Default ebay gt45 and ls1

Do you guys think this turbo will choke an ls1 or kick *** i know are great on a 5.3 but im thinking maybe the turbine might be a bit small for the extra cubes also do any of you know what my compression would be with 317 heads thanks in advance

The small compressor will limit the power. The biggest one I saw was 68mm.

From some of the quarter mile times that are being reported on here with this turbo, I can't see where 600hp is a problem...

I'm pretty sure the ebay gt45 that everything is running is only 68/87
If it was 77/87 I would be buying one myself.

The turbine is 77 I believe. 87 may be the inducer.
