Is it a 5.3 motor or a 5.7 with 5.3 heads? Do you plan to end up with a 6.0 litre motor, or put 6.0 heads on your 5.7?

For a 5.7 I would think 2 bigger T3's. Something like a .63 (compressor side) / .60 (exhaust side) would work well. Same with a 5.3.

For a 6.0 I dunno. Probably would have to step up to 2 smaller T4 series turbo, or possibly the hybrid.

Good luck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I would go with T4's your charge air temps will be much cooler and you wont have so much back pressure. Yes you will have some lag but you got a auto right?
