I'm gonna be that guy and say it (sorry to be blunt).....if you do not know what the difference between a crankshaft and camshaft is, any money you spend on "modifying" your engine is gonna be a waste of your $$$$$$.....the more power you make the more that's gonna break and the more your mpg is gonna go down......

I have owned numerous blower / stroker motors and anytime you start getting into internals you are opening a can of worms.......

I would do as Bubba Sides suggested and re-gear.

Sorry if I sound rude but just my 2cents

You'll need matching ring a pinion gears for the front And back. Some people get a master install kit. And I recommend a Ls diff if you don't have one now. If you got the money am aftermarket diff cover but unless you need it it's expansive for a looks mod.

Yukon is good and USA standard( I believe that's the name) is the same company as Yukon they just didn't pass their product standards(just make more noise) so you'll save some good money. I believe you should have the 8.8 in the front and 9.75 in the rear. . Look through the forum there was a really recent thread all about regearing. It will give you all the info you will need and then some.
