That turbo would prob work good for a remote mount set up, but if you wanted anything over 450rwhp, that turbo would be done

I have a friend with an 05 Silverado, 5.3, 6.0 heads, decent cam, step side with a remote mount next to the tranny and a garrett T76 on 10.5psi and he's in the 525-545rwhp range with a th400 and 3100 precision stall

You will be fine with 60-1's. I have a LS3 with twin intercooled 60-1's. I went with a small (.58) turbine housings or a quicker spool. I havent dyno'd the motor yet but all calculations indicate 700HP - 750HP. All i really want is 500HP at the rear wheels...
