Who's questioning me??? I have my weight tickets somewhere around here... I can either scan or take a pic of them... I think the last scale I went to that had a ticket print out had me at about 4080 or so... It was over a year ago so I honestly don't remember.
Lol, yeah jonathan, that's what happens when your play truck turns into your work truck.

I did the same thing and I don't regret it one bit!! WOT in 2nd gear is 105mph!! 
Can't go wrong IMO to load a turbo. I go through the gears just as fast now as I did with the 4.10's the only difference is the speedometer is hard to keep up with!

silver-mod-o's update from another thread that was merged into this one....

Here's the basics:
Its going to be a custom fabbed complete front mount turbo kit using an MP T-70 turbo and one of Kyles proven heavy duty log manifolds. It will also utilize a sizeable air/air intercooler.
The truck its going on I'm sure a lot of you are probably familiar with. Its my 2000 2WD ECSB 5.3 truck. Raceweight of this truck even after the turbo kit should be between 4000 and 4100lbs. This truck was previously setup to run on nitrous and a Harris Speedworks wet kit which did well... But I'm ready for HP you don't have to fill up.
I've already started making changes to help the turbo work better. Went back to some 3.73 gears vs my old 4.10s and already had a custom turbo cam specd out for me. A new walbro 255 pump has also been ordered to replace my current one, which will feed 60# injectors. A bolt in C-notch and caltracs will be going out back to help with traction, I'm sure that's going to be a battle. I will be putting the power through the Finish Line Level 5 4L65E Transmission and Yank SS3600 torque converter that I have been running for a while now. The converter size and type is subject to change though... I'd rather not be hard in the boost leaving every redlight
There you have it, I'm looking for solid 11s out of this combo. The motor has almost 130K miles on it so I'm sure you'll be seeing another build thread from me soon lol. But who knows, sometimes these motors last freakishly long under some serious abuse.
Kyle, throw any info and/or pics you can in here.
Mods, can you link my other threads from the f/i and drivetrain/suspension sections in here if ya get a chance. I can't do that from my PDA.
