I just did a 5.3 with a gt45 and didn't want to know what to exspect. Well it only on 10#s to get the bugs worked out. I am very surprised to say the least. It's in a fox body and I think it would crush my old cam only t/a on a 150 hit of spray. I can't imagine what it going to feel like when I turn it up. The only reason people shoot it down is because it isn't a big name turbo

I figured the same and looked at it two ways. The people who were running them on 6.0 without complaints of running out of steam above 6000 rpm couldnt be wrong or they would have said so. Or if it wasnt enough its a cheap enough turbo i would just add a 2nd and do twins.
