Sorry I thought you meant your truck was that fast in it's current 4x4 state.. My truck is 4500lbs with me in it.

Stock 5.2 5 speed RCSB trucks are known to hit low 14s with slicks..

Ya that was 2wd. But even 4wd will not be much off. If you add in the weight of the front diff and cv axles and transfercase and front driveshaft it probably is 250lbs. So that is roughly .25 seconds slower. .1 sec per 100lbs. So at my elevation 15.509 sea level 14.509

Figure'd I'd update this. The oil pump died a couple weeks ago. I replaced it with the best one on the market, The Turbowerx Exa-pump.

I put it behind the cupholder trim in the dash, the USB cord comes down into the glovebox so I can hook up the laptop.

It is close. The only difference is the years. If you want a manual the NV3500 is stock on 5.2's, but I don't think on 5.9's.

How difficult is it to have a turbo in the 3.9 v6? Shouldn't it be easier with all that room that the v8 doesn't have also would you have to beef up the tranny? I have to choses either get a turbo for my v6, or throw a 5.9L in it both will be very expensive and my v6 is damn near perfect, 130 000 km on it, and I have been the only one abusing it really. I am new to turbos and anything down that road Just wondering for advice from a expert lol

If your going from an auto to the manual then you probably will need new front and rear driveshafts.
