Which engine is in it now? Any GenIII engine is going to have a lot of power potential. The LS1 or LS2 has the advantage of taking weight off the truck. Weight is always your enemy. Depending on your intentions, the aluminum block engines, even the 5.3 block in the SSR, will be good. If you are going to go to a blown application or spray in N20 more than a 100 shot, I'd go with the 6.0L.

I would not even bother to upgrade to the 6.0 from the 5.3. You can use that money towards a turbo, supercharger or a really nice nitrous setup. A 125 HP shot of juice will make you brown your shorts the first time it hits.
