Default Ideal single turbo size...

I was planning on a twin setup, but will start out with a single to get the project going faster.

The truck will be running a 5.3 for now, but I have a forged 347 lined up soon down the road.

What would be the ideal size to run on a single? I was thinking low boost on the 5.3, and turn it up on the 347. I would love to see 500+ on the 5.3, 650+ on the 347
There will also be a tiny bit of nitrous on the bigger motor.

TC-76..i just sold mine that had just dyno pulls on it but it made 600rwhp on a 370 at 13psi.... the tc-76 would push the hell out of that 347 down the road...IMO

really depends on your budget... I think an MP T76 with small exhaust side would work well on a 5.3 for sure, then just get a new housing for the 347 and be $$$ ahead. I ran an MP T-70 with .96 a/r exhaust on my 5.3 AND on my 347 when I first installed it. The boost came almost instantly with the 347... I just sold the 70 and will be picking up a Turbonetics MC-78 with an F1 wheel and either .96 or 1.1 exhaust... I'm shooting for north of 650 though... much farther north...

If you want a chassis that you can grow into there is a lot of different options out there.

I can get them and at a good price If your on a budget, like Silver-mod-o said, a MP T76 would work well too and is a fair bit cheaper too. I have a MP T76 with a .96 a/r housing on i my truck now, haven't really hit the limit with it, but I think 600-650 rwhp is quite do-able .
