How much boost is the turbo pushing peak? Is it the stock manifold? No problems w/ #7? Sorry if this is all listed in another thread, but i've never seen anyone mention this thing before

How do you think a 6.0l with a T72, or 76 @ same boost would hold up vs the 5.3l?

He would say it's all about timing. And if you have it tuned right then it will live a long time.

at the same boost it might blow but only becasue it would be making more power. at the same power level it should last a very long time. i ran a mostly stock 6.0 in the 600-650rwhp level for a long time.

I dont think he can pulley down that radix enough to squeeze 600rwhp out of it. Maybe if he upgrades to its big brother.
