Upgrade the fuel and she will do it. That ETR-HO 80 will make the power no problem.

The new 84mm you were speaking about... with a smaller a/r on a 5.3 how much boost will it pump out. I traded for a complete 5.3 that I will forge. Or is 80 ho etr better choice for a small cube high boost app? Thinking the 5.3s may handle more boost load than the bigger bores.

Op how much boost was that to make 833? Fuel?

How much timing was in it? When does the turbo spool on the 5.3? I am probably going with a S480 of some sort over the winter and if my LQ4 lets go I will swap in a 5.3.
