Default help me select a turbo (yes, another one of these topics)

Here is what I either already have, or is on the way:

STOCK B16A3
GSR tranny
ACT 6 puck clutch with Xtreme pressure plate
LoveFab SST mani
LoveFab 2.5 DP
29x8x2.75 Custom IC

I would love to hit the 300 whp mark, but thats just for novelty and braggin rights, so I am kinda rethinking it. I mean DSM 440's can be had for pretty damned cheap, whereas 550 - 720's run a lot more. I was going to run a T3 60/63/60 trim or a T3 60/48/60 trim(which will both be for sale shortly), but have decided to go with a T3/T04e 57 trim from none other than Mr. Paul Vang.

I cant decide between the .63 or the .48. I want something that will spool fast, i love responsive setups. I dont go to the track, I want something really streetable. However, I dont wanna end up spinning and never being able to hook up. Do you think the 48 will keep me from getting traction, or will it be alright?

precision sc61 or sc63 they re great for your application but you could get more than 300 if you build the motor

.63 a/r would be a better choice. It wont take you too long to spool a t3/t4oe with the .63 a/r. You might be dissapointed with a .48 a/r because it will seem like it dies out on the top end, but it will spool up faster. For you I would recommend .63 a/r.

i know the variables are too many to come up with an exact answer, but how much faster would a 48 spool over a 63? I mean is it usually 500 rpms sooner, 1000, 1200?

You're right by saying there are too many variables but I would guess somewhere from 1,000 to 1,500 rpm difference.

Now don't hold me to that answer, it was just an educated guess.
