Looking for all recommendations on forced induction for a 5.3L 1500 Silverado? I wanna build a mild/fun truck and really like this platform. Maybe tow with it even during the summer. IDK, but it needs to have some balls.
I've been looking at the Whipple systems and they seem pretty good. Just wanted to ask the experts what they recommended or if I was missing what was available?
Are there turbo systems available for these trucks?
All help is greatly appreciated!
Cant help you too much there but I do know that there is a big group of performance related truck guys over @ http://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/

George builds some bad ass sh!t.
I would not use a on3 turbo kit, i would use parts but kits temd to crack
Kbracing is a buddy of mine and sells good turbo kits, yes ive built my own setups
Ive towed with a blower and and turbo hands down did job better with lower temps
Thanks, George! I'll check Kb out for sure.
I've got to say, all of these "turbo kits" available for this truck look awful. The manifold design, casting, coupling, bends, parts, welds, pieces...looks like shit. Thanks, but no thanks.

Look at Trick Turbo as their manifold is a casted piece
Majority of trucks use a simple proven log setup, theres setups making 1300 rwhp with log style, it originated from the turbo buicks of the 80s
Any compressed air ever enter this equation?
