[QUOTE="mkb116, post: 15560263, member: 32500"] You don't have to do a big turbo. You can build a turbo setup if your capable for same, or less than a used 3500 blower. You can run a smaller turbo and have a more usable power band for road racing. For a road race car / daily driver you won't run into the blowers heat soak issues. For reliability, you're not putting all the stress on the crank snout. I went turbo because I want big power. Wasn't going to get there without a bigger blower and the risk of snapping the crank or lower pulley. If you don't want a big blower or a ton of boost, a blower is fine. For power I can turn a dial and go from 10 to 30 lbs of boost. Drag, to street, to road race. My buddy just built a turbo kit for his 6.0 LS swapped notch. From the day he started ordering parts to the day he fired it up... took him like 10 days. eBay cold side and intercooler New wastegate / bov Used 76mm turbo. I think he has $1800 in it so far. It's just hard to beat turbos. Period. [/QUOTE]
