Thanks! I know 1 turbo at a normal 8lbs of boost on a 5.3L is pretty hairy, We sell STS turbo systems and install them on the side. My brothers 00 Silverado 5.3L is putting 525hp/600lb/ft to the ground. He just picked up a 6.0L with 12K on it that will be taking its place possibly Thanksgiving week.

I haven't ever built an automatic before, but I have a 700R4 that is going to be the first subject. It can't be as difficult as a engine. My buddy used to build them on the side when we were younger, seemed easy watching him...
