would you need to change the compression ratio?no would you want to? better beleive it. alky has a little less powerthen gas but it has a much high octane rating 105 to 109 range. y go to all take work and then lose power but not taking advantage of it?you will will need to pay attenion to you fuel lines and such though rubberans alky don't get allong together to well.

You would need dome pistons to raise the compression ratio on a 5.3L. As far as I know, there are no off the shelf pistons available for the 5.3L bore at the moment. You can always get custom pistons made, but thats more expensive of course. Just boost it and run alcohol.
