This is going to be rad! I've got a 4.8 5 speed truck but I ended up going with a PD blower instead of a turbo. Excited to see progress.

Thanks guys for the kind words and support. I know there is tons of info of people doing similar builds but I tend to always try and do things my way (and I wont bit** when it doesn't work) just to say that I figured it out. But I am NOT unwilling to ask for help when I get stumped on something.

The pup is a Black Lab me and the girlfriend just got a couple weeks ago. Its been rough with the new job working 12hr shifts at night but she that dog or child...so I picked dog.

Cam is a Tick Performance Turbo Stage 1 or 1+. higher lift, lower duration with a good turbo split for 4.8 size displacement. Running it NA has had no ill effects, 288hp for a stock 4.8 with original air cleaner and exhaust aint bad to me...
