Default turbo for 4.8

what kinda boost and power can i get out of my 4.8 with stock bottom end?

and what turbo setup should i look into?

i really dont care for the sts. seems as if it would be cheaper building or buying a kit that fit in the engine bay...

Check out kbracing96. He's hit low 500's at the wheels with his 4.8. He's also a site sponsor and selling hot parts kits for the trucks.

Depends on what you want. Autos will be faster at the track, but if you like driving stick then it might be better for you.

Don't do a turbo 4.8 crew cab with a T56. Been there, have the t-shirt.
