Suggestion...

Save up about a years worth of Hemi payments, increased insurance and license and put into your truck. Or take out a short term loan for the same and get you some real mods.

funny you guys say that about all 3 motors. i bought my son a 04 z71 rc silverado. the 5.3 runs great. have a hemi awd durango(wifes), it runs great too. but i still love my 5.9. though stock my 5.9 was pretty doggy. the hemi and the vortech 5.3 are stock motors and neither of them are dogs. but i can blow both there doors now. just took 10k under the hood to do it.lol

My buddy has everything in his engine modded on his 5.9. Litterally everything. I can pretty much keep up with him and that was before the tuner.
