Correct me if I am wrong guys, but a stock cubed 5.3L motor is going to have a hard time spooling a 118mm turbo (or I'm I reading that wrong - LOL).

Yes i know this is not a perfect match but i wanna know if i would be able to spool at least by 4000 rpm and if it does how much boost can it produce by 4000 on my engine.

118 mm is that the hot side they are describing?

Your cam, converter and tune play so much into spooling and how one runs.

Its a stock cam and it has a 2800 stall converter and it has a 750 cfm double pumper. Is it worth bolting it (no too much hustle) or not?

118mm would be the exducer size of the comp wheel. With a 56 trim if you do the math backwards you will get 88mm inducer. So its an 88/118 comp wheel. On a 5.3L that would be a pain to get it spooled.
