If there are any other cam grinds you guys would like to see and we can obtain them, we'll try them out.

thanks,

This is exactly why we're doing it, so you guys can see what mods make the best power!

From headers to turbo's, we're gonna test it all.

im going to be installing my reground LS6 cam, its .550/.550 218/218 on a 117 LSA, Im hoping it will run fine with the stock programming.

I would be interested in seeing what you can do along the lines of a towing package on a 5.3. basically increasing low end tq up to about 3,000rpm.
I have a wait for me tune, Gibson shorties,LT1 fans and 3.73s pulling a 5600lb camper.
I keep kicking myself for not getting lts instead of the gibsons as I think that would help me most. I get 11mpg towing and it does a lot better towing since i put the gears in, but it could alwaysbe better. The big thing is I don't want to sacrifice mileage.

With the mods in this article when will the truck start to need more fuel? Will it be as simple as new injectors or will it need a new pump as well? Also will it have to be retuned to get more fuel?

So just real quick i know that a live tune will give me more but i have a mail order i just thought this would be good info bought the truck stock 05-5.3l dynoed 259 rwhp new setup in my sig dynoed 341 thats a gain of 82 HPs to the tires with a live tune that 100HPs is lookin pretty good. ill get track times stock it ran 15.6.
