Had a friend chose this turbo based off the compressor map for it, using the factory flow numbers for my junky 862 heads.
It an s475 turbo with a 75 front, and an 88 back with a 1.32ar.
To me that ar seems a bit large for a stock cam only 5.3, with a power goal of 700hp.
What do you guys think?

Cant say im the expert here, but I think youd do better with the smaller 83mm turbine in a T4 housing. Itd def support 700whp+ and would likely spool quite a bit better on the 5.3

Ahh ok, that makes sense. Theres another thread, now Im not seeing it for some reason, but he used that same turbo on a 5.3 and had pretty good results. Id say youd prob be ok with the right cam and converter combo as long as its an auto. T56? Id think Id look into some other turbo options.

The 177101 is a better choice imo. At 700hp you don't need a T6 flange on the exhaust. All you're going to do is hurt transient response with a larger a/r and t6 turbine housing.
Run the 83mm turbine with the T4 and 1.00 housing. At a pressure ratio ~2 (14psi) will get you to your power goals with the 100/75mm compressor wheel. The 88mm T6 1.32 will be a dog, and is way too big for a 5.3. You will not reach the flow limit of a T4 83mm turbine with your setup.

The car is a foxbody with a turbo 400.
