Any seen one of these turbo kits?
I opened up my ST magazine and I seen a small add in it advertizing a new turbo kit for 4.8l-6.0l trucks. It is made by detroitspeedworks.

It is. I found this on the detroitspeedworks site.
They also have a clip of the Escalade in the add running a 14.3 in the 1/4mi. I don't know what Escalades run stock but that seems to be pretty good to me.

seems like is was $7000 or something crazy like that, maybe that is a "list" price kind of thing and it will really sell cheaper.
if i had a couple more tools i might try and make my own kit. if that worked well then i might look into how much it cost to have the hot parts reproduced. everything else in the kit is prety much just an assembly of pre made parts. tuning would be the kicker, if i was to ever do somthing like that i would probably only offer tuning for the kit 2 ways. one is for a nearly stock truck and i could get a good tune down for that and the other would be with no tuning help at all.
someone buy me a tig welder, loan me 10k and lend me your truck for 6months. thinking a twin t60 set up would be killer.
seems like there are quite a few respected companys coming out with kits. i think before long a turbo will be the most widely way used for boosting the trucks.
