That's somewhat disappointing on the T70. I figured it would get you to 650 without much problem.

Well if I use the t70 it will be on a 5.3 and 500rwhp is the goal for that motor. Ad if I use a s480 it will be on a lq4 and the goal for the motor will be about 700rwhp.

Go with the .96 housing on the mp turbo and its capable of 700 wheel. There are cars making just over 700 with that unit and step up to the 76mm for around 800

it wont be an issue at all, if you go too small on the exhaust housing it will become a restriction and can cause issues. Drive pressures can become an issue and really on a ls platform, I would run a .96 without a doubt. I would guess low 3k rpm on spool, I dont have facts to back that up but compared to other setup, thats what I would assume
