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?

Re: Best motor

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?
