412hp for the 5.0. Not really that impressive. AMG makes well over 500 naturally aspirated. Chevy makes 505 naturally aspirated. Chrysler makes 470 no forced induction.

I didn't know amg still built cars. Last I heard was the gremlin. So you think there's a way I can get my 5.3l pushn 400 hp with no turbo/supercharger. I guess there would b if I had enough $$$.

AMC made the Gremlin. AMG makes high end performance Mercedes.

I can make 400hp out of the 5.3 without touching the bottom end. Its not hard at all. Probably cost about $5,000 in parts plus labor to install everything.

Less than that...

Good port job on the heads, and a nasty cam, add an LS6 intake, 400 rwhp all day. it still aint gonna beat a new 5.0 though ;)

Man I feel stupid now. Amg !!! I c y u guys think I'm a dipstik. $5000 is still a little out of my price range but u can bet ima start saving. It is nice to know it would only cost me $5000 to beat a brand new $30k vehicle.

I only paid $14k for the truck with 23k miles on it. So about $19-$20k all togather. I can live with that.
