Default My new set of 6.0 with s480 :)

Taking the 5.3 out with the eBay gt45 and putting a 6.0 with a 92mm 132 A/R should feel a big diff

Same turbo I run on my 5.3 but with a larger housing. You will like the quick spool on that 92mm turbine.

Depends on what your HP goals are? ... the stock rods are always the limit, assuming there is a good tune and supporting mods. If its in the budget, do forged rods/pist and don't look back. Nice to have that piece of mind too.

Might need to think about upgrading the trans also.... BTW- how much was you making with the gt45/zo6? Which gt45 was it?
