I keep going back an forth on turbo desicions, I have a lly turbo sitting here ready to be rebuilt with parts but I see others that have done it and it failed or went a different route. So maybe you guys can help me.

My goal is to just upgrade but keep he vgt because I love the turbo brake. I would like to go with the largest as possible while still being able to use the truck. I don't have a power goal, what ever stock fuel will do for me as I don't intent to ever go any larger. (Even I do drop a piston I'd just go with some nozzles but keep the pump stock)

Let me now what you guys think

Call up Danville performance and talk with Mark. Iv been running his gt3794 stage 2 on my lmm for 230k pulling a flatbed. Very happy with it.

My bad. Yeah I did mean 3794. Mine is the 65. You can get the 4094 which will move more air and is a 68mm. I got the smaller cause my truck is a tow rig

What is the difference in Marks stage 2 3794 versus the off the shelf garret 3794?

I am not worried about instantaneous spool, because my stocker hAs that, but I like a good pull up top. Little bit less torque on the rods is always a plus, maybe a 3794 with the 68 wheel and marks porting and polishing?

If you love your exhaust brake, you would hate a 4094. I was in the same boat as you with my last lmm. A LLY charger with batmowheel, 10-blade turbine with fingers vanes and p&p ex housing not only made awesome power, it braked better than stock.

Hey josh, what did you have cost wise into that thing? What you had is what I was looking for just with the ww2. Just trying to weigh the costs. I also wish yellowchevy was still in the game!

Yeah but the p&p work cost and what was listed plus psd turbo wheel with shaft i mean you have to be close to $1500 when all said and done. It would be cheaper to buy from Danville.
