I've heard of diamond pistons brian tooley kits turbos camshafts ect and bigger intakes more gas bigger injectors fuel pumps

but what else and where can I purchase these.  I need to know some trusted brands ill be updating exhaust and intake to eventually

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.

https://gwatneyperformance.com/product/gpi-complete-gen-5-l83-5-3l-drop-in-piston-connecting-rod-package-14-19-silverado-sierra-tahoe-yukon/#configuration

 

FUEL:

High side fuel pump, middle fuel pipe and injectors.

Low Side pump if you can stomach the cost.

https://goturbo.net/arm-465fp-ext-armageddon-465lph-lift-pump-2014-2018-extended-double-cab-chevy-silverado-gmc-sierra

 

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:

http://arh.lmperformance.com/shop.asp?brand=american-racing-headers&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIn4Kdmdre5gIVx8DACh1-OwkhEAAYASAAEgL-v_D_BwE

 

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

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
