Here to learn and avoid stupid mistakes.

Hows it going? I have been lurking for a few days, but decided to join. I am in SC, and have a 09 Silverado 4x4 with a LC9 5.3L. have been toying with upgrade ideas, and figured this is the place to be.
About me: have worked on my cars and the wifes. I replaced the lifter in the truck when I bought it, am not afraid of taking the motor apart. Am more comfortable with carbs/2strokes. Am down to buy tools if i dont already have it.

About the truck: bought it 12/2021 for $6,000. OD 98,000. 5.3L 4x4, collapsed lifter, needed a tail light, some body work and new paint. Fixed the lifter by myself. 2" level front. New headlights. New paint. Bumper guard. Camper shell(painted). Got the DOD tuned out, and have a 87 performance tow tune on it right now.

Goal: Build the motor and power train to be a beast of a daily that can haul "tail" and tow boats. not interested in the track/racing, but faster never hurt

Current plans: DOD delete and new cam. would love to eventually do a turbo(twins hopefully)

Looking for advice to make sure I do everything right the first go round to not buy/build twice lol. I will post more specifics in the right section.
