BlueBeast04 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Ok say someone got their income tax and has about $5k to spend, what are your suggestions as far as modifications on an all stock 4.8 DD? Is it worth supercharging at 74,000 miles? possible 6.0 engine swap? cam? heads? What im getting at is if you could spend 5 grand on a motor, what would you spend it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSplaytoy Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I would leave the daily as is since it's a DD and spend the money hooking up the SS. But that's just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBeast04 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 well if you were to spend it on a stock SS what would you suggest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSplaytoy Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 well if you were to spend it on a stock SS what would you suggest you want looks, speed, or both? LOOKS: Billet grille, rollpan, shopman tie, drop, tonneau, maybe hood if the price is right, HIDs Go FAST: CAI, LTs, exhaust, tune That's if I had to choose both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBeast04 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 LTs? Already got the looks, just want performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSplaytoy Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 "LTs" long tube headers... sorry for not clarifying I would do some transmission mods. You can get a few supercharger kits for under 5k or do a n/a build. LEP has forged 408 short blocks for like 3500 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 ^^^^Id go for that LEP 408 block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBeast04 Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 what about this? http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=61780 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketaylor4 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) what about this? http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=61780 Any kind of charger is gonna reduce engine life so at 74,000 youd be decreasing it, as for mods, id do the taylor plugs, attack the tranny, shift kit, servo. obv a tune, cai intake, use the long tube headers if you want to see any kind of increase shorts wont do it. Add an exhaust.Those are the most basic upgrades to add some speed to the truck. I agree with hooking up the ss rather than the 4.8, gonna see more performance out of the ss 6.0 the 4.8.

KissMySilvSS Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 well if you were to spend it on a stock SS what would you suggest If I were you, I would do a Cold Air Intake (CAI), Wheatley Tune, Long Tubes, Cat-Back Exhaust, Trangs-go shift kit w/ Vette servos, etc, New Plugs/wires, 160* thermostat to start. If you decide to go FI or just add heads/cam IMO I would do the above mods first. Just throwing a blower or a head/cam package at the truck with everything else stock would be a waste of money and performance IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
