Are there supercharger or turbo kit options for the vortec 5.3L for my 2001 Tahoe and can the drive train handle it?

The 4L60E automatic transmission found in your 2001 Tahoe is known to grenade 200k> miles on factory power. they sell conversion kits to run a 4L80E but there’s a reason why most people don’t convenience and tuning the powertrain control module if you’re in California it’s a automatic no because you’re putting 2006< computer guts or tuning in a 2001. Most people going for power get something else , swap the transmission or “build” it.Are there supercharger or turbo kit options for the vortec 5.3L for my 2001 Tahoe and can the drive train handle it?
mostly depends on how it is driven I blew a handful of them up on na gas, all you gotta do is push the big pedal harder, I'm willing to bet I could break all 3 of them in no time at allI don't know about the 4l60 crapping out before 200k...I have one tahoe with just short of 300k on it, another with 190 on it and yet another with 250 on it and they all are original and work like new. I guess guys who never change fluid may problems but, taken care of can last longer than 200k
