Default Want to go FI?

I have a 2000 5.3 daily driver and I am wanting to go with a turbo kit. I, of course, want it to still be a very dependable daily driver. I am about to get rid of a 98 Camaro and solid roller 408, so I am not new to the power scene...just new to the FI side.

Put the 408 in your truck. Thats what I would do. The sts, livernois kits are good and you will make awsome power with both.

The 408 is gone now but was in full race form. It wouldn't have made a good DD..especially with it being solid roller. That thought had crossed my mind.
