Yes.. #'s look good.

LS's are great with boost.. just make sure you get a good tuner..

.50 trim should be fine.. i'd say it will spool up fairly quick

not looking to thread jack, but looks like this ones dead anyways. i tested my compression and the numbers i got on my da were 215, 205,205, 215. good for boost? i thought they were a little higher than most ls's. the car wasnt at operating temp so the actual numbers are probably different, it was just a quick test. im only running a small t3 at 7lbs of boost.

Make sure you do your research first before purchasing any turbo parts.
