I think I may still lean to a turbo kit for the 03 Envoy 5.3. Seems to be less complicated of a install than an LSA and for an SUV, I'll probably benefit more from the MPG of a turbo. She nets in at 4800 lbs (extended wheel base version). 3.73 rear and superbly shitty 4L60E.
Wife has an 04 suburban, and she's about to get something newer... 12.9 for a big ass Tahoe is plenty fast, especially for a daily... changing the wheels would drop your gear ratio, but you'd probably run into that running out of fuel faster too.. nice build man, don't know of anyone else building common sense street rods... they all have "single turbo thousand horse" blahs blahs blahs that wouldn't last a year daily driving
I have a 5.3L, 6 speed & 3.43 gears. It’s gutless, but also has been very reliable. Would you put 4.10’s or go with the supercharger? Truck is a 4x4, so gearing my get expensive.
I got an 02 z71 and overheard you say you changed your engine because it was burning your coolant? Mine also smoke a little when I start it any suggestions
I've got a factory 5.7 ltr in a 1996 Tahoe 4x4. I've built it a bit. Headers, high performance electronics. I'm pushing between 350hp and 375hp. Not what you've got but I use the same exhaust you do. And I get almost 20mpg on the hwy. I'd get into way too much trouble with that much power!
Thanks that was the info I was looking for. Your driving style is very similar to my own, so the in town gas mileage is to be expected. Have you taken it on a road trip yet ? If so how did it do ? I have in mind to do a some what similar swap if things go right lol . Thanks , I enjoy your videos so keep them coming.
I have a 5.3 tahoe and what my car is doing is my rpm going to have and ain’t going no where I change of oil/fil and tranny flush and fill and spark plugs and spark plug wires and 4 new o2 sensora
Me and my dad just just picked up 66 C10 with a 6.0 lq4. Has posted and polished heads with zo6 cam and springs. Any other bolt ons we could throw on her for some more power? He would like to stay all motor though. Thanks
Ive had a 2006 Tahoe PPV for a while with 4:11 gears on 4 speed tranny, track suspension, and hydro boost braking on a 4.7 L V8, haven’t done much to it as it already seems to dog any other Tahoe I’ve met. Including SS. I got the same belt problem too and the larger radiator but it likes to heat up when sitting due to a higher rpm idle for amped up alternator (higher voltage for police equipment). I thought about selling it as it’s approaching 185k but I’ve com to find I have a rare beast that’s in demand. What upgrades do you recommend? Trying to keep the sleeper look. I’m in GA, born in Charlotte, maybe link up for a show as I DJ a ton here. Just can’t find many Tahoe performance minded folks, their all Lambos and Porches here. I’m know as the chaser or driver x for dry runs, I don’t have stability track or any restrictions. No redline. And when I pass police doing 130 mph they sit confused wondering if I’m a cop or not lol. Knock on wood. Nice job man! Let’s link up!
from my understanding if I will buy supercharger for my 5.3 I would have to buy something else as well, correct? Also, Cold Intake sits too close to the engine and too far from the air flow from outside as a result it sucks hot air instead of "cold" / ambient one.
I just bought a lsa just like the one on you white tahoe. I watched your videos, and just wanting to get the right parts.The an fittings for the fuel rail and plumbing, I was wondering if you had part numbers ? Aeromotive regulator also. Thanks
Honeslty vivid racing supplies Procharger supercharger. (Procharger is the company). I’m supercharging my 05 6.0 and the tuner kit for it is just shy of 6k. Granted I will need about 400 worth of new Injectors and I will be installing a cam and springs but if you just wanted a supercharger you could easily do it yourself for 7k. They’re pretty much bolt on. That 6k kit also includes and inter cooler which is not necessary if your not lookin for 6-700hp.
That's a very nice Tahoe brotha, I want my 05 with that much power so bad man. I have about 350 hp right now, so I'm gonna do some research on a blower.
I have a 2007 chevy tahoe, completely stock except some aftermarket intake it came with when i bought it.. I want to make it faster/stronger, any tips? What should i do to it?
Nice fast truck I love that wish I was close by I will ask of you to work on mine do some with the same to get more power look forward to your videos keep them coming can't wait to the call out how many miles is on your Tahoe as of now
Did you say before puppies are from L's simple? Did the company get the spacing right on the kits now do you know?do you think a stock motor can withstand the LSA ? We know stock trans can't. Awesome truck
I did too same time as well 2005. I didn't realize the Vortecs were LS I thought they were like the northstars of Chevy trucks LOL. After researching the thing hell I'm glad I bought mine for sure. I need some smaller tires and better wheels. My is geared and intake that's it
I bought an 02 5.3 and aside from 19’ heavy duty snow tires (which required an inch lift) and basic upkeep, nothing major has been needed, extremely reliable suvs and fun for drifting in the WI snow. Bodywork hasn’t held up nearly as good though, mostly because the same WI snow lol.

It's the 5.3 liter L59 motor with 4x4. Oh the dyno is a AWD dyno, could doing the run in 4hi vs 2hi cause this 16hp difference between the two despite me having more done to my engine?
But at the same time... that shop that did it... I wouldn't put it past them to just run it on the dyno and get the numbers and print it out without actually tuning it. But I didn't think that back in 2016. Only started to realize that about them later on when friends of mine dealt with them. Recommended any good tuners in the South Carolina/ North Carolina area? Charlotte isn't but a couple hours away for me anyway.
Don’t really want anything to big just want more then stock out of the family vehicle so if I’m by myself and on hwy someone rolls up I can give them a good 🏃 for there 💰

Hey man I got some questions since you mod your Tahoe.
I have an 02 GMC Yukon and i had it dyno tuned in 2016 with headers full exhaust intake and ignition done to it. The numbers came to 231 hp and 285 torque on 91 octane.
To me that seems a bit low, later on I had changed the fuel filter to which I found it very black after I cut it open.
Someone else had a bone stock Tahoe of the same year and engine and had it tuned and got 247 hp on 87 octane which is a reason why I think theres something wrong with mine.
It's the 5.3 liter L59 motor with 4x4. Oh the dyno is a AWD dyno, could doing the run in 4hi vs 2hi cause this 16hp difference between the two despite me having more done to my engine?
Seems a bit low. Might want to have someone else look at the tune
How much power do you think a clogged or near clogged fuel filter would take from it?
But at the same time... that shop that did it... I wouldn't put it past them to just run it on the dyno and get the numbers and print it out without actually tuning it. But I didn't think that back in 2016. Only started to realize that about them later on when friends of mine dealt with them. Recommended any good tuners in the South Carolina/ North Carolina area? Charlotte isn't but a couple hours away for me anyway.
