Point taken. Should be relatively mean with this set up! Hopefully this is enough to satisfy my inner child.

You're gonna love boost I'm about 9 psi on my blown/cam/p&p/ tahoe, my advice is to start saving on a transmission, mine only lasted about 3 months at 7 psi. After 2 rebuilt trans, I finally bit the bullet and did the 4L80e swap, now my build 4L80 is rated at 1000 HP. So far it's been holding for 8 months now. You gotta remember are suv's are heavy. Start also saving on a rear end lol. It never ends

Ha. Pretty much why I haven't turbocharged my Tahoe yet. After working as a tech for 10 years next to a transmission tech(GM)...I am afraid of the 4l60's lol. They just don't like torque. I now have a 4l80 to install...then gonna end up building turbo setup. Just trying to figure out turbo sizing now...this is just a highway truck(Z71 tahoe) or a tow vehicle for my car. Thats it. Getting closer to trans install, then will iron out turbo.
