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.
i thought those units were more than the op posted

Man that is not what your sales department said it would cost me for the truck kit!

Hopefully I can start on this when I get back next month to KC I would like to run 12lbs of boost and make over 500hp at the rear wheel, what do you guys think?
A TVS2300 with a LSX 376 I would hope could make over 500whp. Im going to try to get my whipple to make around 500whp before even touching my stock 6.0L.

Like the other guys said, throwing new parts at the truck is not going to solve any problems. Get your current setup squared away and running 100%, then if you still don't like the driving characteristics of the turbo swap over to a blower.

I dont think so, and the reason I know you are wrong is those prices do not match ANYTHING we have on the list.

Ryan, please keep the turbo.

Well I drove it today with no codes so far after I changed some things on it with my Hp tuners and I am not sure what I will be doing with it later but I know for sure I will be getting the LSX 376 for sure can't beat that price, but my 9lbs of boost feels pretty good it would be nice if I could use the T-70 with the 376, and I am wondering if I have an exhaust flow problem everyhing works fine though!

don't you have a cat on your truck? I thought I saw a picture someone posted of it? Wasn't it mounted like a foot behind the tranny crossmember??? If so, then i would say yes you have an exhaust problem....
