fuel pump i also believe oil pump...obviously heads/cam also which also means pushrods & you might as well upgrade springs....but i really don't know how long the factory rings can handle all that boost...another user FOOSE04 has a turbo 4.8 that he's putting out some crazy power with on the factory bottom end...you said this will be your DD though right?
EDIT: injectors also IMO

im sure you can go on ls1tech and do some searching and find someone that is selling a t-56.
I really think that you should do a turbo/t-56 and call it a day. as youve seen on here you can build a really quick 4.8. so why not?!

i considered this in my 4.8 the guy who did my cam and head swap said yeah just change the block and priced out 4,000 for a .40 over bore and stroke. not in my budget. I have 243 heads with 6500 hundred miles on em i would be willling to sell. i dont know to much about trannys but my brother said you can get the 4l60e with a decent stall 4 speed and then go to gear vendors and theyll make it a six speed if dailly driver is a concern just my .1 i dotn know much but hopefully it helps.

Yes, without a doubt i will NEVER convert my truck to an auto as long as i live. If im going to be hardcore draging it, i'd buy a camero and put a built auto in that. This is my DD and i want to just be able to have fun with it on the side also.
Project update: By next week the cam, valvesprings, 180 thermo, pushrods, and 4.10's will be installed.
Still shopping around and looking for a decent T-56 thats not gonna kill the budget and more than likely gonna wait until KB or Trick has another sale before i get the turbo
im patient plus its stupid to waste $1000's when fuel prices are the way they are right now... F'n reDICKulous.
