    I ran a MP70 with a 96. A/R. I really liked it spooled good and put out good power for my 5.3 in my 1500. I am sure it was would be plenty for your Colorado. I dont think it would hurt to put a MP76 with a .96 AR. I wouldn't have got rid of my Colorado if they would have had the 5.3 in them when I had mine. That will be a sick ride.

    ya but that all depends on the turbo. You Have to buy a bad ass turbo with billet wheel, BB and such. For the money MP FTW for budget builds

    I agree to an extent. But it isn't always true with turbos. The MP turbos are doing a great job keeping up with the other big names.
