I have a 02 tahoe Z71 5.3l and im planning on buying the 67mm turbo kit here

My question is if i get this setup will I have to upgrade anything on my car and if so what upgrade? I just need to know what parts I need to make it run fast and good with this turbo setup. Any help would be helpful.

 

drive train upgrades, exhaust update (think about a downtube cut-out for track day), gauges, tune

Looks like a fairly complete kit, ow.

 

Plan on a tranny and good rear.....

 

So pretty much all I need is like a shift kit, maybe a corv servro. Then get a custom tune from nelson or wester. Then get exhaust.


Do I have to replace the cam, lifters,pushrods, etc.?

I am hoping my tranny stays together for awhile but when it fails im going to do a 4L80E swap.

 

The motor should be fine. The tranny is the weak spot of these trucks it will last with a kit, depending on your driving habits.I think that livernois gives ya a tune with the kit..

 

Do you think a trans go shift kit, a corvette servo, and a tq converter(dunno what stall to get) would save the transmission for awhile.

 

That all I have in my trans, running 7lbs (sometimes 10 ) on a 4.8. So far, its lasted about 15,000 miles

 

what kind of stall do you have?

 

I have a DAACO remaned Trailblazer stall. I love it, just right for my setup and goals. Stalls to about 3000 and 6 lbs of boost when brake stalling it, and about 2200 w/out boosting on the street. Plus I can still tow just fine. And it was cheep
