yeah i think i may have to upgrade the fuel system soon but they are rated at 60lbs at 43.5 psi so it should be closer to 70 something at 60 psi.

#7 and #8 pistons died were you using a stock intake with boost

Jablowme.... yes stock intake with boost.

Oakley6575....the heads are stock except the double prc springs.how does your 408 run?

I thought about going N/A but since I have the blower i figure why not... LOL

My heads/intake are untouched as well. The truck runs great but I can't stand having stock heads on a fully built short block. I don't know if I should put a turbo kit on it with WCCH stage II port on the LS3's or stay N/A with AFR heads. Can't wait to see how yours performs.

If your truck is setup for N/A racing already, with a high stall converter and deep gears, and you're not willing to change them, then stay N/A.

But, turbo power will own N/A power any day.
