What's the lift & LSA of that cam?
Ever thought of F/I? A turbo from KB or Trick & a T56.

whats a F/I?
I would love to throw a turbo on there and do a T-56 tranny. Would u still put it on the 4.8L as a daily driver? Also i have no experience/knowledge of turbos so whats a good realiable turbo that can throw down some big numbers and hold up to a T-56? (thats not going to take most of the budget.)
on a side note... I really have a VERY small understanding of how to install things so im going to need to find someone around here to install this stuff and the only "specialty" shop is mainly a mustang place but they said they are "capable" of installing this. So what im saying is, they are going to
me when in comes to labor costs... and its the closest dyno place too. Next nearest is 2 hrs away in Pittsburgh, Pa

Yes, I'd DD a 4.8 turbo. In fact, if I owned a 4.8, it's exactly what I'd do.
Long as outta boost, u can get good mileage, & it'll be a runner.
A turbo will outdo a T56, not the other way around. You'll run outta motor, tranny or rearend before turbo. If sized properly. I'll post a link. Be right back.
Granted Kyle's sale is over, but contact him, he's on here alot, as am I. He's really helpful, & this 1st few pics gives ya an idea of the kit(s) & at that time, pricing.

Here's another. They're a sponsor as well. Both make nice kits & I'd buy from either. In a way, I almost wish I was doin turbo, but I'm not, but plan to on a future project. Who knows, 1 day maybe I'll do this truck, but a Maggie is goin on 1st.

F/I is forced induction; it means nitrous, supercharged, & turbo. Anything that's not N/A (naturally aspirated) is F/I. It can also stand for fuel injected (-ion) but on PT, most use it as to mean a power adder that I mentioned here.

The only reason y i didnt think i was going to do a 6.0 build was because i wanted to be able to still use my factory 5 speed tranny. At least until i can put a t-56 in it. But as far as i understood the 6.0 cant be hooked up to the 4.8/5.3 tranny and i was told the 6.0 i would have to change the engine brackets, idk... I was told all this by a local garage shop guy so let me know if he's full of it lol.
