Don't forget the 1500$ hotpipes, cold side, blow off, wastegate, and turbo oiling. You're looking at 3000 or so for a budget turbo install.

Try looking at turbotrucks.com or the like they're sites pretty detailed as far as what a turbo setup consists of. Givr u a good idea of what you'll need. Couple guys on here have monster turbo trucks, very fast. Might wanna pm them too.
A decent oil pump for a rear mount isn't cheap either. A mail order tune with boost is a terrible idea. So count on some dyno time, which isn't exactly cheap. Cam swap or not, better valve springs are a must for FI. There's another $250ish. The 60e will be toast in a matter of weeks, no way around that. So be looking to spend north of $2000 for a decent unit from a good builder.

i will do a 4l80e swap before i put in another 4l60e. I beleive i could tune it my self, i graduated with an advance automotive technology degree.....so i know about the different factors in fuel and etc...we just never custom tuned.

If you are going to tune it yourself, then you need to purchase hptuners. That's gonna be 500$ for std or 650$ for pro. If you get pro you can do Wideband tuning which you will need a Wide band, which will also cost you 200ish. Or you could buy EFI Live which has similar prices.

You can also sell your CAI to offset the cost.
