I have a complete QMP turbo kit for sale with a T-63 turbo. Includes EVERYTHING except fuel pump and injectors. It's an awesome street kit for a stock or near stock motor. Also have a T-76gtq turbo available that I can sell with it if you want to make upwards of 700~800 hp at the wheels.

I would either get that turbo kit like what he is saying, or I would get a vortech supercharger kit. Eitehr of those seem to be the best designed kits.

410-450rwhp on 5psi from a $3600 STS turbo kit. Bigger boost is only an Alky squirt away.

Link is in my sig.

5 psi = 5 pounds of boost

The 13 pounds listed in his sig is for his Z71 truck. Alot of people have had success with the STS kit. I've been looking into that myself.

Yeah, I have a feeling either my heads or the exhaust housing I had wouldn't support the extra power. I was hoping to see closer to 480rwhp considering Parish8 (10sec 4x4 truck) made 500rwhp/480rwtq on a 6.0L with 11psi on a T76 front mount turbo.

Check out my dyno sheet and you'll see what I mean. It's flatter that hell and doesn't really drop off till after 6700 which is nutty for a truck motor. Ohh, and please don't compare the #s to a 5.7L LS1. With a big cam and basic bolt-ons our trucks seem to be about 80-100rwhp lower than the cars with the same mods. IE I only made 304rwhp with a 226 cam and 320ish with full tuning whereas as car can make 380-400rwhp with similar mods.

Thx mate

I should have stated 5psi on a 5.7L LS1 car should equal 410-450rwhp. Us truck guys can't do that on 5psi, especially with lower compression. Well, unless you build up a whicked motor then boost it a tiny bit
