Thanks for the props.
The end bill will depend in each person and final goal.
The kicker is most seem not happy with 400-450 in the turbo works and its so easy to up the power
7psi becomes 9 , become 11, then 13 and shoot got a race with a buddy or want to scary the women. 15psi. And so on.

waiting to go in... 3.90s, 214/220cam
I went for a budget 5.3l build. Just did a cost analysis on what i spent- came out to about $12000 for everything. I was pushing 13.5psi-made ~530HP and 640ft*lb. With a stock bottom end it blew up on the dyno. Going to a 5.3 bored to 5.7 and forged crank pistons rods and possibly 243/799 heads now. So in all it will be around 15g. I live in Canada so shipping was a big factor in pricing as well as conversion rates. If anyone wants i can provide a spreadsheet with cost, shipping price, parts, and distributors.

It's coming. The kit will be limited on max power.
Guess in the 400-450 range. Anything past that you then have to start upgrading parts.
Transmission etc.
12k for a budget build?
Was that adding in the other engine?

It started out budget haha. Then the little things started to add up. Not including the new engine unfortunately. The 12k does include a tranny upgrade though $1500. And like I said shipping up here is expensive, we typically pay the distributor and customs.

That's because ur in Edmonton, I just live a hour from the border. I ship them to Maine and pick them up. I should be able to keep the bill under 5k but im getting a deal on some of the parts
Lucky you haha. Ya I get a discounts at JBs, NAPA, Greenline(great for SS braided oil lines), Warehouse services, and HP solutions. But apparently that wasn't enough haha. Mandrel bent tubing is almost impossible to find up here too- Spent $150 on 3 pieces of 3" 90deg.

Oh and don't cheap out on your MAP sensor haha. I bought 2bar off eBay and it's way off. Had to run and get a BWD OEM 2Bar while my truck was on the dyno
