More cubes or Procharge?
In 2009 I blew my stock 5.7 in my 02 Z-28. The only motor I could afford was a 5.3, so I now have a cammed 5.3 in there. I think that motor would be awesome for boost, however I am torn between getting a bigger cube motor or just putting a procharger on it. I have purchased all the parts to upgrade the suspension, including a 12 bolt rearend, and k member. Pricewise they are about the same. This is basicly a streetcar that might see the track once in awhile, but not my DD. Any advice would be helpful

I have read that the procharger kit is fairly easy to install. Just need a tune after that. I'min Iraq so it's not like i can call andfind out how easy it is.

Prochargers are fairly easy. Not as difficult as a standard type supercharger but more difficult than typical bolt-on upgrades.
Hardware and injectors are easy since its all up front or on top. The wiring can get tricky depending on what engine management you go with. Just be sure you have plenty of fuel flowing to feed it!

I think with a procharger I would really have alot of fun with that car the 5.3 spins up fast and has good power for what it is. change a few things like put an aluminum flywheel, better clutch and a FAST 92. Plus, I wouldn't be losing any drivabilty.
