escalade 5.3l mods

[zac851]

so i've got a 02 escalade i bought over a year ago. I've kept it mostly stock except for exhaust and a intake. before this I had a highly modified turbo GT...but sold it for the truck. I've got the itch to mod something again and figured I could get a little more pep to the truck. My ultimate goal would be to buy a single turbo kit for it, but I just dont want to drop that much money on it.

what other options do I have?

From what I've read...this is a LM7 Engine. What parts will work or crossover to fit this thing?

Right now I'm thinking about adding a mild cam and then just getting a dyno tune at the moment.

any suggestions

2002 only (I think)....and all the 2WD Escalades that year (also odd) have 5.3. All the AWD Eskies have the 6.0.

I'm pretty sure the 03+ are all AWD 6.0.

It's a fun fact.....I worked at a Caddy dealer in 98-01....LOL.

So what does the 01 Escalade have in it?

Nothing....LOL...there ain't no 2001 as far as I know....at least that's what I remember. 99-2000 GMT400 and the 800 came out as a 2002 in the spring of 2001....I think.

I think I'm just gonna get a set up pacesetter LT headers and the y pipe to finish off my exhaust.

I'd like to get a mild cam and I will definitely get a dyno tune afterward.

Any recomendations on a cam?? Nothing CRAZY. I don't want to sacrifice driveability...
