These 4.8's are stout. We put them in lots of stuff and pound the hell out of them. The first motor is free with the truck so why not test it.
I don't see where you are getting 5-8k for a turbo kit, we've done them for less than 1000 bucks although they arent gonna win you a car show (minus injectors, pump(s), tuning)
I run a 260 dollar chinese turbo on my truck, check my sig for times.
I believe his times and that he runs a stock motor. **** my friend made 640rwhp with a stock 4.8 turbo + zr1 cam and spray in his fairmont. I pulled that motor out of the junkyard it looked like hell on the outside.

Turbo
blow off valve
piping for turbo
custom built headers- guess $1,000- 1,500
custom grind turbo cams $700-1000
injectors- $400-500
upgraded fuel lines, hat, rails and pumps, filter $1,500-2,000
new stall- $1,000-1,200
new exhaust or pipe into my setup
custom tune $500+
i might be off alittle on some prices but most are correct

Seems like you could reuse your current injectors, fuel system, and stall, and probably the cams on a turbo build. The only new thing you would need is the turbo and pipes, and you could recover a lot of that cost by selling your blower...

Vary nice times man! This gos to show what can really be done when the right parts are put together, and some vary good tuning aswell. I think most people give up and move on to something bigger before ever finding out what it can really do. If I remeber right you started out with mid lower 11s and now 10.3s with nothing more then a turbo swap done to the engine.
