I'm running a used tvs1900 and wish I would have started with it. Very happy with it. Daily it around town, draging camping trailer with loaded bed, or road trips never a concern with its relialibility. Gobs of instant torque and crazy easy install.

From my experience with my kit versus what I've read about the LSA setups you can do it 2 ways. You're going to pay more for a complete kit with everything you need to slap it on and run but if you're patient and a good bargain hunter you can definitely save money buying used. It comes down to which way you want to play it.

It will probably be pieced together as I get money. Currently getting parts together for a 80e swap but next will be supercharger. I'm sure theres parts lists here I can look up. Y'all are lots of help thanks alot. Only reason I'm pretty set on blower is i think it may be easier to tune and would be tighter for s10 swap when it gets done in this truck. I already run 93oct. Would I need meth with the LSA blower? Or would that be only if I go over a certain lbs of boost?

But first want to get my feet wet with something more simple to tune myself. Would like to see between 5-600hp if that's not to crazy to be reliable on the street. Any advice or help would be very helpful. Cam, springs, turbo or blower size/brand/type. Thanks alot for the advice and letting me join your group.
I think turbo makes an excellent daily driver. When you're not in boost, it'll drive just like stock. KB Racing can hook you up with an excellent turbo kit for a Silverado. I also have an ON3 turbo kit that I just took off of my truck since I just bought a KB Racing kit. I would sell the ON3 kit to you for a good price if you are interested.

Iv been looking at the cx racing set up myself. Keep reading lots of bad things about on3. What did you think about the quality of there kit? And what size turbo are you running?

The KB kit definitely blows it out of the water. The hotside of the ON3 seems to be pretty good and its stainless, but the cold side feels really cheap. It worked fine on my truck, no issues or anything, but it is a budget kit. I will say that the On3 intercooler seems to be good quality and my IATs with the On3 kit were low 90* in hot Oklahoma weather.

The ON3 turbo that I have is a 76mm, but the turbo I'm about to run with the KB kit is a Borg Warner S475.
