Will I be happy with a Trick kit?

I'd actually love to try and build a DD friendly turbo setup. I would keep things very simple and go for maximum responsiveness. An S366 on a 5.3 non-intercooled with a 4" downpipe into a 3.5" catback (something that could stay more quiet than 4" stuff). TR6 spark plugs, stock cam, eveything else. Would make for an extremely fun setup I would imagine that could pump out 500 rwhp on 93.

Im looking for 11's out of mine. My LB7 runs 12 on 35's so I'd be upset if the rcsb won't out run it. I figure truck will come in at 5200 lbs so 550rwhp ought to be sufficent for my goal. Can the stage 2 trick kit, 80 lb injectors, walbro 450 and a tripple 12 acheive this? Trans will be built with a complimentary converter to the turbo setup.

Stock cam just because I would be lazy and because aftermarket wouldn't be needed to reach 500 hp goal.
Would run straight 93 so I could fill up anywhere, and shoot for 10 psi.
Goal would be for the truck to be utterly stockish with around 250 rwhp added.

What do you think the IATs would be with no intercooler?
I would want a smaller turbo for faster spooling correct?
Im thinking that ether way if I go 6.0 or turbo 4.8 I will toss in a ISKY triple 12 cam. That is unless someone has better suggestions.

Non-intercooled for much shorter piping and no pressure drop across an intercooler. All about the best turbo response essentially.

My vote is a turbo kit. I have a Trick stage 5 deal, which I see in't on the website anymore??? The kit was pretty good, I had to modify it because my truck is slammed, so I brought the cross over up 3" from what the kit was originally, BUT I have a TH400 that doesn't have a full bellhousing like the stock transmissions. Being a 4x4 and not slammed, you are in the clear I would say!
