Default V6 singles = TT for my LS1?

I have run factory turbos before but never built/installed a system before.

I have a couple TC Buick V6's with AirResearch turbo's, Turbine A/R 0.82 and Compressor A/R 0.42. The A/R's are based on what I found in a Google search for the units I have.

I was considering using them in my Nova(build in progress). Motor is from a '04 C5(stock), M6 from a Camaro, 3.50:1 9" rear. I will upgrade springs, pushrods, timing set, rod bolts, and oil pump.

I will eliminate the built in waste gate and get a good quality external.

I would like to achieve 400-500 rwtq.
I want either a flat or gradual torque curve without a big hit.
I would like an operating range of 1500-5000 rpm.

Will these turbos get me there?
What level of boost are we talking about?
If they will not get me there what turbos do I need?

Thank you for your time.
