I fought the ticking noise for awhile until I figured out that there are no exhaust leaks, the pushrods are the right length, nothing is broke, headers are just noisy. Put the Corvette manifolds back on and quiet again. I guess what I'm saying is that I think I can run mild boost on a 5.3 and not have an obnoxious truck. A friend has a Nissan GTR and that car drives like an Altima until you hit the gas pedal and then dear lord hang on. 600hp and AWD has made me a believer. And I'll have half the traction he does.

I do wonder though...is the Terminator X easy for a novice? I've paid for my last two tunes and I would think a turbo motor would be even harder to learn on.
