Default My Truck Is To Slow...

Hey guys whats up.

I have a 2007 4.8l silverado, and its well its to slow and can't really pull much, and im looking to get some more power but don't know where to start. im sure most of you have upgraded your trucks and know what the do's and don'ts are.

I currently have a Exhaust but stock headers.


My budget is 8k.

Please give me words of advice :p

Welcome to the forum! Good job on giving a budget

Stock 80e with a shift kit, 70mm front mount turbo, cam, valve springs, fuel pump, injectors, and nice LSD for the rear. Should be fun and well within your budget!

Or actually, if you are looking to tow or just a more fun DD, look for a used tvs1900 in the classifieds instead of a turbo. I like the roots blowers much better for DDs. Everything else still applies though and this way you can keep your exhaust.
