Default '89 Chevy C1500 6.0 turbo build
I know I just got done doing the 6.0 build in this truck but after getting a ride in my brothers turbo 4.8 I just couldn't resist!! I sold the engine and trans out of it and now have most of the money to do the 5.3 and turbo build.

Mod list:
-'03 6.0L LQ4
-'99 4L80e with HD-2 shift kit and stock 2200 stall
-10 bolt rear with Detroit TruTrac and 4.10's
-Turbonetics 76mm with .96 A/R turbo
-Home grown forward facing stock mainfold turbo kit
-Bed mounted fuel cell with in-line Bosch 044 pump and 95# injectors

I also got me "eBay" BOV in the mail yesterday, I'm actually impressed for $75, although I did order a black one and this one is really dark green:

FIC 1000cc injectors, they flow 95lb @ 3 bar (43.5psi), 108lb @ 4 bar (58psi)... I just told him I wanted 80# injectors and he told me to reach my goal of 700rwhp on E85 I would need at least 95lb injectors so he sent me these LOL:

High Performance New Fuel Injectors - New Bosch - FIC FLOW MAX BOSCH , LS3, LS7, LS8, LS9 95LB FUEL INJECTOR - Fuel Injector Connection
