I have a 4.8 has long tubes and cai so far. I still have not decided in what best route to take. If you guys were me what would you do? I have thought of different options. Turbo the 4.8 and porting the heads I have and arp head bolts. Or swapping an lq9 short block and top it with parts of my choice . What's the most beneficial choice among these? I'm open to all suggestions.
Thanks

I like the turbo idea. I would go with head studs though.

my suggestion would be A: it's your truck so your preferences are what matters and B: use the search function C: get rid of that 4.8 at all cost

actually I'm leaning towards turboing the 4.8 I think it's cost effective and easier to work on since I have it in the bay. Thanks

Lol what's your budget

I know it's my truck and I can do whatever I want to do, but I prefer to get some advice from people who have many years of experience and have build many motors. Basically they know their stuff. Why do you think the 4.8 is useless?

One of the two a turbo or an lq9 can't have both lol

Why not?

Everything on the 4.8 will swap over to the 6.0 besides heads only $500 for used 243's

4.8 and 5.3 don't make a lot of torque

heads on the 4.8 will swap on to a 6.0...
