    Oh hell ya, a single turbo setup is sweet! It can be setup for way cheaper than you'd think too...

    I want to stick a T-76 on a Trailblazer!

    That is the best kit for a 4.3 but it is for the S-10's. Stupid thing is that it is adapted from an ATI SC, but ATI doesn't sell a 4.3 application for the fullsizes. So not sure if the Mach one can be adapted or not.

    See, sometimes it is nice to have an S-10 owner hanging around&#33;

    BTW, I have done an insane amount of research on upgrading the 4.3L and this company is the only one that specializes in them, and their products just kick a&#036;&#036;&#33;&#33; Unfortunately the other thing that I have found out is that you can squeeze 500 hp out of one of these things but it will still be a dog of a daily driver. No matter what you do, as the hp of the 4.3 increases it moves farther and farther up the power band and they stay a dog below 4 grand.
