2002 5.3L L59 engine
vision motorworks 80mm throttle body (will this fit on the stock intake?)
Zo6 cam
LS7 high rev lifters
pacesetter longtubes pypes x pipe with cutouts and magnaflow mufflers
speedway motors TH350 to ls1 kit (th350 2300 stall and b&m shift kit)
tuned pcm


how much power should i expect from this combo(RWHP)?
will 2300 stall be enough for this cam?
should i get an LS6 intake/aftermarket or keep the truck intake for my 4dr 70 chevelle?
oh and how much nitrous can one of these things handle (about 100k mi)?

i don't know about nitrous, but i know of a certain fairmont with a junkyard 5.3 that is seeing 600+ hp with a turbo, over 150 drag runs, dyno pulls, and thousands of street miles, and it's not missing a beat.

Nice combo. However, knowing the price of gasoline, I'd opt for a built
4L60/65 trans for the OD.

thanks but i plan to use a th350 to keep everything cheap cause i already have one with a B&M shift kit and 2300stall converter

The thing is about the l59 engine is the intake flows the same amount as the ls6 intake... it would be a wast of your money to buy one... if your going to buy a new intake i would buy a fast intake......

so keep the truck intake..... will an 80mm tb fit on it?

Not sure on the TB but I'd slap some comp 918 valve springs on it. Spray it all day long with a 100-150 hit with a safe tune.

if you have the room under your hood to keep the truck intake i would keep it..... and im pretty sure the tb should fit on there,,, but you might want to double check i might be wrong.....
