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!

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.
