Mike, thats weird as hell, i was just surfing around and decided it would be a cool swap, we’ll see i guess, im not gonna do it unless i can sell my motor b/c right now the z06 is my priority for making fast. i figured if i could sell my 5.3 and put afew grand in and do all the work myself i’d be crazy not too! ---

joey didnt help it out, thats for sure but i never thought it handled like the lightnings, and my 08 silverado handles awesome, it only goes 98 b/c it hasnt been tuned yet but all in all i love that little truck, i had the srt10 doing 140mph on the northway sunday and was white knuckling the steering wheel b/c it felt so lose. ---

seriously tony after you called me I thought about things… honestly, if you want a winter project to keep your hands buisy…why dont we fab up a custom turbo kit for that truck. It will be a hell of alot cheaper and overall easier then a LS3 swap and you will get way more power then a cammed LS3 even out of a bone stock boosted 5.3…and theirs always room to grow…upgrade the fuel pump/injectors and tune the boost up…More power is in the click of a knob… Plus, that thing would sound SICK with a turbo setup…I personally just think its a better and funner route but boost is addicting and if you boost the truck you might want to boost the Zed oh Six :ninja ---
