I mostly tow and plow snow with my 99 5.3 powered silverado. I am looking for more torque and thought I'd throw out some ideas. Cold air intake, bigger cam but with short duration i dont want my power moving up the rpm range. LS6 heads and long tube headers. I could do a torque converter if needed but don't really want to. Im not looking for top end power my truck rarely goes past 4000 rpm unless i'm messing around with it. What are your thoughts?
