Those are only good to around 15psi on a 6.5L diesel motor spinning up to less than 3000 rpm. You'll probably max it out at around 6psi on a 5.7L spinning to 5700 rpm.

It would probably be a good choice for a V6 build, but my opinion is that it's too small for any LT1/LS1 build.

it depends on which turbo you want, there are some that will work awesome but others that will flat out suck. a 6.5 probably isn't a good choice, i would look for more like an hx40-55.
