Nope. I ran a turbo with a much bigger exhaust side (1.58 A/R) on a 5.3L. It was a little bit slow to spool, but still a blast. That turbo was from a 15L 3406B Cat engine.

You are going to have traction issues. lol

LOL. Yeah, I don't think the tires that are on the truck are gonna last long. Eyeballing some 20" MT Drag Radials for when they're gone. I was able to hook the turbo 6.0 in the blue truck on a 275 MT/DR.
