Well I have an 02 Z71 Tahoe and an 00 WS-6. The TA is about to get a new engine. I was thinking about putting the LS1 in the hoe and doing a manifold turbo kit. The ls1 has LS6 intake manifold and good springs, retainers and hardned PRs. I will be upgrading from a T70 to an 88 on my TA so The turbo I already have. The main reason is my tahoe has 111,000mi now and my TA only has 65k. Nothing crazy just some LQ9 heads to lower the compression a bit and a Torqer cam or some thing. What do you guys think? Should I do it? Any advice? The hoe is to tow my TA around.

LOL don't lie, nobody convinced you. You knew you were going to do it anyway...



Sounds like a sweet setup though! Be sure to keep us updated on your progress.

everyone always knows what they want to do and are going to do what they want to do before they even come here to post and ask or tell, they just need a little support or encouragement!
