look on Texas Speed...read up on the LS3 427...it can be sprayed or boosted. not very much boost though so i feel its not worth it. nitrous can only go up to a 125-150 i cant recall. but its a 9,000 motor

Well you have to consider that going from a 2wd to awd/4wd setup is going to require essentially the entire front suspension from a truck that already had awd/4wd. The control arms and the spindles would be different, you would need left and right axles, it may even be a different frame. Im still doing research on this matter, but it definitely requires more than what was listed in the other members post

?????

You know if all those extra parts are needed denali-08?

Ill probably just stick to a supercharger.
A 6.2 with a tvs1900 sounds more fun than a 427

What do you guys think about the paxton superchargers? My buddys brother is selling his, i think its the Novi 1200, that he has in his 5.3 Avalanche. Hes been saying he wants to get a 6.2 CC silverado and I guess he finally gave in. I know first hand hes pretty much babied it. So what do you guys think about 6.2 paxton supercharged?

Ohh btw does the tranny crossmember I have right now work on the AWD tranny? I know the 2WD 6L80 crossmember was different but idk about the AWD one?

i dont care for it imo. i dont like the thought of something bolted onto the side of my PS pump an HOPE it doesnt break. id rather a 112/TVS1900/2300/front mount turbo. but ive never used one, installed one, or heard of its supports breaking. so its up to you

The only reason im considering it is because hes my buddy so hes giving it to me for a great deal. But i dont like the way the whole kits so bulky and leaves you without any more room under the hood. But I also wouldnt mind a couple extra ponnies from a supercharger. So idk.

Anyone know if the tranny crossmember I have right now would work for the AWD tranny? I know the 2WD 6L80 is different but idk about the AWD.

I really want to do the AWD convert.. I am trying to start an information thread.. Going from 2Wd to Awd may be a different creature though.. Say it can be done and i will start finding parts..

Thank god for Tax Season;...;
