I walked my buddy's '98 z28 A4 with my 5.3 powered '99 SS M6. It's not necessarily the 5.3 that's slow, its the gearing and the weight. Not trying to say that the LS1 isn't faster then the 5.3, cause it is, just that the 5.3 has potential.

I agree with you. Im not saying the 5.3 doesnt have potential because ive seen some pretty sick blown 5.3's along with others that had h/c and nitrous, even saw a yukon with a turbo'ed 5.3 once at a car show. Im just saying that a BONE stock 5.3 in a full size pickup truck like mine is slow *** *****.Off course we all know this already...but im just saying

The iron block 5.3's were called LM7's. I don't know if it changed in '07 or not.
