My trailer is about 10,000 with a car and parts, the truck will stay in positive boost for over a minute on a regular basis driving. It cracks anything thats not 321 in 10,000 miles or less! The 4L80E helps with breakage underneath, the stock axles have been good.

Mine is going to be my parts chaser, has a 5.3/4L80E engine in it now but a 6.0 might find its way in eventually....
It's ugly brown and tan two tone 1983 with wire wheel covers, should look cool. I have a set of 95 vintage 16 inch salad shooter wheels that will end up on it eventually.

The last few shots with the larger of the two turbo's I am fitting for.
Turbo one is a 67mm Garrett for the 5.3, it has a 3 inch downpipe.
Turbo two is a Garrett GT42 74mm ball bearing unit, it has a 3.5 inch downpipe.

No way! This is just a shop hauler for moving parts and blocks around town. It will be built by Hunter (my 8 year old) and myself for fun. I am not fast at doing this type of work, but we are doing it for fun.

Turbo technology will do a custom kit but thats in house only. You might try getting in touch with Cal Hartline,he is one of the turbo 6 buick gods and he just did an ls1 swap with a turbo set-up. At the last LSX shootout his lsx block motor wasn't finished so he put in a stock ls1 and was running 9's. If my lil buick 6 doesn't produce what I want that will be my next step.
A bit late..
