For the intercooler plumbing I was thinking of getting one of the Universal bend kits from Ebay... Guessing your on3 gate works fine or should I splurge for the Turbosmart?

I havent had a problem with my gate. I just used 3" 16ga mild steel for the cold pipe. Got it from mandrel-bends as well. Trav, I would run dual 255 pumps if it was me and Im running LS9 gaskets and ARP studs.
The single 255 should sufficient to about 425hp. I think Travis is at low 300s right now. Depending on how much boost he throws at his "tired old 5.3" he should be okay. Maybe up to 6-8lbs. However, knowing Trav like I do he will want moooooaaaahhhhh powwaahhhh. So ya bigger pump for sure. :lol:
Anyways your build is killer and very inspiring for many of us. Nice work. :thumb:
I really want to get it on a dyno and see where it's at. I would be pleasantly surprised if I was in the 300's.Quote:

Then build the turbo on a 10.0:1 motor and throw 10psi at it.....at least that's the plan for now.
That sounds like a very responsive combination travis. And thanks Kerrige!!
If I trash my trans then its either th400 or I will tear the whole truck apart and start the real deal build. :devil:Quote:
