Gt45 in 6.0

I'm lookin to do a street build I'm wanting to get 400 to 450 hp to the ground and wondering if a gt45 on a lq4 with a built 4l60e would get the job done?

Help

a daily driveable 450rwhp is achievable N/a fairly easily with a mostly stock LQ4. now if you are after 750rwhp then its turbo time.
my opinion is that you are wasting your money to shoot for 450 turbo'd hp. Up your goals or stay N/a.

you seem to know it all already why are you here asking for advice?
start searching on here, youll see that a gt45 china turbo combo can do 600+rwhp easily.
I have done 440rwhp on a cam only n/a 6.0, and 580rwhp on a wild high rpm N/A 6.0.
If you decide to up your goals, your best bet is spend a few $ more on a reliable BorgWarner turbo, instead of a china gt45.

LOL, ok now that we have the whole story, Yes it will probably function fine, but list the full specs of the GT45 you have as there are many variations and not all will be happy.
Do you plan to cam the 6.0, or leave it 100% stock?

that turbo will be fine. make certain your downpipe is 3.5 ", others will say you can run 3", but bigger is better.
keep cam very small - like 220/220, 114lsa, or smaller, and good valvesprings are important!
do NOT waste your time gasket matching anything.
