    I'd go with a new sierra or Silverado with the 6.2 and throw a Maggie, exhaust and small spec'd blower cam on that. That would be good for an very conservative 600 wheel HP.

    You have to get the LTZ to get bigger motor. Don't want a LTZ. Way to much chrome

    I'd get the LTZ for sure for the cooled seats, but get z71 appearance package which deletes all the chrome.

    octane rating has nothing to do with fuel mileage
