Default Too much HP for a truck to get traction ???

( 1 )how about a 5.3L with 2 t3/t4 hybrid turbos,alkaline water injection,ls1 edit,throtthe body spacer,hot wires/spark set, stock internals,elec. fans,intake, custom exhaust,corvette servo,shift kit,torque converter, and a 4200+ stall converter how much hp do you think that would pull?
( 2 )we relocated the battery to the trunk, do you think that would be enough traction in the back or do you think it would spin so bad that we would need to relocate the fuel tank to the back of the tailbed for enough weight displacement not to spin badly like origionally planned ???? any comments or suggestions would be helpfull AND IF UR GONNA SAY ITS TRICKY TO GET THE FUEL TANK IN THE BED WE ALREADY KNOW!!! lol <img border="0" alt="[shoot]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

But nowhere did I see the stage 3 tranny that will be needed?

Or get rid of the spare tire and mount a fuel tank back there, like the older Blazers & Suburbans had. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

You could put one of those right in front of the tailgate to help transfer some weight.
