Not sure of how much rwhp they will support, but I'm thinking north of 700rwhp. Someone else will need to chime in on that.

I have a few more questions if you don't mind.
1. Do you use a 3/8" fuel supply line?
2. Have you ever blown a stock plastic intake from boost?
3. Do you generally use the stock throttle body?
4. I know you generally use a single turbo, but if you were to do a 5.3 with twins, which ones would you use? LS9 cam, 799 heads.
I have a 54 Chevy 5 window pickup that I bought to use as a shop truck. I just picked up a junkyard 5.3l to go in it and plan to add some boost, but I really like the look of twins. So right now I'm in the process of getting all the parts together.
Thanks for sharing your advice and info with us.

I have a few more questions if you don't mind.
1. Do you use a 3/8" fuel supply line? on some cars yes, i think its good for like 500-600 whp for sure
2. Have you ever blown a stock plastic intake from boost? no sir, and i have topped out 3 bar map sensors on the ls1/ls6 and truck intakes
3. Do you generally use the stock throttle body? yes every time nothig else
4. I know you generally use a single turbo, but if you were to do a 5.3 with twins, which ones would you use? LS9 cam, 799 heads. i would do a small converter and twin 61-66mm units from CX racing, all out drag i would try smaller AR 5.3's and swing the motor high

we did stock line and returnless for a while, now its return on a half inch hose, and 3/8 return, its not enough now at 18-19psi, going to try a 255 and a 400lph we have laying around and a REAL Y fitting instead of a T thats in there now, see if it will work for fun before going nuts with a huge single pump or something.
actually the car had a sub in it at one point, so we used the like 4-6g wire for the pumps in the tank
