Default Recommendations on a turbo kit.

What fuel system, cam, and turbo kit would you guys recommend for a 5.3? I'm saving money and I've made my decision to go forced induction. I want to make 450-550 rwhp.
Thanks in advance guys.

320LPH pump or maybe bigger, 60lb injectors at least.

KB or Trick turbo for easy install with minimal issues. On3 kits work too, just know it's not as well built but that doesn't stop people from using them.

Or you can buy a turbo manifold and turbo then make your own cross over and downpipe.

Your current camshaft should make that power just fine.

Do some reading and research on all these things, tons and tons of threads on the topic.

I'm currently installing a trick kit, quality product for sure. Had an issue with one item on Sunday, the guy got to work on a new one that day and shipped it the very next day. Pretty hard to beat that kind of customer service.
