critique my build and help me pick the right turbo sooo im building a turbo 5.3l in a gutted foxbody setup for drag only..
car weight is 3200lb's on hoosier DOT drag radials, front coil overs, with 3.55 gears with welded diff
setup so far includes
05 5.3l motor
224/224 .590 lift 114LSA cam
lunati springs
comp pushrods
ls7 lifters
Double roller timing chain
Taylor 10.4mm plug wires
ARP Head Studs
OEM MLS Headgaskets
ported stock TB
Stock Truck intake
Siemens deka 60# Injectors
Aeromotive A1000 Fuel Pump
Aeromotive pushloc -8AN feed line/-6an return
Aeromotive A1000 FPR
Ebay 30x12x4 intercooler 3in/out
Ebay modified 5.0 mustang t4 turbo hotside
Turbonetics 38mm wastegate
Ebay Blow off valve
TH350 w/ trans brake
AEM Wideband
AEM Meth injection
as for the turbo im leaning towards the on3 76mm unit .81ar hotside ive seen it make 600+ on mustangs so i know it can make the power level i want.. plus the .81 hotside should make for quick response..
motor needs to run 93 pump w/ methanol injection
sooo heres the questions
what fuel rails fit the truck intake and mount up nicely
which turbo will get to me 600+RWHP comfortably
if possible will one of the on3 performance 76mm units support that power level?? i need at least 600whp to get the ET's that im looking for so let me know guys im trying to keep costs down as much as i can so the cheaper the turbo the better. longevity isnt my concern i dont mind only getting a season out of the turbo..

Garret boost advisor suggest a few turbos but looking at the compressor maps the GT4094R and the GTX3583R are good matches for your build. Garret has a lot of good info on their website. Just looking at a turbo that is XX mm, doesn't really tell the whole story. Hope this helps.

I won't try to tell you how to do your build, however I will tell you that a master power 76mm turbo with a .96 ar housing spools very quick on a 5.3L. On 23lbs of boost with a stock bottom end and stock heads I've seen 828 hp with that set up.
