Some 5.3 Lsx Questions
I'm looking into a 5.3 instead of ls1 because of my budget. I got a couple of questions. I'm having a hard time finding these answers.
1. What 5.3 should I look for?(Year, Vortec?, etc)
2. How much does it costs to change the accessories to fit under my hood?
3. With these mods, how much Rear Wheel horsepower am I looking at?
-224-250 cam(Im thinking GT1-1 cam).
-Stock manifolds with no cat, 3" cat back with cutout
-Ls1 Intake
-Ram Air intake
Drivetrain
T-56 with 3.43 gears
