Out of the 4.8L, 5.7L and 5.3L what is the best motor in your opinion?
in what refernace are you refering too?
the 5.7 is the most popular so naturally there are alot of mod kits for them. the 5.3L (which I have) is a stong motor for it's size and best in Gas milage.
the 4.8L is pretty strong, but lacks in torque.
If I was going to build a vehicle I would put in the 5.7.
But I like what I have now.. 300hp 5.3L

You get 300hp from your 5.3 with an intake & exhaust?

I haven't Dino it, But I would say it is pretty close.. I do not have a muffler, plus I have the GenII system, not just the air filter, plus I have the Bosch Platinum +4 plugs. it came stock with 285hp.. I figure 10 hp again.

How come the 6.0L wasn't an option?
