im thinking of starting a new project, basically i wanna turn a 03-06 single cab short bed into a 11's truck that looks like a ext cab SS. i do not wanna run nitrous, so im thinking eather supercharged or turbo? im not sure on what motor to run? eather stick with the 5.3 or get a 6.0 or somthing? i want to use it a a daily driver so want it to have decent street mannors, thanks guys for the help, any other info needed that i missed just ask, thanks agian

 

TURBO!! i think there is quite a few people with single cab V8s in the 11s. search around in forced induction and read their sigs.

 

ya, i was thinking of running a trick turbo, or a procharger or something? what motor should i run tho? and also need a cam ect...? any ideas? whats the pros and cons of a turbo over a sc when your looking for reliabulity, and times??? thanks guys

 

im thinking of eather a lq4 or 5.3? any pros and cons????

 

What are your power goals and how much you got in the piggy bank

 

That's the real question.

 

Well first off i gotta get the truck first, its gunna be a single cab prob 03 shortbed, im waiting for my gf to get done with school in december then ill be able to build a project, i wanna go the more reliable set up for the money, i know it will take time and money so im optamistic about both and have patcients, but i wanna build a floor plan so that i can run with it once i get the funds but i want a daily driven truck that can hit 11's but that i can take on trips and stuff with out enilating my wallet on gas/maintance costs? i do not wanna run nitrious so i figure eather turbo or sc, and idk as fat as power wise? whatever it takes to hit mid 11's? maybe more? idk haha

 

The way I see it if you wanna have a solid foundation get a 6.0. Starting with a bigger cube, higher power output motor is gonna make it easier to get where you wanna be. S/C vs. Turbo, can't really tell you from an efficiency standpoint... a lot of it is personal preference and the bang for your buck factor as you see fit. I don't think a cam is completely necessary, but I'm sure others who have more experience with FI can tell you more about your choices and what is or isn't recommended there.

 

ya i agree with ya there, im thinking eather a lq4 or lq9? idk much about eather just there 6.0's and power ratings lol but i think that would be a good motor?

 

Lq4 custom turbo cam on a pt 88 should get you there
