No sense in buying a turbo kit if your not going to be able to enjoy at least half of it's potential. If you only wanted to add 100hp, cam and supporting mods would get you there and not touch your fuel system. But I would skip all that stuff too and go turbo.Wish I would have never spent the money on the lq9-t56 and kept my 4.8 and added boost.

I'm on stock flex pump and inj and maxed out injectors at 8 psi. My tuner NEW ERA PERFORMACE stands behind these pumps. I plan on keeping it to reach my 500 wheel goal. Injectors will have to be bought though
I have a Bone stock truck besides the kit and tune

Now we're talkin!
I suppose when we go to tune the truck we will find out the limits of the fuel system and take it down a notch from there.
still saving for the turbo kit though! its gotta be on before the race season. and its gotta be a quicker truck than my 14.0 Colorado rcsb inline 5 lol. goal this summer is 13.0 in the Sierra.

I would disagree. My truck has the stock cam and stock exhaust with turbo kit, boost controller, methanol injection, and it will stomp the guts out of any head and cam combo. It still drives like stock too, no bucking or surging or smelly exhaust. You can make a stock truck run pretty hard with a turbo kit and basically everything else stock, Makes for a great daily driver without sacrificing anyhting in drive ability.
