Default 5.3 vortec ls swap???

Hey guys thanks for reading , I'm new to the site today due to a brain buster. I'm more of a diesel guy myself but personally it gets old. I have a slightly modded 04 Sierra with a 5.3 and I want more performance . Everyone and their brother has one and I want a rowdy gas job to show them up. Currently I have,cold air intake, exhaust , tbi spacer , programmer and maf upgrade. I am looking into cam and headers but I see I could do the ls Intake. I want to know as many compatible parts as I can. I wanna gain some ponies ! Thank you

Turbo and or big inch stroker,anything else on a 5.3 is a minor gain that won't really show up those modded oil burners.

on3performance makes a turbo kit for that at a great price. I have never used it but if I could find a cheap decent truck around me I would do it in a heart beat.
