Default s400 to big for 5.3?

would a 1.32AR s400 with t6 flange be to big for a 5.3? would have spooling issues?

They are laggy indeed. We have the T4 versions though as well with the much smaller turbine wheels. Better suited for something with those cubes.

How about the T6 1.10 a/r version? Shouldn't that have decent characteristics with 5.3?

Yeah the 1.1 has the 83mm turbine wheel in it. Not good beyond 850-900hp as they get backed up though. Just depends on the power you are looking for. If you want to make 800+ with a 5.3l I would run the 1.32 with a 96mm turbine wheel.

A TV7512 depending on the turbine wheel can be the same lag as the 1.32A/R 96mm turbine wheel.

Yes the T6 version can be done with the smaller turbine wheel. Also their is a 87mm turbine wheel as well, its more money, but fills in the gap between the 83mm and 96mm.
