Jman9112 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 For the vortec motors, what are some good upgrades to boost power output? Relatively cheap. I did the throttle blade mod, so it responds quicker but I don't think it was any quantifiable power increase. Ballin' on a budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the throttle blade mod, so it responds quicker but I don't think it was any quantifiable power increase.If you're talking about the 4.3 nothing about making power on one is cheap which is kind of odd because it's a great motor even though they have some issues.Heads, cam, exhaust, and tune could get you over 300hp but it's gonna cost you. Really how cost prohibitive it is and the limited options is why people v8 swap. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

CleanSierra Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Get an LS swap, period. Don't be that guy that "wants to fix up this 4.3 because it's different and no one does it". There's a reason no one does it... Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman9112 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I just want a vortec 5.7 and do some simple shit to it. I don't want an ls for the simple fact that it wasn't designed for my truck. I want stock gauges, and if I buy a part at orielys I wanna know that it'll fit my truck. Ballin' on a budget.

CleanSierra Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Best of luck. I hope you never run into an LS swapped OBS on the street and try to run. Get ready for some hurt feels.

Really how cost prohibitive it is and the limited options is why people v8 swap. Thats what this thread is based on. How hard it is to swap 4.3 to 5.7.. The power question is based on when I swap, the easy upgrades to a 5.7 Ballin' on a budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
