Turbo my Avalanche?
Thinking of doing the Trick kit,add an intercooler,meth and see how long 10-14lbs of boost lasts
Then of course the tranny will get built with a converter,clutches,shift kit ect.
Wonder if I can get this pig into the 12's with the 5.3l

The high boost will be for fun.Wife will get 6-8lbs and towing will get 4-5. It will be tuned SD 2 bar of course to cope with different boost levels.

FINALLY!!! 
Turn it up to a max of 10 I would suggest, you won't recognize your truck.
Also I'm certain a 5.3 with 14 lbs of boost is gonna live alot shorter in a truck then it would in a vette. Just the whole weight thing. Heavier truck means bigger load which means more boost faster and more stress on the engine.
But if your gonna do that talk to some of the Florida Avalanche guys, they are rocking 14 psi on their DD's.
