BTR 5.3 RED HOT 530HP POWER PACKAGE

BTR 5.3L Red Hot 530HP Power Package   

The BTR 5.3L Red Hot 530HP Power Package is for enthusiasts who believe the best part of the tach is near the top. Taking another step beyond the Hot Rod combination, Red Hot is built around a more aggressive, higher-RPM powerband that lets the 5.3L keep pulling long after most street combinations are ready for the next gear. 

The Red Hot combination produces 530.9 horsepower at 7,650 RPM and 410.1 lb-ft of torque at 5,950 RPM. With peak horsepower arriving well north of 7,000 RPM, this package rewards an engine that's built to rev and a driver who's willing to use every bit of it.  That makes Red Hot a natural fit for lightweight street cars, hot rods, pro-touring builds, and street/strip combinations where top-end horsepower is a bigger priority than low-RPM manners. It's still a combination you can enjoy on the street, but its personality becomes pretty obvious when the tach starts climbing, and the engine gets into the meat of the powerband. 

If the Hot Rod Power Package is the next step for the enthusiast who wants to lean harder into horsepower, Red Hot is for the person who wants to keep their foot in it and let the 5.3L sing. More RPM, more horsepower, and a more aggressive personality move this package another step closer to an all-out performance combination.
