You dont have to have a cam unless u just want the extra bump
And the tune wont be "mild"
If built right it will be very reliable... What all turbo, kit, wg injectors u thinkin bout

I'm thinking about the KB racing or Trick performance turbo kit with IC. I haven't researched injector brand yet but from what I've gathered I believe I should go with 60# injectors. Fuel pump I'm still not sure yet either what I will need.. if a cam isn't required I'd like to keep it that way for now since it's a DD. Exhaust, it sounds like I need someone to build me a custom 3". I don't know whether or not if I have to delete cats or what goes on there. And I don't want an extremely loud truck so I have to figure out what muffler will work. I do have a guy that can build the 4l60e to withstand the power. I'm not sure what I should get for a torque converter though. This is all so confusing at first haha

Have you looked at on3 performance? They suppose to be pretty cheap... And ya i dont see how you wouldmake cats work and still make decent power??? And you can use a flo thru style muffler and the turbo itsself makes it a lil quieter than just a straight pipe..

I just called Trick performance about their kit and also asked them if they recommended any injectors.. they said 60lb injectors would run about $650. This is the same price I am seeing a lot of places. Anything cheaper out there?

What do you guys recommend for a torque converter with the stock cam on the 4l60e? Do I need anything special? Im going to ask my transmission guy too but Im not sure what to look for.

are those gt500 injectors plug and play or do they need new pig tails and or injector spacers. im about at 5 psi with stock ls3 injectors at about 60% duty cycle but they required spacers because they are shorter in length. ive herd that ls9 injectors will work for the range in power youre after but i believe they are short like the ls3 injectors
