I didn't know the lly turbo is better. Huh learn something new everyday. What makes it better? And would it be worth swapping one in that I have lying around.

no reason to swap a stock lly turbo to your lbz, gains would be minimal. You need to go bigger :D

LLY-Pros- Strongest TC,<disagree - I limped my '05 more times than I could count PTO?, most tables in EFI for tuning

LLY-Cons-overheating, egr, early models headgaskets, pcv, weak 5ht gear

LBZ-Pros-can run 2,000 psi more rail pressure, highest flowing intake, TAP Shifter, best rods, stronger better stock tranny, highest flowing CP3

LBZ-Cons-Weakest Convertor,<I disagree here egr, pcv, leaky transmission lines<this is definetly gay!!!, pistons are definetly dodgy, Limited EFI tuning, no full flash on trans tuning yet
