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.
