I just took a vortech v2 (that needs a rebuild) in on trade so..... its going on my truck. 5.3 single can short bed 6l80e z71 1500.

Who do you guys recommend to rebuild it and possibly upgrade the impeller (it has a blade MIA)?

Should I even bother with the impeller upgrade or go with the factory vortech?

Goal: 400whp on 89 oct and FMIC (Meth if needed, 93 when towing)

Plans: FMIC so ill be replacing my current transcooler with a remote style w/ fan under the bed.

Questions:

-Who should I have rebuild the SC?

-Should I upgrade the impeller wheel while its getting rebuilt if the cost difference isn't crazy?

-The 5.3 accessory mounting locations havent really change since the later year/body, it looks like vortec bracket will work with my engine... can anyone chime in on this?

-Assuming ill need a FPR with a boost reference, whats a good choice for the factory rails/lines?

-I'm located on Long island, NY. Looking for a reputable tuner in my area.

-Can i safely meet my goals with the factory manifolds and cats? If needed ill go with headers but i'm not looking to go too crazy with this truck.

Thanks for any help,
John
