i guess my 4.8 turbo might be ok if i can ever get that damn ic in keep pushing it lat me know how much boost i can run. are you still gona sell me those injectors. i can't wait to get my turbo on. do you think a goal of 400rwhp daily driven is a good safe goal for a stock 4.8.

i will get a pump gas hp when i goto the dyno. i bet it is close to 400rwhp with the cut out open. your right about the intercooler, it makes a huge diference.

Nice times Parish. I knew this was going to happen. I do all this stuff to the 4.8, preach the 4.8 and everyone says that i am crazy. But now that Parish dows a 4.8 everyone is talking about how great these motors are. Damb it must be nice to be Parish.

Parish, your tests helped me once again to understand why I picked the motor I am going with. Guess what the 4.8 motor is? Its a long rod, short stroke motor. I am sure you can push this motor just as hard as your 6.0 motor. The reason being is this motor puts less wear and tear on your crank, your pistons and your bearings. So how much more money do you need to get you on the dyno? I just might be willing to sponsor this test.
