Default Few questions for my front mount build

Im building a front mount 5.3 with an LS6 cam, 241s, truck manifold setup. As far as the intake goes I definitely want aluminum. Would a normal setup like a BBK work better than a Vic Jr/elbow? Also what A/R would be better? Im looking at 2 turbos, a Master Power T70 with .96 a/r or a Turbonetics TC 76 with a .81 a/r. I would think the .81 a/r would work better since Im not spinning this motor very high. Input is appreciated

You run the risk of the .81 housing being a bit on the small side. There is a TC76 on the classifieds right now with a .96 housing. The size of the wastegate depends how low you want to go on boost. I was going to run a similar setup and the 38wastegate Tial is what was recommended to me.

Yeah, I have a TC 76 in the classifieds right now as well. I thought you were building a rear mount. It's really not ideal for a front mount. It would spool very fast, but I'm not sure it could keep up on top.

Was actually looking at yours. The LS6 cam should only pull to around 6K from what I've seen, just need to know which a/r is ideal
