Now you see it.

Now you don't!

I'm so tired of carburetors and crappy fuel mileage I decided to sell my 454 and the nitrous set up in favor of a 5.3 with a future turbo set up

5.3 the is the way to go or any ls style engine for that matter! those bigblocks are too heavy.

Hillbillys not here to nag on ya. haha.

I haven't decided if I'm going to build the one I have or just toss a junkyard one in for now.

If you go with a turbo you should contact kyle at Kbracing96@gmail.com he is in wheatland wyo and builds kits for ls motors and knows a ton about turbos and tuning.I had him tune my 6.0 and it runs great.
