I was originally going with the basic on3 turbo kit but i got a free s475 t6 turbo from a family member. So now im gonna get me a trick hot side kit. Do yall think the turbo is too big for the 5.3? I havent got pistons yet. I dont know which ones would be better for my build. I might be going e85 since i have a gas station less than a mile away from me. Lol. Im looking for at least 700hp.

Thats a pretty big turbo for a 5.3. What a/r is it? Why are you doing pistons? Being a 01, I guess thats not a flex fuel truck is it? I am planning on doing a flex fuel sensor so I can take advantage of E85 when I want to.
