Re: Whats your impression of a 5.3L LS motor in these trucks?

I have a huge bias in this conversation, but because my name on here is blue and not gold (yet) I will keep my comments to a minimum. I will say that up until a couple years ago, you wouldn't catch me with anything other than a carb under my hood but times they are 'achangin'. I made myself jump into the LS world and I am loving it so far. You can't beat the price vs efficiency vs power aspect of them. To those that weren't impressed with a 5.3 in their ride I can almost promise it was a product of improper tuning. Maybe improper isn't the correct word, I should say, tuning that wasn't matched up to the current vehicle the motor is sitting in.
