    Go for 15! What have you got to lose, an engine you'd like to kick to the curb anyway? Not to mention you'll have about twice the HP of a stock engine.

    What cam are you running now? The LS6 cam is a popular choice for 5.3/turbo, look what it did for Parish in his setup. Springs and pushrods are always good insurance any time you're going to be beating on an engine.

    im gonna be changing springs and rods real soon. Ive got a stock cam right now, I thought about doing the ls6 cam, but I really like how well foggys setup is. Im gonna go with that 220 on the .581 and go for a 3k-3200 stall.

    but yeah I dont wanna blow this up lol im a college student. Im still paying for the tranny and turbo lol

    Don't know to much about turbo's but I bet if you get everything perfect for a 10psi it will last longer, and be more efficient then a higher psi. Well thats how it is for super chargers.
