Default Garrett GTX4508 on 5.3L???

Hey guys I have a new Garrett GTX4508r (80mm) with a 1.44 rear that was meant to go on another engine combo I had planned, but now I am just getting a junkyard 5.3 to get my by for now.

Does anyone know how this turbo will go on the 5.3?
I'll be fitting a cam and doing rod bolts/head studs.
Got all the fuel system except injectors sorted out to go e85. Any suggestions on injector size?

The car will mostly be for drag racing, and some occasional street use.
Thanks for your time guys.

I don't understand the question.

Will it work? Yes. Bigger turbos have been used on smaller engines. Yes, chances are you already knew that
Will it lag? Yes, chances are you already knew that
Will it make power? Yes, chances are you already knew that.

Head of nail, meet hammer.

Do 127lb injectors from the get go.
