wanna go boosted

i want to turbo my truck but i dont know the best way to go it. i want to run 10-12 with a stock bottem end. right now i have a 5.3 with p&p heads and cam to match 219-227 .607-.613, tbss intake, heads have 30 thousands shaved off. or should i get rid of the 5.3 and go with a 6.0 with a boost cam. i kinda want to keep the 5.3 but i dont know how much boost it can handle being higher compression. also i would like to know if a stall is nessary with boost, right now i have a 3200 but its in a 60 and im going 80

where are you from

michigan

Go turbo now and upgrade engine later. :).
Stall is matched to cam more then turbo or boost.

A boosted,cammed 5.3L will handle a n/a cammed 6,0L ;).

We can build you a nice turbo kit with intercooler, let me know if I can help your build out.

boosted and cammed 5.3 sounds pretty goOD to me.... i think a 3200 stall should be fine.....unless u go BIG turbo....

i kinda want to get a way from using a stall, if i get a boost cam are stalls recommended with them.

Depends how big it is. I wouldn't shy away from a stall. They're going to give you a huge SOTP gain.

Boost is where its at.. But can destroy a stock motor quick if your not careful! But man its sooooo funn!! LMAO

how much boost can i safely shove to a stock lower end 5.3

safely... 12-15. but i had my motor well over 30psi before and it just blew the head gasket... but the internals are still perfectly fine.

but even at 10psi a healthy 5.3 can put down 500 all day long
