    I just bought my first 5.3 in May and I’ve already got an S&B cai, deleted resonator, and ported 6.2 Intake and manifold by Chuy’s performance. I was researching what would be the next step to get this beast moving quicker and this is a great launching point. Great video and delivery

    We are screwed. New bills and testing can tell if it has been retuned. ANything other than the stock oem one inc trans is an automatic fail. Was just about to stroke my 5.3 when this happened. Leave it stock, not worth the hassle or get some gears.

    @gordocarbo8 ай бұрын

    Gears, supercharger or stroke it, go small on the cam if any. Heavy truck, small engine..unless you spend lots of $ most bolt ons on any car are a waste In Ca if it doesnt have the OEM tune inc the trans its an automatic fail now. Fun is illegal here.
