Compression test shows #7 cylinder is dead. Pulling the motor tomorrow and taking it to the machine shop. Will try to replace just the 1 piston/ring if possible. If not, the whole set up will be changed. Option 1: put a stock 5.3 in an sell it / trade it. Option 2: build a 408-427 ls1 n/a with forged internals (f the turbo, maybe NOS). Option 3: just a nice 6.0 with the patriot heads and a big ol' cam (cheap route).
Either way the turbo is for sale. STS kit 12k miles rebuilt precision T74 turbo(2000 mi), Custom FMIC, Methanol kit, Boost gauge. Boostaholics enjoy, I'm done.
(maybe procharger?)
