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.

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.
