Borg warner S472 good for 700hp?

Will a s472 turbo make 700hp on a 5.3? The engine has forged pistons/rods, 799 heads, nnbs manifold, arp studs, btr stage 1 turbo cam. Im going to be upgrading the whole fuel system to maybe run e85.

Yes it will do 700 I think but if you havent purchased it yet why not just do the 75 and have some room to grow?

Eh, maybe depending on how efficient your exhaust is and how high you want to spin that 5.3. It will be working thats for sure. I assume you mean 700 at the wheels.

What turbine wheel? Think they have 83,87,92, and 96mm if im not mistaking. Box stock S475 with 96mm would be good. Might be a little lazy though. Not sure how budget minded you are.
