yeah, turbo is easier on the drivetrain usually

 

well then thats what im gonna go for because i want the power and not do as much wear and tear on thedrivetrain parts

 

A few points.

1. Look at the facts. The fastest and most powerful 4.8 was a turbo'd one

2. Turbos are not that much easier on the drivetrain. From my experiance (2-4l60e, 1-4l80e, 1-torque converter, 2-u joints, and 2- eatons) turbos are hard on the drivetrain. They hit very hard and it is then when stuff breaks. Obviosly if you take it easy and dont put a **** load of power throught them they will last longer.

3. Turbos are easily upgraded and they are a hell of a lot of fun.

I say spool the biatch

 

I'm in the same spot as you. I've got a 4.8L and I just wanna be able to beat stock GTs and maybe Camaros. Or atleast come close. So would STS or front mount be the way to go?
