I totally agree, plus if you go really big you can still get it to spool fast with a looser converter. And if anything like a gasser a well picked cam can help spooling also
Help on options on rebuild

My car was laggy from a roll with a big turbo so I would just ride the brake a little while moving and build some boost and it would hit like N2O, only then the back of the car tried to pass the front
I build tons of these and I'm confused after reading this thread.
700 hp, turbo lights like gas fueled fire and smoke is less then an edge on your stock truck. Proven, works, EGT's under 1500 ALL THE TIME. 55lbs of boost for you junkies and drive it everyday. Combo has been built, proven, tows 12k in OD perfectly. Turbo meets 2.8 rules, can be built for a 3.0 class if you need.
800 hp. Not gonna do it for less then 15k reliably.
Just some notes from somebody who has been there

Ok got the front of my truck off all the way to the fan in about 2 hrs today. and most of the upper part of the removal.
Now you guys have me all about my turbo what turbo should i go with to acheive the mark i want which is a streetable 800HP?
And is there a egr delete for 06? I have the block off plate. But i want to clean up the engine and the egr is in the way.
How much soot should be in my intake b/c there is a lot in mine?
And finally the pistons i know for a fact forged is better for high hp but will they last. And when i say last i would like not to ever go back in the bottom end!!!

eric that 15k all in parts? or that inluding labor?
depends on what your starting with. From scratch? Just parts.
800 HP you can use everyday will be tough with one turbo IMO. My truck was 800 HP on a single charger but the streetability was not prime. Cam selection played into that, but what it lacked on the bottom, made up for on the top end

And is there a egr delete for 06? yes all 06 have egrI have the block off plate. But i want to clean up the engine and the egr is in the way.you can remove it and block both the exhuast and intake area. you cna pull the up-pipe and have it capped to make it look cleaner.
How much soot should be in my intake b/c there is a lot in mine?yes the intake will be black

IMO fordge would be the way to go. but i will let others solidify that opinion.
as for turbo(s) how much wieght are you towing? and how often?

in sharkys case. parts wise single turbo 800 def could be had even with fordge piston for under 15k inlcuding dual fuelers. using a s400 variant
i know heads will help make it easier to make power along with a cam.
and im not talking about tranny.
ok lets not worry about the money for a while if it goes over so what!!! Right? i see another guy i think his name is henry on here building a 06 lbz and using so cal pistons are they any good?
and dont forget the hidden costs of misalanious BS, i always spend a few extra grand more than i plan on any project
Been there, doing that!
I think hes using cast LB7 pistons that were cut down by so cal correct me if im wrong guys. In any case So Cal Diesel stuff is awesome.
800hp is somewhat of an unknown realm as far as driveability and longevity goes. Youre not just going to be able to get a straight answer as to the perfect setup because if it existed, nobody would ever have to rebuild their motors again and again at the 700hp level.
800hp is pretty streetable
mine was really streetable spooled like a stock charger and was fun to drive just did not like to pull the trailer around

800 hp every day is different then 800 hp for a few blasts on the dyno.
I believe 700 dependable hp is very doable and with longevity.
RPM has alot to do with how an engine lives too. Make all that power on the bottom and it wont last near as long as if you can spin it up a bit

i had heard that before.. say the redline is 4,000. natually with shifts point adj acordingly.
should be rather reliable no? along wiht the new clevite 77 bearing that just came out
how high travis? 4500-5,000?
then we are talking a TC stahl ~3000rpm if you are running un-gated turbos.
