Is 190K miles on a L59 5.3L to many for a JY Turbo Build? I'm looking at doing a 5.3L swap with a Huron Speed Turbo Kit build on my '99 camaro. I found a complete L59 with 190K miles on it for $400.00. It's out of a wrecked '02 Silverado that was used as a work truck.
Since I am newly divorced and broke. A budget build is for sure what I am after. I'm looking to make 700RWHP through an auto if possible on a stock bottom end.

Ive got a L59 in my nova stock 190k motor, looked like ****, its seeing 5-6 psi and its loving it. Putting the smaller pulley on this weekend going to see 10-11 psi. More miles usually equals more ring gap and that's whats helping these junkyard motors survive. Ill let you know how much power you can make on thous stock injectors.

On this build I would like to reuse all I can from my nitrous motor since I'm broke and would like the car to just run again. Here is the list.
Fast 92mm intake
NW throttle body
TEA stage 3 heads
Custom ground nitrous cam (how close is a nitrous grind to a FI grind)
Are these parts way overkill for a 5.3L?

Looks like your ready to make some power. NOS cam better than no cam. I think NOS and Supercharger cams tend to share atributes more than Turbo cams but im no expert.
