as of right now i have a 2010 tahoe. its on 285's (if that matters) i have already done an 18" magnaflow muffler and a k&n cold air intake. i did gain some power and it sounds great. but i want more power without ****** my wallet. i tow a 24' 5000lb trailer to the desert and would just like for it to be even easier. i have the 5.3 liter.

Higher stall Torque Converter? I dont know if anybody has done it on the SUV, I have done it in other cars. I dont know about higher ratio gears - Have not seen the rear end inside yet.

Not a lot you can do with this engine. Supercharge it.

thought about that but how much will i actually gain?

Do some reading on this forum and you'll find your answer. A ton of people on this forum have gone with a BlackBear Tune (a vendor of TYF) and been extremely happy with the outcome!

my vote would be get the tune but re-gearing is a must other wise it will always be a dog. unless you get to like 500hp on the ground or something crazy.

Have you thought about a cam and headers? A different TC and gears would help with your towing.
