There are plenty of reasons as to why one might want to add more power to their vehicle. This hunger for greater performance isn’t specific to guys with sports cars – truck owners like to have fun, too. It’s why we’re able to enjoy videos of Duramax-equipped Chevrolet Silverados giving it to 5.0L Ford Mustangs at the strip.
A Duramax diesel engine is a fairly stout powerplant in factory form. However, if you opted for the mid-range 5.3L V8 in your second-gen Silverado and are looking to give it some more spunk, Late Model Racecraft has a solution – the Street Stalker Package.
The 2011 Silverado shown in this video has been equipped with such a package, which is essentially a cold-air intake and performance headers, and it put down 307 horsepower to the rear wheels. We’d say this is a decent gain considering the fact that the 5.3L Silverado came with 315 ponies at the crank from the factory. As far as torque gains, we had a tough time making out the grainy figures, but we believe it to be 318 lb-ft.
What do you think of this bolt-on solution? Speak to us in the comment section below.

Jesus, you guys can’t even link to LMR’s website?! The LMR link goes to your own site. Pay credit where it is due FFS!
Hey Andrew, thanks for visiting.
I’ll explain my rationale to try and alleviate your discomfort – the hyperlink for LMR is to bring our readers to other articles on the same topic (LMR).
We could’ve linked to the website, but it offers no information on this kit.
As far as credit is concerned, I am not seeing how we are taking any credit from LMR? We shared their video (from their YouTube channel, not their website) and generated all corresponding content.
Hopefully this helps.
You guys have a habit of never citing sources. And this instance isn’t about you talking credit, it’s about not crediting the person/company/outlet/source that gives you a reason to write this. It’s not the most ethical thing and holds you back as a blog
That’s because this video wasn’t from an outlet. It was a video online, and it is of a GM-related vehicle, so we took it upon ourselves to share this with our readers. There is nothing unethical about sharing videos; why would YouTube provide a code to embed videos if it was?
Unethical would be pretending to have taken this video ourselves, and publishing it as our own. We did not do that. We found the video and shared it.
You never cite via link back your sources. Myself and others have brought that fact up previously. Look at every media outlet, from blogs to BBC, all link to original source. How hard is that? And you’re right, they don’t offer details about this specifickit on LMR’s site, but they sure do offer contact information.
“You never cite via link back your sources…”
I know for a fact that this isn’t true, so it’s hard for me to believe what you are saying.
The link to their website is also in the video description, beyond that, I don’t see how linking you to their contact info is the same thing as giving them credit. There’s a difference between ethics and courtesy. I don’t think any reader wanting to know more would be at a loss if we did not provide this link. If you can navigate our site you can navigate Google. I don’t mean to come off as defensive or confrontational, but this is preposterous.
Please, let us know when we’ve plagiarized as we would like to know of such grave errors. In this case, the original source IS the video, which isn’t linked… Because it is embedded…
If it’s not original content, cite and link where you got it. Like everyone else, even if it’sa press release. You don’t. ever. You just link back to yourselves. I can go grab any of the ‘articles’ on the first page as an example. Frankly, to be frank Frank, it’s true.
Please, share any of these articles you speak of.
Once again, you seem to be misunderstanding the fact that the original content IS THE VIDEO. (The source is LMR’s YouTube channel. Linking to that would be redundant.) We’re just going in circles here.
315HP stock at the crank would be what at the ground? What is the approximate drive train loss?
Same question (in reverse) regarding torque. 318lb ft at the ground is what at the crank?
15-18% typically
So, 315HP at the crank is approximately 260 at the tires. The street stalker package gained them 47HP. Seems a bit high for a CAI and headers. No mention as to the rest of the exhaust. Headers flowing thru stock exhaust could actually cause a loss in power. More exhaust coming out of the engine but no place to go. Need more info. Pricing would be nice too.
