My 5.3 with procharger build almost done... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Found a 5.3 with a pro charger and with a intercooler for sale and bought it. It hasn't been easy getting it to all fit but after building new brackets and moving some things around it all worked. We should have it on a dyno today and I am hoping for about 450 rwhp. We did cam and lifters but nothing else.

Thats a really sharp truck. I would love to have pics of any young bucks face that tries to play red light hero with that surprise under the hood.

Beautiful truck. I love the color combo.

gas mileage? are you freaking kidding me? since when have you been concerned about gas mileage?

ArkGL01 · 09-02-2013, 09:59 AM

This is true but now its a lot better than that old 350...

Man, that's a beautiful truck! Although I've heard people around here (Sherwood) talk about your truck, I've never seen it in person. That procharged 5.3L should be a beast!
