Pssst.... I don't think you'd need to tweek that one. And if you need more power than that, and NOS!!! (Insert music in background: "Too Fast, Too Furious...")

not to add fuel to the fire but I found a 1999 2500 6.0L Vortec literally down the street at Hillsboro wrecking for $1350 with a computer. They say its complete and runs well (93,000 miles) although they also say the compression is 150-190 (probably a blown head gasket?). I believe these are rated at 300hp/360lb-ft? What would it take to squeeze a few more ponies outta it? Is that the typical going price for them?

Gen III/IV engines have crazy aftermarket support. Really the sky is the limit. Stop by Barnes and Noble and take a look at How to Build High-Performance Chevy LS1/LS6 V-8. It covers the Vortecs as well and has lots of build up receipes and dyno results (from simple bolt-ons to semi-race). How does a 550hp/600ft-lbs 6.0 build up sound? 561ft-lbs at 2,500 rpms sounds real good to me.

Now we're talkin... Barnes and Noble is on the way home from work. I'll be late for dinner tonight. I went by Powells yesterday and they about squat for engine building.

Is this the one you are talking about?

Yup, that's the one. I bought that when I was thinking of doing a gen III/IV swap. You know which way I went on that but I came really really close to dropping in a 5.3.

I'm sure there is tons of stuff on the web for gen III/IVs, I'm just not that up on them.
