Its not all that hard considering alot of the parts used you also can use lol. Play around on LS1sounds.com and there is a ton of cam vids and sound clips to play with lol

Hell, If my Tahoe could sound like that I would spend all my life savings for that. But there are no cams, heads, ECT...made for our trucks

wtf are you talking about? the gen III lsx engines are one of the most supported engine platforms in the aftermarket, you can do whatever the **** you want with these trucks.

I'll give ya one example of how far off you are on that..... When the LS1's wanted a cheap way to raise the compression of thier motors they slap on a set of 5.3L heads :Handshake:

spending life savings on modifying a truck? thats a scary though. of course at 16...i guess your life savings is still in a piggy bank

I haven't found shit for my truck...A 5.3L Vortec engine V-8. I only thing that I have found is a New Throttle body and a Supercharger and headers. Someone point me in a direction where I can find heads, cams, ECT...?

Thats the issue.... stop lookin at the truck motor specificly. If you are lookin for heads or a cam you can use any Gen 3 LSX parts... IE LS1 (5.7), LQ4 (6.0), LQ9 (6.0) and the wee 5.3. The Dart 205 heads and cam I have sitting next to me will fit that motor even though it says they are for an LS1.
