Update: In light of Covid I guess I'm likely going to keep it light this year. I make most all my $$ in the Spring and Summer and I think it's likely that it won't be a great year even with me being an essential business in Texas. I think that's a given. Rick says my twins should be ready in ~ 4 weeks. Supplies have slowed somewhat I am thinking. So with this in mind and being too conservative to bust my *** financially at this age I am going to do LT4 fuel and DSX low side with E85 and the twins. Keep the short block stock @ probably 10lbs boost so it will live and I can enjoy life. If this is the case I will not mod my 5.3 just wait until next season and do 376-416. My thoughts are no reason to sink 5-6 k in the 5.3 when I can double that later and move up. I may just have to live with less for now. Patience can be a virtue to get what you really want. Time will tell.

Smart move brother. I'd do the same thing, wait until this is past us and turn it on up...

A new pic today of the driver side manifold mounted on Mr. Trick Turbo's '18. He's tweaking it a bit more for perfect fitment. Rick is so meticulous but that's why he's so trusted right?

I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread, I've been battling the "maybe I should go turbo..." thought. Decided if I was going to do it, it would need to be twins. I'm scared to send Trick a message to find out if this fits my budget!

This is gonna be awesome, keep us posted!
