supposedly.....just swapping to the ls3 intake alone can add up to 50hp, just what I have read and I guess there not that expensive and it's supposed to be a straight swap. i would advise checking that info first though I'm just a internet dummy

Couldn’t you tell me this tmrw?

I could have given you a false lead there, it may applicable doing that with 5.3 -vs- doing with a 6.2, I may have been thinking the other way around

**what threw me off is my Silverado has the l83 but I can swap to the l86 intake and pick up a couple pony's

What's it going to cost to have all that installed? was that all included in the $1200 quote for the cam install you posted the other day?

Not quite...
I called another shop I’m trying to find space for/relocate. This wasn’t something they typically deal with but he did look up the hours involved according to the “book”. Since mine is AWD it’s supposedly a 19 hour job (2wd is 18.5) when you factor in removing the heads. He gave some recs for four other shops that specialize in LS builds that are local. Two of which I know without even calling would be priced higher. The third I called prior and they wanted $4400 including tune/parts.

Long story short I’m going with a $1600 labor option. I don’t trust the $1200 option. I’m sure I can find cheaper but I’m past the stage of doing it the cheap way. I’ve gotten ****** over way to many times.

ok, well I'm really curious how this plays out, what it ends up costing, what it sounds like and what you get out of it performance wise.

X2! Been wanting to do the same thing on the Yukon. Obviously different motors, but same concepts and I can extrapolate expectations from the noted gains. [emoji16][emoji106][emoji631]
