Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build

As far as intake the truck intakes make the better torque and hp for the bang, I've seen and read a ton on the stock intakes and dyno testing and they did the best till I get into the ls3 and ls6 but they are head specific and then the lsx intakes are another story too. Like wasted incomes set up is all ud need as long as u have a good tuner for it, the tune is the hard part. There are tons of diff turbos on the market and a sh*t load on the used market, I've seen lots of whole ls1 setups using stock truck manis and the do all the hard part of welding and making the tubes and everything on craigslist for under 400 some even with injectors and most of the stuff u need.

I'm sure ther is tons of help on here and I can't wait to see how it goes, I've been thinkin hard on doing one too and am hoping ur build makes my mind up for me.
