MPT70's on a 5.3?

You could make them spool, Some T3, .68 a/r housing should do it. MP also makes some T60's and T64's A couple of bucks cheaper.

Even twin .70 AR t4s should spool just fine. Maybe a little late but you can make 1200whp on em, I wouldn't expect them to spool terribly quickly to make that sort of power!
