Geeez, who peed in your corn flakes today? Give the newbie a break!

ah, i've been more of a dick than that before, just giving him a hard time. i was going to post more info, but ran out of time (customer came to the counter). i know nelson has performed the previous generation truck to gen III small block swaps and there may be some information available there. i agree with blownchevy on using the truck accesories although i would check into the guys that have used the car intake on trucks if you decide to go with a centrifugal instead of a radix or whipple. going with a radix will allow you to use considerably less stall which is good since you'll likely have to buy a new converter and trans. (i believe there are adapters to make an old style 4L60E bolt up though). did you get the engine with the exhaust manifolds also?

Z06 truck,
I loved my Radix on my SS, but it comes to a point that the Radix can only create so much HP.
I would suggest a Procharger or STS Turbo kit if you want to see 11's in your truck....
Good luck...

Im not trying to start anything and I dont have personal experience with either but from what ive read and heard Prochargers arent sh*t!!! I have a buddy with a Silverado SS and he has a Procharger so he can run a sh*tload of boost. If I were to get a SC I would get the Radix because of the reviews but dont most of the pro drag guys use Prochargers? Still if you have a LS6 your on the right track! Right guys? If I were you I would check out some of the vette sites and od some research!
