To straight up sell the kit I would want like $6000, which is well below what I have invested in it.
I am just at a crossroads with what to do with the truck. I figured I would have better luck kind of piecing it apart than selling the whole truck as one. I am just bored with how the truck is now...I want to be able to drive it more on the street and be more streetable. I would rather have 600hp of fun street power than 1100rwhp of strip power.
I know this engine will take 25psi of boost all day, so it should live forever with the 7 or 8 a tvs1900 would make. I wouldnt be against a 2300 or decent sized whipple, but those are harder to find and dont go up for sale very often.
Last night I posted originally I thought about trading the engine for the blower, but I changed it this morning to wanting to trade the turbo stuff for the blower, so thats where his question came in.

This is what happens when ***** broken and the truck is down...start thinking well transmission is broke so I may as well while it's down do this or that. Drink you a few beers and come back to reality.Is there not a way to make the current setup more streetable? Smaller turbo? Less cubes?

Well let me rephrase a little, I am more just bored with what it is right now. Yea its fast, and mostly streetable, its just kind of boring. For me to go faster I would need to upgrade the turbo, and I feel like if I do that I will probably be chasing my tail lifting heads. I really dont want to spend $20k on a 6bolt block and heads for a couple hundred more horsepower.
I have lofty ambitious involving big twins and 500+ cubic inches, but I am not sure if I want to do that to this truck or at all really.
If I can find a blower cheap enough I wouldnt mind trying a compound kit. I think I would like the challenge.
