I'm in the 520rwhp range, check out my mods. This motor had a weak baseline so would expect 530's in an average to upper average stocker.

Yes,
PBJ Performance just installed custom grind cam and ported heads, intake runners and throttle body. 535 rwhp and 566 rwtrq.
No belts, no bottles to fill, just gobs of huge torque all the way across the power band. My truck makes over 500 foot pounds by 3400 rpms and it stays over 500 all the way past 5500 rpms. Has a nice lopey rumble to boot.

Much easier to do NOS or SC than tearing your engine apart IMHO. Like mmmmtorque said, basic stuff will get you close I think. Headers, exhaust, PCM, Cat delete. And 1HP from Justins CAI

Bolt on are going to get you in the 470 rwhp range. You cannot get to 500 rwhp (much less 525) N/A without popping the heads and cam.

I will also add that there is a HUGE performance difference in 535 rwhp and 470 rwhp. My truck feels like it is 1000 pounds lighter now.:rock:

How long did it take o do the rockers and etc???:dontknow: Cost?

 

[ViperTruck2933]

The roller rockers bolt on. They are expensive at about $1K.

Once you get to 525 you'll want 625, then 725...it wont stop.

Well, eventually the bank will call and stop you at some number

The spousal unit is pretty good at putting a cap on it too.

I wish mine would have called about a year ago...and I have no spousal unit now either

I'm actually trying REALLY hard not to get M&H drag radials and Eagle wheels...kind of like good fighting evil. The evil is slowly winning and I know the bank wont be calling anytime soon either. What am I to do?

Better just go ahead and order them. Get it over with.

Just don't forget to ask M&H for the VTCOA forum discount. It's a good reduction.:rock:

Agree, although you might as well go with the Nolstagia slicks

Any brake caliper mods needed? I was thinking yes.

Yea, just a little

I purchased a spare set, one (very thin) set for the strip and originals for the road course.

Julian - do you have a RC or QC...it will be more difficult in a QC cuz of powertrain loss.
