from everything i've read on here, that turbo should be plenty for 600rwhp. i am working on a similar setup (5.3, vicjr, 4150 tb, s475 but with 1.32 and e85). be interested to see your reults. good luck!

I really want to ditch the pump gas and meth kit for some e85 will 60lb injectors max out before 600rwhp on e85? If so will I need a fuel pressure regulator for 80lb injectors... Im running a vette fuel regulator right now.
