Default Turbo sizing

I'm not sure if this has been asked numerous times, so please be gentile as I'm new to this. I'm doing a 5.3 in a '94 S10. I have a pair of Garrett T4 AR60 turbos and my question is will they be adequate for my application? Not looking to run on the ragged edge, just want to have some fun. Thanks for your help and your patience.

Do you know the inducer/exducer sizes?

Off the top of my head .60 AR sounds big for twins on a 5.3, but with enough RPM you'll have fun. They might be a little lazy down low

For sake of conversation, one of the site sponsors uses a .85ar housing with a 64mm compressor/55mm turbine. Another non site sponsor uses 55mm turbo with a .63ar housing for less than 700hp(that's all the info that was on their site). Both of these are kits geared for LS engine trucks.

But singles, yeah? So the AR needs to be bigger to support the exhaust flow

I don't think it scales linearly, but 2 .60s would respond like a single .100, ish

How do I find out what size the inducer/exducer sizes are? What sizes would be appropriate? So my next question would be what stall should I be running in front of a 4L60 trans? Just a stocker so I don't really want to grenade this thing as soon as I get it running😉
