I want to add alot of power to my 5.3 for pulling a trailer. I like turbos but hate the pricetag.

Without changing the cam, best thing you can do is swap to longer ratio rocker arms. This will act like isntalling a bigger cam. You want to go with 1.8 rockers, dual springs, and aftermarket pushrods.

THERES QUITE A BIT TO DO. IVE DONE A FEW THINGS SUCH AS K&N AIR INTAKE ($300), GRANATELLI MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR ($400), HYPERTECH POWER PROGRAMMER ($300), FLOWMASTER EXHUAST ($300). EACH OFFERING THEIR OWN HORSEPOWER INCREASES AND PEARKS. IVE NEVER HAD IT MY TRUCK (2001 SILVERADO 5.3 2WD EXT CAB) ON A DYNO BUT ITS DOES HAVE SOME GET UP AND GO. IVE BEEN LOOKING INTO HEADERS FOR SURE AND MAYBE EVEN A THROTTLE BODY. ALL COME WITH A PRETTY LITTLE PRICE TAG JUST A FEW IDEAS.

The best thing to do is to add a cam and get a custom tune.You will gain anywhere from 80-100 extra horses.Check out ls1truck.com to check out the results.
