No need to build it if it's already been opened up and checked. Also since it's a 2005 it has the Gen IV rods. Make sure it avoids detonation and let it eat. It will be fine.

I have basically the exact same setup ready to go into my car except I have the 1.15 a/r on my 7575. I am really really curious how far this turbo will go on a 5.3. I am hoping 850+whp but I guess we will see.

I think that's how he does most of his tunes but I am not 100% for sure on it.
I decided to do my own tuning. I figure on e85 and low boost I should have a decent enough margin of error to learn what to do and not to do. Plus I had a lot of fun tuning my NA truck.

Yes and dyno.
He works out LSXKilr in Lawrence. He actually spends time dynoing the car, the polishes it up on the street. Skinnies and MaxxMitchell actually created a dual fuel setup with a double injected intake manifold setup to have both e85 and pump gas running off the stock ecm.
