4.8 Turbo Help Looking for some guidance... I have a 4.8 chevy 2000 that I cam swapped to a Texas Speed 208/214 with a .550 valve lift. I am looking to get a turbo/turbos and wanting to know what I would need to accomplish 5-600 whp without breaking the bank
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Call any turbo vendor and ask which product would suit your setup best. If you are wanting a budget turbo id suggest starting at VSracing. They will get be able to suggest something for you. One of their 78/75 turbos most likely. IF you want twins the GT35 clones would work well.
Bit of an open-ended question. Really depends on what you want to do with it. If you plan to run a set lowish boost amount on a relatively factory vehicle and daily it, I’d just take it to a reputable tuner and have them tune the factory PCM. If it’s a toy you will be constantly altering/upgrading/racing. Go with an aftermarket “plug and play” ECU. If you aren’t tuning it yourself, would be best to ask around and see what a local tuner to you prefers and is familiar with. I’m a fan of Mega Squirt platforms, but that’s simply because it’s what I know. Holley stuff is more than capable as well and likely more popular.
