I wasn’t commenting on the rest for a reason, I was simply stating that a junkyard 5.3 turbo setup would yield the power necessary and others were doubting it. It’s quite obvious that our particular platform has a couple weak links (4L60e if you are auto, and 10 bolt for both) BUT both can be overcome for less than $6k.

You’ll see whats up next year…
