Default Trying to make my truck fast

Hello I have a 2007 Chevy Silverado z71 with the 5.3l and I am trying to decide if I want to put a turbo on my truck or twin turbos. I have put a k&n cold air intake and flowmaster 40 series exhaust on my truck and I have been looking at trubos recently.
Has anyone ever heard of. Racemmi twin turbo kit. I found the kit on eBay and it says its a complete kit for 2,200$. So I just wanted to know if I could trust this brand or not.
Also I am wondering if it is worth it to put turbos or what is the best way to get more horsepower without breaking the bank?

Nitrous cheapest horsepower per dollar.

Twins are awsome but really are not needed with a well built single setup. Where u located?

I'm in Athens TX and yeah I know a single can be as good as 2 but I found these 2 for a pretty good deal I think but I haven't ever heard of Racemmi so I don't know if it's worth it or not?

This isnt 100% true but does hold water for small shots


Hang around ppl spraying 350-500 on single or dual kits and youll rethink being cheap


Twins have alot advantages over a single but also goes back to how much power does OP wants

Sounds like a cheap china turbo setup that will end in tears.


I'd go single turbo from a more well known brand or build your own setup if you want too. Also prepare your wallet for all the nickel and dime stuff. Mainly a new transmission when you blow up your fragile 4L60e.

I had to LOL at this one. It is true.

True story. I'm having to replace my transmission now without even putting boost on it. It's expensive.
