Default TN550 on 5.3?

I am putting parts together over the winter to build a 5.3 turbo. My plan was to get something like a T76 for it. Now my brother has a Turbonetics TN550 which is a 62-1 compressor and F1-62(t3) turbine. I know the turbo is pretty small but I am only looking to make 500rwhp and was wondering if this turbo could get me there since I can get it pretty much for free? The car is only going to be street driven so it will rarely see more than 5k rpm and will probably be limited at 6k. If it wont work thats fine, was just hoping to save a few bucks!

Thanks,
Curtis

I'm gonna say to small u will max the turbo out to make the 500rwhp if u ever hit it..I think u will have to much back pressure from that turbo

I could be wrong so if I am someone chime in

I run a Holley sniper low profile. I made almost 1400rwhp at 28lbs.
