    I have a T76 @ around 11 psi and the last time I checked I was in the upper 400s with my 5.3. That was with FMIC and 93 octane. Just for comparisons...my truck's an 07 so same body style.

    i was thinking about a procharger, but i would like to be able to quickly adjust my boost for different octane level fuels.

    any thoughts are appreciated.
    cam and bolt ons i gained 82 HPs, just get some spray its easier to hook up

    i love cam and spray too, but i dont want to sacrifice any low end torque at all. the 5.3 is lacking in that department as it is. i still want to pull trailer and haul the family around. so i'm thinking f\i may be right for me

    I have a similar setup as rutroe, mods in sig. Will be getting a cam soon from nelson. I have no idea what kind of numbers it makes. I do tow trailers from time to time and it tows great with the turbo. No more downshifting just go into boost and over the hill.

    this is very tempting. we will see what the year brings. i love the idea of having way more cruising grunt and about 200 more hp. do these guys offer electronic wastegates so i can adjust boost on the fly incase of poor fuel?
