i think you need a front mount turbo kit for it....








j/k man. id say tune it, then maybe a cai but get a replacement muffler or maybe a catback and headers/ypipe, stall, gears, efans, ud pulleys

some of those might not be cheap, but that is most of the boltons

i should put the 408/4L80e/turbo in it huh? then put the 5.3/4L60e in the crew cab and sell it.

I am SERIOSLY thinking about this as an option. no idea how much that would cost though. probably like $10,000 in labor, lol
