700 hp on stock 5.3?
Will it be possible to get 600-700hp from a stock 5.3 lm7 with truck manifolds and a single turbo conversion?
What cam and intake would be best for the job?
I will drive it on e85 and rev about 7000rpm, please help me what more parts I need, This will be a budget build. I also want to have some ideas about the fuel system.
Later I will build a forged engine but I want to play earlier
Will it be better to get a 6.0 lq4 to build then the 5.3 lm7 I got now?
I have already order a t56 magnum I will use with it. Im thinking of use a spec 3+ clutch.

what turbo? I meant the gearbox is a t56 magnum 
and I meant 700 on the crank.
I have think about a gt45r china turbo and try it. I read about people running 8s and 9s with it.

You better plan this project out well...
typically the 6.0 would be the builder block. Yes it is possible but the engine will not last long depending on your driving style.
The ls6 cam and springs will work in a N/A application to 7k, but I would be worried if you are boosting an engine to 600-700 hp, I bet the lifters will begin floating....

But, 700 crank HP is surely possible. Im almost there as it is on my build. We averaged mine out to be a lil over 650 crank HP. But, I wouldnt take the chance of it lasting an extended period of time making 700+....just my 2 cents.
