I know there are probably like 185356 threads on here about upgrades to the 5.7 vortec, but I'd like everyone to list options of upgrades. Money and a budget is not a big factor, but I'm not looking for a turbo, although I would love to. My goal is slightly more towing power while keeping my mpg as decent as possible. I'm no speed demon but I live in the mountains now so I'd like to get as much low to mid range power as I can.
Here's all the mods I've added so far:
-Volant Cold Air Intake (dry filter)
-Cats must have fallen off at some point in its life
-Gibson Cat-back exhaust
-LT285/70R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers
-Blackbear Tube (rear O2 delete, 89 octane tune, adjusted for larger tires)
-Summit Racing Performance ignition coil, distributor, and 8.5mm spark plug wires firing ACDelco iridium plugs
-Completely Amsoil switch (besides trans)
Here's what I plan to do:
-The SCPI to MPFI injector swap
-Comp Cams 262HR-13 Complete Camshaft Kit
-Comp Cams Magnum 1.52 Roller Rocker Upgrade
-Hedman Shorty Headers
If I'm missing anything tell me! I will not drop in tire size, though. I really love the look of my 33s with the 6" Rough Country lift. I currently average 9.8 mpg around town and ive seen as high as 13.4 on the highway. I believe I've thought of almost everything. Picture is my truck.
Thanks in advance y'all!
