But....but...."g-body LS swaps aren't cheap" and "a stock 5.3 swap costs $14k". Pretty cool to see you disprove conventional wisdom.
I am collecting parts for a similar build with a similar budget.

There is so much win in this build. 
Need some fire up and some burn out vids!

Nice.
What is the motor? Stock? What turbo and cam? Where are you in PA are you? First MS?
Lots of questions. I have to say that 1st fire up and crank up is the moment (that makes me feel like a kid - lol)
Hit us with some details PLEASE.

Thanks man
Its a 5.3 out of a 99 1500. I put flat top pistons in it, dual valve spring kit, new lifters, and a Comp Cam 54-602-11 "Big Mutha Thumpr". It also has a 6.2L square port intake with adapters to go to cathedral port.
The turbo is a just a cheap $190 GT45 EMUSA unit from ebay. The wastegates are DNA Tuning 44mm units from ebay. The BOV is a relic from my Audi days, lol an APR R1. Intercooler is from CXRacing, 31x12x3.
TH350 with Alto Red Eagle clutches, one piece front planetary ring, and a TCI Manual Valve Body. 3800-4200 stall torque converter.
3.23 gears out back with the carrier welded solid lol. I'm just going to send it until it blows to pieces, then go 8.8 or 9 inch.
Oh, the fuel system is all from Amazon, knock off 044 pumps in a surge tank in the trunk. Right now I'm running decapped stock injectors.
My favorite part is the B&M Quick Silver ratchet shifter, I love how it feels lol.
Here's some pics
