tossing a simple turbo setup on my wifes 2007 WT silverado
ya know, because, it doesnt have one, so ones gotta go on
2007 totally stock 4.8 WT 2wd
doing a 228/230 trickflow cam
pac 1218 springs
7065 turbo on a KB racing manifold, single 44mm gate on the turbine
3 inch air to air intercooler, 80lb injectors in the stock intake, 450lph in tank pump, converting to 2Bar OS and trying a duramax 3.3bar Ebay sensor
installing 4.56 gears, exhaust dump valve and connecting to stock exhaust for stealth manuvers.

Well
It has 31 inch tall tires stock, that and 4.56 gears at 6500 in 3rd is like 130 wich is plenty fast for this
It'll make that gutless 4.8 feel good out of boost in this 5000+ lb truck and take some load off the 60e pushing the whole setup around.
We don't plan on land speed racing it so I ask, why not 4.56

I've started using Howards cams over the Trick Flow stuff (and I've used a lot of the 2 Trick Flow cams). They're the same price as the 228/230 and you have a LOT more options. There are probably 6 cams in between the 216/220 and 228/230 that ship same day from Summit.
I'm interested to see how this turns out. A cam that big on a 4.8 with a turbo is either going to make great top-end, or fall hard on its face depending on backpressure.

Edelbrock 2215 cam was super responsive on my 4.8 turbo 280z and the idle sounded mean.

Howards makes a LS GM hotcam clone that I'm trying on the new build, It's low lift as well and they sound aggressive in the youtube vids.
