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.
