I think you would be fine, it might not be optimal but it should still run good. I know one member has a 60 on an LQ4. Good luck on the buy

Its also very easy to upgrade the 60 to the 67 instead of buying a new turbo.

Cool

I am running the 60-1 on a LQ4 and it works great really. Been running 12 psi for a while and with meth the IATs seem to be staying within reason. I am not a track racer and the 60 is great on the street. It works well from a dig if you spool it up a little. I have seen 6 psi for a brake stall launch at 2500 rpm and 50% TPA. It does take about 3-4 seconds though. I think I can smell those clutch surfaces burning now. On the street it is great especially at 12 psi because it builds boost nicely without downshifting or has full boost immediately if you kick it down.

Always been curious about the GT67. Maybe I will upgrade the 60 to a 67 over the winter.

Wow! Your specs are killer for that heavy truck. Billy @trt gave me the name of a place in Waco that will transform your 60 to a 67 and do a mild rebuild on it for about 400.00 . Hard for me to decide to do that or buy an intercooler. By the way, The 60 used sts kit is on the way, so let the newbie advice flow.
