Turbo Silverado

Hey everyone, new to the forum and the LS engine world. I have a questions about doing a turbo set up in my truck. It's a 2006 RCSB with a 4.8 and 4L60E. I drive the truck daily for 7-8 months out of the year. Curious what turbo kit to use/ what cam to use with the set up. Also is it worth swapping a LQ4 in place of the 4.8? I have the 6.0 out of a box truck. It's an 01' engine I believe. Needs a rebuild. Let me know your thoughts thanks!

Tick performance can help with a cam on3 I believe is making a kit now for the silverado kb racing makes a good manifold dirty dingo has lots of options for manifold and accessories Brian tooley made my Springs comp cam made my trunion upgrade tick did my cam I built my own pipe out of flipped manifolds. but before u ask any questions u need to know exactly what u want for power and usage like daily driver weekend warrior etc what motor u wanna use for sure and u need a realistic budget and that's where it's important to be honest about what u can afford and what skills u bring to the table also. Tuners are helpful find out who u want to use and once u know these things ppl will.help with the few questions u have left but I know for a fact everything from turbo size cam size gear ratio tire size exhaust size and all that are in several active threads on here right now just hit the forced induction section
