Default What's my compressor wheel trim?

I found the formula to figure out the trim on the compressor wheel when all of a sudden i realized I suck at math, can any of you turbo gurus or mathematicians help me out? Inducer is 58.9mm and the exducer is 86.0mm.
The formula is (inducer/exducer)^2*100. Visually it looks smaller than the ones I've seen on here but I may be mistaken, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.Thanks

(58.9 / 86.0) ^2 * 100 = 46.9

Do you think thats too small for a stock LS1? I only want to run about 5-7# of boost.
Thanks Boostaholic.

That is small. That wheel is what is used in the TE44. Very small unit.

Thanks Boostaholic.
You will be wanting 5-7psi for about 5-7 seconds, its addictive like drugs, so make sure you get a turbo that will let you eventually step things up in the future

The turbo is a Garrett with a t6 flange and the hot side has a 1.0 A/R. Do you think I can just change the compressor housing and wheel?

The housing can probably be changed and the compressor wheel also. Some machining will have to be done as well as balancing the assembly.
