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

 

10-14 is goin to kill that poor little 60E..
not too sure if that much boost is good to a DD 5.3....??

 

Go for it....12's easy

 

My Vette is still running 14lbs on the stock motor =3 years now
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.

 

Cool... well never mind then...
I guess its time for me to turn the boost up??

 

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.

 

I have a new 6.0 block sitting here

14lbs with alot of Meth is doable.It'a all in the tune.

 

throw the forged 4.8 in and then make some real power

 

is the pope catholic?

 

This is how I look at it. Stock motors are boring, the only way to make them fun is find the coolest why to blow them up.
