Default Your thoughts/warnings on this set up

I am new to the world of boost. I had a holset hx55 almost given to me in mint shape. i would like to use it in a single turbo set up.
My current set up is 2005 LQ4 w/ L92 heads, xer281hr cam and all stock engine except for arp rod bolts installed in bottom end and no milling done to heads or block. Edelbrock victor 4150 style intake with efi elbow. Already have a large air to air inter-cooler as well. Looking to get around 650 -750HP would be nice at @9-14 psi boost.
Does anyone know if this turbo be sufficient?
Does anyone have a similar set up of know someone whoe does?
Thanks in advance.

Rextheracer used one of those on his GTO, LS1GTO board. I doubt he made that much power though.

I know he has utube videos but never once puts up 1/4 mile times, dyno numbers or even comments on its performance. At least not a while ago. I will revisit and check.

You are correct. But it was all I could offer and no one else responded.
