State your goals and people can lead you in the right direction. Or just research it and make your own informed decisions.

Just remember that with more motor means your gonna need to beef up that 6l80. Depending on how high you wanna go you could just swap in a 6l90.

The stock 6L80e will handle 500-600hp easy.

 

He says he wants this to be all motor, no way in hell he even comes close to touching that.

 

Educate yourself on the direct injected engines. You'll find that a few of the things you talked about are not really needed for a 5.3 all motor setup on pump gas.

You have a 5500lb truck, an all motor build is a bad idea. Any respectable NA build will have shit for bottom end torque and you’ll ruin the truck.

 

not sure why you mentioned turbo’s also

 

if you don’t know what all motor means, thats ok too.

There are hundreds of vendors out there for buying stuff. You just need to know exactly what you want and your budget. If you wanna blow $10,000 like it's going outta style, call up summit racing or something because they will gladly sell you anything you want even if it will make the vehicle worse off.

Hey Buddy, 

 

Nice truck! Looks super clean. Take all the comments with a grain of salt. 

 

So straight NA! I like it. So you're going to need a few things. Top end and bottom end upgrades. 

 

TOP END:

I'd start with a Ported Cylinder head/camshaft package W/ AFM,DOD Delete.

Get yourself a BIG intake manifold and throttle body.

CAI

BOTTOM END:

If you're seeking more than 600 wheel you will need to beef up the rods/pistons/bearings.

FUEL:

High side fuel pump, middle fuel pipe and injectors.

Low Side pump if you can stomach the cost.

Meth Kit to get you over the hump.

EXHAUST:

If you live in a state with emissions testing.

https://afepower.com/afe-power-48-44003-twisted-steel-headers

 

If you're not in a state that requires emission:

This should get you started. OH, you could always just get a Whipple with a tune and get 560 wheel on your own for $6.5K The former list will cost you 15k+ parts maybe $17k parts/labor. 

 

Happy trails.

Cam, I was under the impression that gm put the 6l90 in the HDs because the 6l80 was inadequate.

There's no replacement for displacement man.  Most hi-power mods to a naturally aspirated motor come at the expense of street manners.  For all the money you spend to coax another 100 horsepower out of the 5.3, you could have just gone with a 6.2 or larger motor.

The 6L80 has torque and GVW ratings to last a certain number of miles.  The 6L90 was introduced for those applications requiring even more GVW and torque over its projected lifespan.

I failed to mention camshafts. Texas speed has 4 different camshafts. SV. Stage 1,2,3. Brian Tooley has a few, Gwatney some etc. these will all require a higher stall torque converter. I’d recommend going 3000 stall since you want big power out of that block therefore a big cam. CircleD has some good stuff.

These trucks are to new and not enough info about reliable parts so yes I'm asking for opinions and sets ups people do and dont like ect. And all .motor will wreck a 5500 lb truck how? I come from the custom frame and suspension world not modifying engines thanks keyboard warriors 

 

 

FOR YOU INFO  therea only 1 local guy boosted pushing 1000 hp with a 16 gmc . So how the **** is 1 guy gunna have all the info if I listen to everything he has we would have the same build.......

 

 

 

another thing I'd like to know is what also needs to be switched I know stock cats need to be replaced with high flow . What other random crap like that needs to be considered

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
