I would think you'd want something a little smaller for that setup, especially in a truck. A PT-67 is good for something like 800 hp. You could probably do something closer to a SC 61 that would spool a bit quicker down low and produce plenty of power. I know plenty of guys with mustangs using the same sized turbo making well over 550 rwhp.

T76 would be huge, you can get well over 600 hp out of a 76, have a buddy that is getting 900hp out of his 6.0 chevy 1500 with no nitrous at about 24lbs of boost. I think it would be a but much for a stock 5.4 would def need to be rebuilt and tuned!

I'd be willing to bet something a tad smaller would be way more fun to drive. I have a hard time believing a 76 is even close to its efficiency range on a stock 5.4 truck.

Why put a t76 on there???? they take forever to spool up! A smaller turbo like the guy below me said is going to be way more fun cause you will actually have boost below 4000rpm!
