Upgrading the 5.3L

[LabGeek24]

Well over the past couple months ive been debating on upgrading some parts on the 5.3L and have decided that Im going to over the next couple months.

Current:
Stock 5.3 - 150xxx miles
Airaid MIT with K&N Filter
Bulldog Programmer
Flowmaster 50 series (Not real sure was on when i purchased)


Future:

Cam: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/tfs-30602001 - Thinking this one since i Daily Drive and haul a trailer occasionally with a 4wheeler

Headers: Long Tube w/ ORY- Any Suggestions on brand? Doug Thorley, LPP?

Torque Convertor - http://www.circledspecialties.com/p-6-gm-278mm-hp-4l60-ls-torque-converter.aspx - Thinking this but im not real sure about the stall. (Somebody please school me on it)

Vette Servo?

Blackbear Tune

Thoughts and Opinions? Nothing is set in stone

Not a good torque cam, the power range is too high. I would call Comp Cams and talk to them, be honest with what you plan to do with your truck.

Just looking for all around performance pretty much. nothing insane. just trying to make it more fun to drive. I do a moderate amount of highway driving

The rest of the stuff, marginal difference (IMO). Not much return for the buck.

Good read....notice where the torque and H/P starts to kick in.

I'd do a 6.0 swap and be done with it. Your opinion may vary. Good luck.
