Default BSFC on Turbo LT1?

I was wondering, has anyone got a decent hold on what the BSFC is on a Turbo LT1? I am building a 383, w/LE Trick Flow heads, Custom Headers (1.75 primaries) into a 3" crossover and a T6 Flanged GT4718, this ia front mount system. It will be Intercooled as well. I was wondering though what a realistic BSFC is on a set up like this, I've head everything from .55 to .65 And just wasnt sure if anyone had any first hand experience on what a tighter range for it might be. Thank you.

It depends, mainly on who tunes it but also a bunch of other junk. It will even have different BSFC at different engine speeds. What are you trying to do, size a fuel system?

pretty much, it looks like im gonna need 120lb units, but im not sure how well they can be tuned, ill be using an XFI system so low impedance isnt a problem, just not sure. I'm kind of on the edge of needing 96s or 120s.

Get the 120s. They tune very easy.
