Unless you're using a scavenge pump, I think you're going to have oil drain issues with the turbo so low.

Just curious but why didnt you run 2 340's or an a1000? I would think you have enough power to max those 255's out?

And, Kudos on a 5.3 build. I am a huge fan of them and there are some insane 5.3's out there

Ditto.

I've never read the dyno(rear or engine) numbers for a turboed 5.3L, look forward to seeing results.
