I think that's a ridiculous amount of money to dump on what you've already spent just to get 500rwhp.
Buy a 6.0L and be done. That T70 will crank out 500, but then again it will do that on your 5.3... I used virtually the same turbo on a rear mount to go way past that with an engine fire on the dyno (but with a 408).
A TVS won't solve tuning problems. Trick's kit won't solve tuning problems (although Rick builds awesome stuff
). Tuning solves tuning problems, but from what I've read you don't have any tuning problems, you have perception problems.
You just need to calm down and drive the damn thing.

I think you just need to get the turbo tuned and set up right. No reason you shouldn't satisfy you. If your opting for a new mill buy a new motor and keep the turbo kit, why dish out extra money for nothing on a blower??

Not sure where you got that price, the TVS Front inlet front drive is 6450, and the jack shaft system is 7500+ bucks.
It was mentioned above that the Magna Charger will not solve your tuning issues, and he is right. I would suggest working out the issues with what you have and then consider moving on.
