I wouldn't use the Brutespeed cam. The goal you are trying to acheive has been done with the z06 cam or the gt2-3 from Lingenfelter. You don't need nothing that big in a 5.3. the 1.32 a/r might be kinda big for a 5.3 but try it and see how it spools.
There are different turbine wheel options most likely. With only a 5.3, you'd be fine with the smallest which I think is probably a 83mm turbine. They go all the way up to a 96 I think. I'd look more into what size the turbine wheel is and see what AR options are available and we'll go from there.

Verdad Gallardo T6 + 1.32AR on a 87mm wheel with a 5.3 is going to spool pretty slowly. E85 will help, but it's still going to be sorta sluggish. It's personal preference, with an auto, I would do it. But it's up to you. Could try a spool valve maybe.

yeah the smaller housing will help but the general rule of thumb is under 400cid its a T4 flange and over is a T6. youll need a Tbrake and a 2 or 3 step to get it going. a monster turbo cam will help and so will teh nitrous, if you run the rpms up a little higher too but thats dangerous with stock rods. Definitely recommend ARP rod bolts
yes that sounds perfect, even with a a T4 1.00 it will still be capable of well over your power goals but it will work very well on a drag setup and auto tranny, still going to need teh 2 step and Tbrake but once the light turns green itall rocket.
is this a street car, race car, both? give some other details on teh rest of the car

Yeah it will be a street strip car just got it so not really sure where to go with the suspension thinking qa1 coil overs front and rear with a mini tub turbo 400 trans with tbrake all ready have a ten point roll cage in it and a sn95 8.8 is there any thing else I should look into like what would be a good stall converter to go with?
thank you guys for all the help again it is much appreciated

Go with one of the reputable names on here for a converter. Greg@ FTI is a really good guy and knows his **** when it comes to converters and turbo cars. Yank is a good option too. Don't forget about Circle D either.

thank you again guys I know the ls6 cam will get me to the power range that i would like but I would like some thing a little more aggressive sounding if the brut speed is to big is there another good choice with a little more lope ?

Most turbo set ups work great with dual pattern or reverse pattern cams.
Def go with a T4 flange. No need for a T6 when your goal is only 600-750 HP.
Also saw that you are taking the blow through route...good luck. A buddy of mine never got his turbo blow through setup to work, but I know it can be done pretty well.
