But it's ok, you don't have to agree with me. I know what it takes to go fast and have lots of friends with FAST cars so my opinions may differ from others. We're still friends wether we agree or not. :p
Turbo fan or not you're gonna like my new setup. Lets just say it's not an STS combo.

Of course we can disagree, its all good bro, I honestly think if we spent more time hammering out the details of proper suspension set up for a specified application it would be more common knowledge.
I've heard you talk about it vagely a few times, things like 90/10 shocks, weight transfer, yada yada yada.
in any case, he's got the whipple already, I would try and make that work.

That's correct. The Livernoise kit should have VERY LITTLE lag at all. My 5.3L GT35 combo barely had any lag. I was at FULL boost at 3200rpm and would make boost as soon as I floored it. Only problem there is that in 2wd I would mash it at 30mph and the truck would just kick sideways and HAZE the tires till I lifted. LOL The GT67 was much better for ET/MPH but it couldn't have them at 30mph like the GT35 could.

I run 1.50 60ft's with leafs cal-tracs and 235/60's. Don't need all of that stuff for the street. BTW a intercooled Whipple would be cool.
Probibly wish you had bought a Radix now huh.

I think an intercooled Whipple would be very cool, and I would bet it would put down much better numbers than an intercooled Radix- but at a much higher cost.

My Z71 in 2wd would need more done to the suspension than the S10 to hook properly with its stiff 1/2 ton rear suspension.

This is the question about the LMS kit, will the gt-35 fall off above a certain RPM? and then the upgraded turbo is mandiatory??? That front mount is sweet, the turbo selection is the problem I see, but Rick(Ithink )has reassured and offered a drive to check out the caddy to answer my questions about the turbo selection...

I believe the LMS kit uses a GT37 turbo. Depending on the use the turbo may end up too small but until we see some dyno sheets for the Escalade or some other 6.0L I can't know. I'm not good at reading compressor maps yet but if you can find a map for a GT37 then we can compare because I know where to find the charts for the 6.0L. 
I think the GT37 is close to a GT67 isn't it?

Pressure ratio (LQ9) 1.3 to 1.7
adjusted air flow @ 10psi 57
@5psi 46.
Finde the intersection on the map w/those two numbers...it should be in the middle of the island, I think...
