    Rear end compatibility

    I have a 2004 Tahoe with a lot of work I put into it, that was unfortunately totaled recently. I’m looking at a 2011 ltz and I plan on stripping all the usable performance parts from my old car to the new car. The 2011 comes with 3.42 gears and I want to know if my 3.73 rear end will swap right...

    500+ rwhp out of a 5.3?

    And for the cam install I have an extra set of heads that I plan on using, sending to machine shop and gonna build those, I work for GM as a tech and have access to lifts so I was gonna get everything together and knock it out over a weekend, and send it to tuning the Monday after. That’s the...

    500+ rwhp out of a 5.3?

    I am the builder. That’s why I’m on here for guidance before I just slap whatever in it. But you’re right, those are things I’m already worried about breaking as it currently sits. I was looking at the tru-trac already so I think I’ll go ahead and get that now.

    500+ rwhp out of a 5.3?

    thank you. I’m trying to just get as close as I can, maybe a blower in the future, but a good cam combo and what others wish they would have done/have done when they did a 5.3 build. Id rather not swap it to a 6.0 but if I find one cheap, who knows. Just looking for advice from people who have...

    500+ rwhp out of a 5.3?

    It’s a daily driver and at most I can have it down for a week. My budget is whatever, as long as it stays reliable, I don’t care. I have a stock 4l60 with 3.73 gears and stock converter at the moment. Tires are 275/55, so about 32 in. Was going to go 4.10 or 4.56 with a 3k stall, and obviously...

    500+ rwhp out of a 5.3?

    As the title says, I’m trying to get over 500 to the wheels NA. Is it possible with a 5.3? Or should I just start looking for a 6.0? I’m at full bolt ons right now and I don’t want to do heads and cam if I’m not gonna reach my goal. If I can just get close to 500 I’d be happy with that. Mods so...

    Open differential to posi

    So I want to do a posi trac rear and I have an open diff. I’m not sure if I have an 8.5 or 8.6 and I’m not sure where to look. I also want to put 3.73 or 4.10 in it. Can I use my factory housing, or is there clearance/space or any other issue that I’d run into? I’m not opposed to grabbing an...

    Rear bumpers

    I’ve been looking for different style rear bumpers/bumper covers for a while and I just can’t find one that I like. Has anyone found any interesting bumpers, or have any suggestions on where to look? The painted cover on the steel ones are alright but if I could find something that isn’t steel...

    Okay, thanks! Any idea on what the smallest spacer I would need is? Saw some people saying 1/4 in would work.
