Turbos are great but its something i would pay a shop to do for me. A procharger i would have no problem doing in my garage.
I don't have a turbo and I have a tubular K. It's well worth it.

As far as turbo is concerned, I'm not really interested in how many junkyard 5.3's someone has blown up and how many they've installed each time or how much they think they are saving when they aren't. I'd rather do it once and do it right. Make the long block strong enough to hold whatever forced induction you plan on throwing at it.

6 bolt heads are your friend.

Yeah, people that have k-members seem to like them. Just not something i want to deal with.
