Default How well would a T-60 perform on a 5.3?

I'm not looking for all out power or tq. Just a basic DIY build, with a Z06 cam, and a tune, stock convertor. I'm not sure of the A/R to use.

Thanks.

Would work great. Fast spool up and should put 500-550 to the ground with a good tune.

T60 500 area. WE getting a tad past 500 with a 62-1. And it depends on how hard you are going to push it.
I have a prototype log I could sale to you to help get your project moving down the road. 400.00+ freight. It is not all stainless steel. Hit me up if you want it.

If you are sure you only want 500 rwhp it will work. Most guys end up wanting more and have to get a larger turbo.

T66 is the smallest I would run on a 6.0L.

I think Bill Reid had a 60 on his truck and said it was a torqy little thing that spooled very fast. I think he even said it spooled too fast for his little truck and smoked the tires all the time so he was going to a 62 for a little more lag. Sounds like that would have been fun to me!!!
