5.3
I put a 5.3 out of a truck in my 98 TA...I put the ls1 intake and tb on it along with all the ls1 excessories..also headers and dual exhaust...That was it completely stock other then this...I ran it at HPT and ran a best of 13.70 and i have beat stock ls1 cars...So take it for what it is worth im happy with my 5.3. Also car has stock gears..and has never been tuned.
