Thinking of turboing my 00 5.3. Single turbo Daily Hauler 450-500hp

Hey guys thanks for the input.

I got LS6 valve springs and LS6 cam going to look for some hardened push rods. The 4L60 is going to get a mad dog stage 4 rebuild kit. Ill build it soon.

The truck is a ECSB Z71 with 24's lol for now till i find some 20's i like. I kno the 24's are heavy but got them with new tires for a steal.

I was looking at the walbro 340. Im still debating the intercooler either ill do a front mount or a water to air. I find the 99-03 silverado has a small nose grille area.

If i do a front mount i will have to relocate the trans cooler as there is not much room behind there. I wanna keep my ac.

Buy my turbo kit, it is for sale in the forums. You just bolt it on. I made 442hp/468ft.lbs in a ECSB Z71

You can keep the ac. Mount the tranny cooler in front of the ac condenser and the intercooler below the radiator.

It seem to me that would be a little low especially if you ever go off road...
