so... my 3000 stall and my 4.10 gears.. are a nono?... this sucks.

 

Nah, that combo will work just fine.

 

reeehhheeeeehhheeeeeeaaaallllllyyyyyy?????... cool. i'm there.

 

So, the 180HP increase is with the smallest turbo, or the upgrade turbo. The price seems a bit better that going with a radix.

 

the install at CM is like 1300 i think...

 

The standard turbo gives the same amount of power, and slightly higher boost like 9 lbs, and will give you 500 hp at the crank, the upgraded turbos run at 7 to 8lbs of boost, but can support much more air for the future, but with the trade off of larger turbo lag on a 5.3 or 4.8. They are going to go 6.0 with forged internals for there master piece, and run the largest turbo, and are looking into a 700hp at the rear tires truck. The truck I rode in had the largest turbo, a pretty good amount of lag, and about 7.5lbs of boost from watching the boost gauge, but still, damn, it smoked!

They do charge like 1300 for install! Wow!

 

i am prety sure seth's truck has a t72 on it, they will go all the way up to a T76 if thats what you want, i have a T76 kit coming, i would rather have a T88 but what can you do

 

what would be the aprox gains on a 4.8 with the smallest turbo and a flowmaster exhaust.

 

150+hp....

 

Nice report Hodgee. That sounds like a sweet setup. Tell you what, a little bit of lag to 2500 rpm may not be a bad thing. It will help you hook up. A ton of torque down low can = traction problems. Turbos like less gear, and I think 3.42-3.73 will be ideal. Parish, it looks like you are going to have one nasty truck.
