That little 4.8 loves converters. Get a TT3000. Yank is a good DD verter. This will all but get rid of that weak area low in the rpm range. You'll need tires for the track tho.

that was my original plan, well atleast a single turbo anyways! I just dont know to much about them. Since i was about 13 years old i wanted a black single cab chevy truck with a big V8 and Turbo'd, well i have the truck now and im just trying to get all the supporting mods for it.
I know ill still need a tranny and stall, also a good cam and tuning.

TB spacer!

converter/cam, but if you want what you have wanted since you have been 13, start saving for a 6.0L/turbo or a bigger motor.

Do the 6L swap 1st. Then get the cam/converter/turbo etc...to match that. You will get a 6L later anyway and have to swap everything. Start with the engine swap.
