Not even running and I'm thinking about a turbo

I'm close to having my '05 5.3 swapped and running in my '92. I was planning on keeping it N/A for a while, but already thinking about the turbo. I would have to take the 110lsa cam out and get bigger injectors, but thats no big deal.
I have almost everything I would need to do the turbo, except the turbo. I was thinking about putting it in the bed, not under the bed. I'm thinking a 3800lb truck with 3:08s, 3200 stall, intercooled turbo at about 10psi would be easy mid- high 11's in the 1/4. ???
What does everyone think? It would have the "holy crap" factor with the turbo in the bed.

Two words:


<div align="center">TURBO IT&#33;&#33;&#33;</div>

Now is definitely time to do it before the radiator gets installed. So much for being the fastest 5.3L truck, huh. If you have the money to do it, git-r-dun&#33; Now that the install has slowed down from our earlier feverous pace you can start thinking about doing the turbo and just bypass the NA mode. Just think, you&#39;ll only be out the funds one time instead of twice going NA then boosted. :thumb: DO TURBO&#33; I&#39;d like to turbo mine some day in the future but that will be in a few years.

is there any dought :bash: TURBO THE DAMN THING&#33;&#33;&#33; :rock:

I think a guy who installs turbos for a living should show his stuff&#33; I love turbos and don&#39;t ever want to be without one. Go for it&#33;

whats your screen name again??? trtTURBO cmon now lol... easy nuff, do it and get the holy shit cool factor with that thing in the bed of the truck&#33;&#33;

is this billy that i met last weekend??

yes, I&#39;m Billy.
The more I think about it, the more I&#39;m thinking turbo. Hell, I may go in tomorrow and flip the manifolds and think about a single front mount turbo too.
Anybody want a 110lsa cam? :jump:

TURBO&#33;&#33;DDUUUUHHHHH&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

how much??

Its a 228/232 .588 .595 110lsa.
I&#39;ll take &#036;220.00 for it.

TURBO

i vote n/a.
but that&#39;s just me. more rewarding...
good luck if you do go turbo&#33;

I&#39;m gonna wait to do the turbo. I dont want to piece a kit together that is just "okay". So, back to making it run with what I have and then save for the motor I want and do the turbo the way I want. Sorry guys except Bluecajun5.3.
Besides that, I have Altons truck to get done. Its taking too long and needs more attention.

great&#33;
can&#39;t wait to see the results :thumb:
