Nice truck I can't wait! This should be a fast, easy build for you. What are you gonna use to tune the stock ecm with? Where did you get all your parts from? Are you gonna put valve springs on it? What about head studs? Thanks

Id bet the Twin turbo build will be completed and running by tonight!

Are you flipping the stock manifolds? Very interested in how your hot pipes and final exhaust comes out.

Nice. I want to turbo my 1500 someday. I've got an iron head LQ4 I originally bought to replace the 5.3 but not sure if I'll do that. Might just turbo the 5.3. Interested in seeing your results though

How much do those circle d converters run money wise?

Was just checking out there site.....do you run there regular converters or a single or triple disc. Noticed the triple is 1100$ that's a lot more than I thought they cost.

Are you planning on slapping a cam in it or doing anything to the bottom end or just running it as is?

putting the turbos right below the motor is the plan, like a few inches down from the manifold, i should have room, if i dont ill have t put them up front somewhere.

like 750 for a th400 unlocking one and about 900 for a locking one for a 80 and then yes 1100 for a triple billet lockup nasty ****. those are the ones i buy, i buy the 1100 dollar nasty one because they are the baddest **** i have ever used haha

You should have some custom vinyl graphics made that say Fuzzy Nuts Electrical Repair Inc. for the doors.
yeah you can see the license or truck numbers they had in vinyl on the side of the truck in the right light.

fuzzy nuts lol

I vote for the aluminum heads myself. Less prone to detonate. Where do you get the injectors from? Nice score on the truck.

The best th400 converter that circle d makes will run you 950. That's what I'm running and a buddy of mine is running the same one in his 408 91mm truck

Would the single disk work fine for a 700whp car I wonder? Running a 80e myself hopefully. I'm all about getting the biggest and best but if I can save 200$ then I will. I suppose I should call them and spec one out....

you wont hear me say this often, but...

if you are already dropping nearly 1000 on a converter, and the absolute baddest **** you can buy is 1150 shipped, you should just do yourself a favor, the circle D triple billet lockups are amazing.

The only advantage to the triple is the ability to lock it up on the big end correct?
