after reading and researching some threads,and giving much consideration to a turbo or engine swap.. i decided to go FI... so i was wondering what would work well with the 4.8.. not planning on making to much power, i dont want a race truck, it will be my dd.. open to any suggestions

KBRacing 70mm kit, and Isky 210/112 would be killer...

In a 4.8 you could prob use a converter. Maybe the TBSS converter would work decent. If you went with a BB turbo, and Isky 206/112 cam it would spool quicker. What does the converter flash right now if you floor the gas and brake?

My truck has 3.73's but switching to 3.42 when I get time. Yea that's too tight you need 2500 or so to light the turbo good IMO. I hear people have pretty good luck with the TB converters. A 62mm turbo should get you decent power and might light off with that stock converter you would just have to try it. Prob is boost is addicting and when you want more you will have to buy another turbo. I'd go 67~70mm and get a little converter..
