Yea I agree. I would prob go the T70 and start out with the stock converter just to see what it does. I'd keep the stock cam and just install the Zo6 springs.

list of parts needed and im sure i left some out

- Turbo kit
- 42lb injectors
- 1 or 2 255lph pumps
- stall converter
- tune

feel free to add anything else needed. slowec said he bought his turbo for $1800
Just gimme the truck and 10k and he can have mine. driving to work sideways is costing me to much gas anyhow

i think all he really wants is turbo, fuel system, stall and tune. i told him that tranny wouldnt hold up, but he said he would fix it when it broke.

got a question since im in here already. i was at SGMP yesterday for the pony wars and there was a black rado, seemed to be turbo'd and trailer said Renegade Racing who was that. somebody said truck lifted a head. i never got to see the truck run, but looked nice. it had bogarts front and rear.

PM kbracing96 and he will hook him up. Complete intercooled kit under 3500. Get a drop in walbro already in the bucket from racetronix for 225 , stall from circle d for 400. make sure he does a shify kit and servo to the trans atleast. As for the tune, NOBODY I know around here, thats why I am stuck doing my own. If he needs it installed , PM me.

will do. you might have heard his name he helps some guy with a 6.0/spray s10 and he has had several built rados with spray. his name is brent jacobs and lives in hoboken Ga. I know eric brooks has tuned a few rados around here. he tuned some 6.0 truck from baxley or hazelhurst that ran like 8.0s on motor. eric is more into fords and especially mustangs. He just tuned my buddy eric waters twin turbo 03 cobra and yesterday on 13lbs boost it went 6.0 1/8th and 9.40 1/4 at 147mph
