I vote for the Turbo LS motor. I have seen many pushing 550 to 600 Horsepower on stock internals, but I know that isn't your style to not go all out on something. Here is a link to one that I've seen on here with a 5.3 with a single turbo. The engine held up fine, the stock 4l60e didn't last long though :lol: Looks like fun anyways!


No matter what you do I'm sure it will turn out killer!

I am sorry to here about your father in law I will pray for you and your family.
This is an awesome gesture for your mother and I'm sure it will be a killer ride that will make her very proud.

From our family to yours, we wish your mom and family the best.

Thanks you
