2010 base 4.8 truck 2wd mpt76q trim build shooting for 500-550rwhp on 12-14psi stock motor, then throwing in a z06 cam and going for close to 600rwhp.
eventually swapping in a junkyard th400, we know this 4l65e is going to hate life.
390 miles on the truck....
stock z06 injectors

I would be worried about overheating having that intercooler infront of the radiator. Maybe not though, Im not an expert on turbo builds for trucks. lol

I would do an 80e swap instead of the 400. I had a performabuilt L3 65e in my truck for almost two years and it held up to 550-600rwhp. I have now swapped in a FLT L5 80e for peace of mind. Your build looks good. Keep up the good work.

I love it guys! now get some numbers 
oh, and for the record on the IC placement, mine blocks half of my radiator vertically and i have a trans cooler blocking the upper left corner, and an ac condensor blocking the whole thing, 90* and ac on, and i still run under the half mark even making pulls, and on stock T-stat
OH, and do that to the G8 Turbo FTW
