Thanks!,
When I was looking for a truck to buy, I could find 4.3 trucks everywhere. Finding one with a 5.7 was tough for sure.
The 5.7 is rated at 255 hp @ 4600rpm. It goes great. Adding the intake, headers, pulleys, chip and dual exhaust should help it out a bit as well.
I'm hoping to save up some money and put an efi, 383 stroker in it. At that point, it should be somewhere in the 375 hp range. That's plenty for me. This will always be my daily driver to use for hauling and towing...
