$3300 turbo? Double that.....

 

Buy my KB front mount kit that's in the for sale section and add a nice Magnum T70, tune, some low cost Glopro gauges and I would bet he'd be pretty close to the $3300 as an entry fee...you know until the boost addiction hits.

 

You do have DOD and vvt only the 4.8s and 6.2s in the trucks don't have DOD. So yes for a cam swap you would have to swap the DOD lifters out. Idk bought a front mount but a rear mount turbo setup can be done for that price and done nice. A front mount can be done also but with used parts sourced out. There are plenty of kits that sell for that price range.

 

So yall are saying its impossible to go forced induction for less than 4000? We already have a boost and a wideband afr gauge, the trucks pump should be able to handle what were going to push, just picked up a set of 60lb injectors from a buddy for 150 bucks, the turbo kit is 3300, and a retune is less than a 100? Hmmm thats around 3600, we dont really have to worry about the tranny anytime soon because were not gonna push enough to get into the 6l80s breaking point. Anything wrong with my plan that yall can think of or can it still not be done for "3300 turbo?? double that...."

 

under $4,000? IDK man intercooled? not saying u can but seems hard to belive,

 

You originally said you could do a turbo for the same price as swapping in a different cam and DOD delete. If you pay close to 4k for a cam and DOD delete you are getting ripped LOL

 

yes sir, you can get the trick intercooled stage 3 kit for 3300 bucks with everything you needing but fueling, tuning, and gauges. Weve got a boost and wideband gauge, the flexfuel pump should handle all the boost were gonna put to it, just picked up a set of 60lb injectors for 150, and since the truck is already tuned its under a 100 to get it retuned. I cant think of anything else we would need for 6psi?
Sorry, i meant to say that you could almost do a turbo setup for the price cam swap. Cause the truck is stock minus a tune, to do it the right way we would need headers, full exhaust, intake, dod delete swap and a cam, + the retune.
For what a 50-80 horse gain, compared to 150? It only costs a little bit more to go first class

 

i stand corrected then, my 2011 4.8 is VVT, and i did an ls9 cam swap on a 2011 6.2 and it was VVT, so I assumed they all were VVT not DOD.

 

I didn't see anywhere in your OP that said you already had gauges, injectors, and tuning covered, and weren't needed to be included in your budget. In fact, you asked if the stock pump & injectors could handle 6 or so psi, and that made me think you haven't done any research on the subject yet.

Then you come back with "we already have all this other stuff here..."

Sounds to me like you already have it all figured out. Good luck with the build.

 

With what you say you have, yes it can be done for under 4K. Can't think of anything else you need that you don't already have except for KB or Tricks stage 3 kit for the amount of boost you are wanting to run.
