Have a 2013 Tahoe 5.3, installed Airaid intake tube,K&N drop filter, Magnaflow 12589, resonator delete with SLP tips. Wondering if there is any other mods that would help before the BB tune. Its a Daily Driver

What kind of budget do you have for mods and how far do you want to go?
Can you do your own work?

 

[talofa808]

I know it can get crazy but maybe i can spend up to 2k. Nothing too extreme. I read some stuff on headers, corvette servo, etc. Just wanted to know if there were mods that were kind of must haves. No I don't do my own work ( I wish).

2k.
Get a Circle D 2800 or 3k rpm converter.
Texas speed 212/218 cam kit.
Speed engineering long tubes.

I've had estimates to install a cam for between $1200 and $2000. $800 is a big difference to attribute to just per hour labor cost so can you tell me what would be a middle of the road cost to install a roller cam and lifters?

Hey Baba, you still got your mechanic friend. May need some help installing parts

I just got off the phone with Texas Speed & Performance. For my needs they recommended the camshaft kit,headers with y-pipe and a dod kit. Keep my torque converter stock and vvt. Just wanted to know what you guys think

Might as well do this while you're at it.

I'd do the servos to.

Does that cam have some lope to it?

I'd definitely delete your DOD. One less thing to worry about.
I'm looking to do the same thing so I'm not sure I could be of any help there, haha.

 

[talofa808]

Went ahead and pulled the trigger. Got everything from Texas Speed & Performance. Camshaft Kit, Longtube Headers & Y-pipe, dod/afm kit. Everything was about $1700 plus shipping to hawaii which was $250 . There goes the 2k

 

[ezdaar]

awesome! your going to love it!
Should have got the 3k converter tho.

Congrats. Haha, you don't mess around.
I'll doing something similar in the very near future.

1700 bucks....outstanding. Now about installing all of that...... Do you have any quotes to install everything? I may add a set of heads to your list depending on my bank account. I'm starting to wonder if a 400 to 450hp crate would be the better option.

 

[Bruizza]

I am sure they got you right. Just noticed you were looking at parts for the 4L80 being that you have a 13 you have the 6l80.

 

[talofa808]

Update! I cancelled that order the next day, I think i was ahead of myself with all the reading i was doing. I figured since i'm on a island and drive in a circle all day that it wasn't really necessary. Opted for the BBP tune and it runs good just got to test out that 91+ tune.

 

[ezdaar]

LAME!

 

[talofa808]

LAME!

I know I know

 

[ezdaar]

No ice cream for you for a month!

 

[talofa808]

That is why i haven't updated in a month was worried what you would think. LOL

 

[ezdaar]

Bah!

No 1/4 mile tracks on the island?
