What are you looking for?
Have you read the engine builders thread?

First of all you have 2 cams. So youll need 2 cams with more lift, duration, etc to meet your expectations.

A "bigger crank" doesnt really make sense. I wouldnt touch your stock crank. Its more than likely forged and will produce enough power even on boosted applications.

Check out the engine builders thread in the 97-03 section and ask a few questions. MMR, modmaxracing, jlp are a few websites that carry parts for the engines. Also hop onto lightningrodder.com where people are always talking about engines. You wont find out too much here as this forum consists of mostly cosmetic mods and appearance aspects of these trucks.

Everything ive read says stroking a 5.4 isnt a great idea. Just throwing that out there

What I read was that a 5.4 is already a stroked 4.6 so putting more piston speed over the longer stroke causes premature wear to piston rings and other components.
