Default Dump or keep

I came across a set of 853s and I am building a 5.3 Turbo setup. I was planning on just running the motor with Pac springs, head studs, trickflow 216/220 with a microsquirt set up, while leaving the stock 706s. The motor is a gen3 with 40,000 miles it's gorgeous inside. Any opinions would be awesome, or anyone who has run similar set ups! Shooting for 600+, just like any other car guy more wouldn't bother me haha.


Additional info: After doing some looking around I was considering the On3 T76 turbo. Same deal on that, any info please lemme know I am open to opinions, everyone seems very knowledgeable and helpful here.


Let me know if I should make this a build thread also!

Are you asking if you should run the 853s or the 706s or are you asking what turbo to run?

Haha Touche' I got excited.

Are 853s worth the swap for a turbo set up

On3 T76 a stable turbo for making 600-650 to the wheels, anyone ran it
