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.

then what makes one more condusive for NA than the other????? Compression? and does that 1 point make that big of a difference?

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
