    before you go cam, i say get everything else ready for it. Get the full K&N CAI, headers with y-pipe, delete cats, to a real muffler like borla or magnaflow (NOT FLOWMASTER) 3000 or so stall converter with an oregon performance trans cooler.

    then get the DOD delete kit, which is LS2 valley cover, damnper, sproket and LS7 lifters. you will wanna do this for the cam swap because the stock lifter start to fail over 6k RPM (ive heard)

    well, i pretty much just told you everything ive done to my truck

    Yeah the flowmaster is just for the time being, it was already on the truck. I was thinking about going with a 3" Dynomax bullet at the same time the LT's and Y pipe are put on......would this muffler hurt any, like not enougth backpressure?

    GTFO of here choke-lahoma!! LMFAO!!

    G isn't lying, we can pull some power out of the 5.3 but it just takes all the right components and setup to make it all mesh

    Dude you'll be amazed at the difference the nelson tune makes. I have a 04 cc 4x4 with 5.3, cai, catback and a NP tune. The tune made all the difference in the world. With each piece I could tell a little bit more but the tune is what made the biggest difference. If shifts so much better, its not a violent shift just feels like it can pull so much harder after it shifts than before. I think that has to do with the tourqe managment that NP gets rid of.

    its a little coolant line that runs to the bottom of the throttle body. i still need to do mine, just been lazy. just find a connector and bypass the tb.
    edit: just seen your nnbs, sorry. not sure about the new model. what i described was for my 06
    06ccsb, cammed, stalled, geared
