Looking at boosting my '03 5.3.
The engine is running solid at this point with over 280k miles on it. I did have some re-manufactured heads installed a couple years ago due to cracked heads. Truck runs very smooth and no issues. Drivetrain is pretty solid also. Not burning any oil.
So to get ready for this I am looking at what I need to plan to do...
Looks like at a minimum I will be doing new oil pump, pickup tube etc, and timing chain. Beyond that what should I be looking at as an easy bolt on to help the truck run better? Thinking a CAM might help some as well as stronger valve springs? Would different rockers also be helpful?
I will likely go with a forged bottom end later on but for now I am just looking at what I can do with what I have. Not going to try Drag Racing this truck anytime in the near future.
I was poking around on Amazon and happened to come across this twin turbo kit and just had to think about it if nothing else.
