5.3 or 6.0 turbo? Hey whats up guys, i need a lot of help with my setup here. I got an 81 camaro, im either putting in a 5.3 or 6.0 in it along with a t56, im not planning on making this a track car, it will be my daily driver for the most part. This will be my first turbo setup, so i wasn't real sure what i needed to change. From what i've read, lower compression is always better, in which case i think ill go with the LQ4 with an LS6 cam. Should i change the internals? How much boost do i need to run? I was thinking of getting a Garrett T3/T4 turbo. What is considered "good quality" in the turbo world? Any suggestions/recommendations?

Lower Compression isn't always good. Depends and on the gas your going to run. 93octane? then yes go a little lower, 93 plus meth? a little higher. E85(I suggest that) high 9's, race gas high 9s low 10's CR IMO.
Displacement is better yes. But this boost it doesn't make as big of a difference. So if building thr 5.3 is cheaper, I'd do that. Hell stroke it out.
