Going with a custom twin turbo setup, currently gathering parts (fmic, manifolds, flanges, efans, piping, etc.). Been trying to do some research on common mods. I've seen the writeups showing what it takes to do the ls6 style intake swap, though I'm still a bit fuzzy on throttle body compatibility since I have DBW.

Anyway, it's unclear whether I should do a cam/intake swap, or just leave it alone and run the turbos on the stock motor. I've read the z06 cam/springs are a popular setup, as well as the ls6 intake swap.

I dont mind doing the work and putting the money into the truck (look at my sig) but I hate doing mods that have little to no real world benefit. IS this **** really worth fooling with, or should I just leave my stock cam and truck intake in place and be happy with the 6-10psi I plan to run on the turbos?

Truck is a daily driver and must remain smooth and tame, though I have no problem with a little bit of a lope at idle as long as idle is strong. I'm not looking to rev to 6700rpm either, but 6000 with a strong top end would be nice. I know it falls off above 4800 or so right now.

Throw me some opinions people. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I know this is in the wrong section. I thought I was posting in forced induction. That's what I get for posting late at night.

 

I'd do the springs. Then a tranny upgrade and a converter.

The cam and intake depend more on how much power you want.
