Default 5.3 turbo kit options

What some options for my 2000 Silverado? I have a 5.3, what are some kits that are out there? Am I better off building one? I have access to turbo fabricators that build rvw and pro mod cars, I just want to make somewhere around 500hp, I probly would do 243 heads, a cam, a stall, and gears, want to change intakes prolly to a tbss intake or something, but I just want to know some options, not sure if I want to do a turbo or build a h/c/i lq4 with some nitrous just kinda torn at the moment

you have On3, spike, Kb racing, Trick and a few other private parties

you get what you pay for with some of them

Ive personally dealt with KBracing before i started building setups and If i was to be incapable of doing my own work Id go with KBracing

i like his as they are heavy wall material and made in USA

others are pure chinese

some are casted out of country but is an appealing product


look in classifieds youll bound to find a used setup

If you wanted to save money, you could hit 500hp without even touching the motor and just slapping the turbo kit on there. Thats just an option.
