i have a 2005 chevy tahoe with a whipple supercharger
it leaned out yesterday and burned a hole in a piston.
would i gain any hp by getting a long block from a vette verses a stock replacement long block? also would all of my factory stuff bolt on?
any help would be greatly appreciated

what came stock on the tahoe ? a 5.7 or a 5.3 or a 6.0 ? you wont gain much if anything for several reasons. you are running boost. vettes are not (besides the zr1) you would be much better building a lq9 40x and getting forged internals personally. besides that gen III engines share parts basically so you wont have any problem moving things from engine to engine

its a 5.3 and thanks for the reply

its a 5.3 and thanks for the reply

well the 5.3 can make good power boosted. but a 6.0+ will make more i say go big or go home. get a lq9 and put some nice boost friendly heads on it and watch that Whipple scream
