    Yea no doubt if you have increased VE with the NA setup, it will make more power in boost. Just depends how much he wants to spend since he said it was a "budget" build lol. Thats some damn good mph, but Im sure the turbo setup has a lot to do with that mph just as much as the heads and intake do. I also have arp rod bolts, studs and ls9 gaskets and torqued them like you suggested George

    I paid 200 for my 5.3 and 200 for the 243s so shit can be found and had on a budget

    I recently picked up a set of trick flow 220s for the 53 but wont be playing with that setup anymore. would of liked to see what truck would of done on 18psi, I calculated around 136mph if stars were aligned

    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
