My biggest concern is that my engine should make 550-600hp all motor and I want to push it hard with a turbo setup. Will the tubing be big enough to support the air flow that I need? In all honestly I would like to see 15psi on this engine. According to the calculations I've done. It needs to be able to flow 140 lbs of air and should support 1350hp but thats if my calculations are right.

I thought this would be perfect for you and pullen. Those pimped out 70 trucks woun't know what hit them.

If you were a close to KC I would have sent you a PM saying you get a 6.0 kit and I would make it work for you. There's not that much differnce from the 6.0 kit. The three main things are the turbo size, the throttle body differnt position, and feed for the oil. Thats about it and none are a big deal they can easily be delt with.

Tierod, there are no FI street classes for pulling, unless your a diesel. Beside, any step up to mod classes calls major saftey equiment. engine shields, kill switch, cage, fire suit, fire control(sometimes). Not ideal for street driven truck!! But my big concern is the allison trans with a max rated input rpm of only 5000 rpm, Have been asking this why and what lets go. But nobody can give a straight answer. And all of the people I have talk said it not a good idea to run over 5000 rpm on the allison trans. sent DTT an email with this question let you know what they say. But this is why I am considering a 4l80e swap, which will put a damper on some other things.

Tbyrne: So I take you will also offer a bottem end upgrade, when I and other people get greedy with boost(sending the pistons to an early grave), All at a rock bottom pricing!! Please, I ask nicely.
Visionxorb: I have only stuck in $980 into performance, just keep a sharp eye out for good deals and free stuff that people don't want. That includes cam, cat back exhaust, pcm tune, front locker, and Air intake.

8100hammer: I expect people to start getting greedy and ending up with empy holes in their blocks so I'm looking into various bottom end upgrades now. You'll done very good with the "budget mods". Damn good!
