Default S480? too big for a 6.0L??

Is an S480 1.32A/R too large for a stock 6.0l? I am wanting to do a mild 6.0 for my 65 Biscayne. Goal is low 10's in a 3800lb car. I want to use as much stock stuff as possible - truck maifolds, intake, heads etc. only thing I really willing to change in the engine is cam/valvesprings. It will be efi.
Any guidance is appriciated as I am new to turbo stuff, especially about turbo sizing. I want to plan this build right, even though it is going to be LOW buck.
Thanks
Barrett

I had a s480 with the 1.32 96mm wheel on a ls1 and made 9psi by 3500rpms with a 6 speed.

I wonder what this turbo could do MPH wise on a 6.0 4k lb. car in the 1/8th max effort.
