I don't think there are any nonbelievers, but you are probably going to have $6000 tied up between the turbo kit and other engine accessories just to make the same HP as a bolt on 5.3L.

Good luck though.

I agree, thats a little motor for a heavy truck. But I have seen V6's in F-bodies run high 9's in the 1/4mile. Good luck on the build and hope to see some progress
