Default 5.3l and gtk1000- when will I max the turbo

OK so i have a 5.3 with stock heads and wanna know what its gonna take to max out my turbonetics gtk 1000. i know my cam is a bit big (232/234 on a 114) but im not gonna change it. running an 4l80e, stall will be between 3200-3600. How far can i go with this turbo, boost and hp wise?

specs
76mm t4
.96 ar
68mm turbine wheel
4" dp

Thanks in advance- Nick

Id say around 700whp it would be out of steam. That will take arOund 17psi.

I don't mean to hijack your thread but i've been thinking about running the same turbo on my iron 5.7. I'll be right at 10.5:1 and on E85. Any clue what i could get out of that turbo?

What do you think I could run boost wise before efficiency goes out the window
