    Hey guys I need some advice please..

    Im trying to make up my mind to take the best decision posible..
    I SAND race 1/16 of mile in my truck in 4WD LO..
    my truck does 5.85sec in that distance without NOS with my current setup (signature), but now its time to go faster..
    as you can see, I need instant torque because the race is in very short distance, so I dont know if I should go with a TVS1900, or also Ive seen some ProChargers D1SC making great numbers... I would like to stroke my 5.3 out to a 370ci, or should I get just a 6.0L? I know turbos make great power, but I cant deal with any lag in such a short race..
    Please let me know what setup should I go with in your opinion..
    Thanks!!

    No restrictions at all bud! There are some people running stroked & carb'ed 6.0's (408's).. There is one running also 300hp of NOS, but honestly they don't know how to build engines the right way cause he's running lows 5's with all that stuff.. I would like to stay on the fuel injected side..

    A well setup turbo system will be just as good as a supercharger.

    You don't think that turbo lag would kill me?

    That's the point of a well planned setup. The right sized turbo, right sized exhaust, there will be almost zero lag.

    what about budget? anything to keep you from spraying a blown 408?
    a 200 shot on a a lq4 with good heads and cam with rodbolts should be cost effective

    What kind of turbo setup would work for me? I thought
    a TVS or a ProCharger would be the way.. In even that it's a short race, I go all the way to 4th gear @ about 5500rpm at the finishline.. Instant torque would help me, but also I need to keep in mind that racing in sand + 4wd LO + high torque I would definetly spin off the line a lot..
