Default Is my .63 a/r Too much for my Little old LS?

I have a turbonetics turbo,(unknown specs was told it was .50 trim) But it has .63 a/r on it.
My set up.

Blox manifold
Tial wastegate
Greddy intercooler and piping.
Greddy type-s BOV
Turbonetics turbo.
DSM 450's

Here's my question.
I am going to be running it on a bone-*** stock LS with a clutch.
(Bash me all you want I have another LS motor if I blow this one up)
I want to know if this turbo is too big for my set up, or if it will spool too late.

Naw, its not to much... Might spool late but its gonna make up for your non vtec head...

So it should keep making decent power to redline instead of dropping off..

id expect your setup to hit full spool around 4500 which isnt that bad it helps with traction and can keep you out of boost daily driving to help better gas mpg

I've got a BIG prob. I have .50/1.24 A/R on a stock LS. No boost. I'm new to turbo's & figure it's way big on the exhaust side. Any hindsight?
